Is a Canon Rebel T3 an appropriate entry-level DSLR?


I'm starting photography and am wondering if the Canon Rebel T3 is a good choice.


My only real constraints are that I want to able to take "burst shots" (such as of sports events) and low light shots.


Thank you



Answer



Entry-level DSLRs can do burst shots, but none of them is very strong in it.


With RAW, the Canon T3 can only shoot two frames per second and has to stop after five frames. JPEG is a little better, 3 fps up to 830 frames.


Nikon D3100 is faster with RAW (3 fps) and has larger/faster buffer (13 RAW, unlimited JPEG).



Pentax K-r has the fastest frame rate, 6 fps (25 JPEG / 12 RAW), but you might find its tracking AF inadequate and too slow for sports events.
