Canon EOS Rebel T3i / 600D Overview and Optics

The optics of the Canon EOS Rebel T3i / 600D receives a score of 40/100. This camera features 18 megapixels, a shooting speed of 3.7, a CMOS sensor type, and a Digic 4 processor. The DXOMARK score for the sensor is 65, and the sensor size is APS-C. The lens mount is Canon EF-S, and there is no image stabilization. The aspect ratio is 3:2.

Comparing these specifications to today’s market, the Canon EOS Rebel T3i / 600D falls short in certain areas.

However, the 18-megapixel resolution and the APS-C sensor size are still respectable features and allow for quality images to be captured.

The Canon EOS Rebel T3i / 600D has a lower score in optics, revealing that it may not be the ideal choice for photographers seeking top-notch performance. However, the camera’s specifications remain adequate for casual photography or those on a budget.

Optics	Canon EOS Rebel T3i / 600D
Megapixels The higher the number of megapixels, the more detail the cameras sensor can capture.	18 MP
Image Resolution Image resolution is measured in pixels and megapixels, width by height. The higher the number, the higher its resolution.	5184 x 3456 px
Sensor Type The camera sensor captures light and records the image. Sensors vary in physical size, the number of pixels, and quality.	CMOS
Sensor Size The sensor size contributes to the overall quality as well as the dynamic and tonal range a camera can capture. As a rule of thumb, the more surface there is to read the light, the more information it will capture.	14.9 x 22.3 mm
Sensor Format Refers to the most commonly used sensor sizes.	APS-C
Frame Rate The number of sequential frames per second the camera can write to the memory card when shooting in burst or continuous mode.	3.7 fps
Lens Mount The lens mount will tell you what type of lens range you can fit onto the camera body. Often the same camera company will have different lens ranges for different cameras.	Canon EF-S
Image Processor The image processor in the camera converts the information collected on the sensor for digital storage on the memory card.	Digic 4
Aspect Ratio The aspect ratio refers to the proportional difference between width and height. The most popular aspect ratios are 3:2 and 4:3.	3:2
Minimum ISO (Native) Refers to the lowest native (or 'base') ISO setting. Lower ISO are less sensitive to light but make a cleaner image.	100
Maximum ISO (Native) Refers to the highest native (or 'base') ISO setting. Higher ISO is necessary for low-light situations or night photography, but higher ISOs often introduce grain or noise.	6,400
Minimum ISO (Expanded) Expanded (or extended) ISO is a digitally enhanced feature available on some cameras. It allows you to push beyond the native ISO range if necessary.	100
Maximum ISO (Expanded) Expanded (or extended) ISO is a digitally enhanced feature available on some cameras. It allows you to push beyond the native ISO range if necessary.	12800
Minimum Shutter Speed The minimum shutter speed will tell you the longest exposure your camera can take without using an external accessory.	30 s
Maximum Shutter Speed The maximum shutter speed tells you the length inside 1 second the camera will capture. These can sometimes be extended with accessories such as extra external batteries.	1/ 4000 s
Autofocus Points Autofocus points show where the camera is focusing graphically as squares or brackets in Live View or on an electronic viewfinder. These points are also used for light meter readings.	9
In-body Stabilization In-body Stabilization means the camera has a certain technology embedded that counteracts camera shake.
Viewfinder Type The viewfinder type is either electronic or optical. Electronic viewfinders will have a small screen in the viewfinder. Optical viewfinders will use prisms and mirrors to look through the lens.	Optical (pentamirror)
