Considering a DSLR - Canon

[Klesk14]

Hello all,

I've been looking around for ideas on cameras and decided upon a Canon Rebel T3i and wondering if it is a good choice for AP?

Thanks :-)

Actually I bought that (600D) for the same reasons but I still haven't got the chance to try it on the night skies due to the terrible weather conditions we currently have here in Sweden.

Here's one of several tests to consider:

Canon Digital Rebel T2i (550D), T1i (500D), XSi (450D) and XS (1000D) Uncooled Long Exposure Dark Frame Noise & Temperature Testing -by Gary Honis

The 600D and 550D will give exactly the same results.

Handling-wise, you should also look at th 60D due to better grip and handling, something I realized after I bought the camera. But the image quality are probably the same even in comparison to the 600D.
