We've just posted a full set of lab test shots from a production-level Canon T3i digital SLR! The Canon Rebel T3i takes the feature-set of the previous T2i model, and puts it in a new body with a number of important changes. Key among these is the switch to a new Vari-angle screen, which necessitates a rearrangement of the Rebel T3i's rear panel. Under the skin, the new Canon EOS T3i has the same 18 megapixel resolution as its predecessor, and retains the same pentamirror viewfinder with 0.87x...(read more)

A Canon exec has accused Micro Four Thirds and mirrorless camera manufacturers of entering the segments because their mainstream DSLR models were market failures. Canon’s European head of consumer imaging, Rainer Fuehres, told Amateur Photographer that the company had no need to look to Micro Four Thirds or similar, because it had no issues selling either DSLRs or compact cameras.

Certification for the Canon EOS 600D has been spotted in Korea, tipping the presumably imminent arrival of the updated DSLR. The new camera was submitted to the Korean Radio Research Agency on January 25, though beyond the official name we don’t know what specs the shooter will offer. Although not confirmed, the EOS 600D could well be the successor to the Canon EOS 550D, known as the Canon Rebel T2i in the US. That might make it the Rebel T3i; it’s been almost a year since that DSLR was officially launched.
