The EOS 1100D is a digital SLR for consumers who want to make a start shooting still images and HD video. It features many technologies developed for more advanced models and functions which make it even easier to capture fantastic images straight out of the box.
Compact and lightweight, the EOS 1100D is a versatile DSLR that’s easy to carry. When a scene lends itself to video as well as stills, 720p HD video capture is easily accessible via the dedicated movie function on the mode dial. The image can be viewed through the newly-designed, bright optical viewfinder, offering 95% coverage of the scene. Alternatively, Live View shows how different shooting modes will affect the final image on the large rear screen.
A Feature Guide in the menu system offers a brief description of each key camera setting and its effect, helping beginners to learn about their camera as they use it.
Basic+ and Creative Auto remove any confusing technical terms, using plain language to describe settings and their effect on the final image. Basic+ applies a different ambience to the scene, adjusting exposure, white balance and image processing settings according to easy-to-understand pre-sets based on the creative intent or lighting type. Alternatively, the background can be blurred to create more interesting results using Creative Auto, which takes all the confusion out of achieving the desired effect.
Shoot and share
The EOS 1100D makes it easier to shoot and instantly share images and HD video with friends and family. The 6.8cm (2.7-inch) LCD screen features a sharp 230k-dot resolution and wide viewing angle, making it easy to review the day’s shoot immediately. Alternatively, sit back and enjoy the big-screen image playback by connecting the EOS 1100D directly to an HDTV via HDMI, using the TV remote control to scroll through images and high-quality video.
EOS 1100D users can wirelessly transfer their images to a home PC or bypass this stage completely and upload images and video direct to an online sharing account like the Canon iMAGE Gateway or Flickr.
Other features
A 12.2 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor enables images to be recorded for printing up to A3 or cropped for exciting compositions, without compromising image quality. A DIGIC 4 image processing allows continuous shooting at 3 frames per second (JPEG file size only).
Low light scenes can be captured with minimal noise and without flash thanks to a sensitive ISO range of 100 to 6400. The fast, accurate nine-point autofocus (AF) system helps to ensure the subject is in focus no matter where it is in the frame. The EOS 1100D also uses the same iFCL metering system developed for the semi-professional EOS 7D, giving well-exposed subjects even in the most challenging lighting conditions.
The EOS 1100D will be available with a new addition to Canon’s range of EF lenses. The EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II is a new kit lens that offers EOS 1100D users the flexibility to shoot everything from sweeping landscapes to portraits. A lightweight construction means it’s easy to carry, and Canon’s Image Stabilization offers a 4-stop advantage to ensure sharp images at maximum zoom and when shooting in low light. The new EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II will succeed the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS in Canon’s current lens portfolio.
