Overview — Canon EOS Rebel T3

The Canon EOS Rebel T3 is an entry-level DSLR built around a 12MP APS-C sensor paired with a DIGIC 4 image processor. It shoots stills at a maximum resolution of 4272x2848 pixels and offers a 9-point phase detection and contrast detection autofocus system that covers a solid range of shooting scenarios for beginners.

The body is constructed from polycarbonate resin with glass fiber, weighs 495g, and measures 129.9 x 99.7 x 77.9 mm.

Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards. Connectivity includes USB and Mini HDMI output. The camera uses an LP-E10 battery rated for 700 shots per charge (CIPA).
