We’ve seen some great-quality, well-spec’d mid-range Digital SLR cameras over the past few months (Canon’s 600D and Sony’s a55 both spring to mind), so it took us a little while to adjust our expectations of the new entry-level Canon EOS 1100D appropriately. With solid yet largely uninspiring specs, it doesn’t immediately inspire acclaim, but one look at the price does a lot to bring us around to this competent first-timers’ DLSR. At less than half the price of the 600D, this camera is definitely cut-down, but not so much that it can’t potentially capture great images and decent video.
