Why do many people consider a canon eos 1100D junk? what makes it so bad? and got a better answer
Response from Антон Владимирович[+++++]
It's not bad at all - it's just very simplistic, literally everything you can do without for the sake of cheapness has been thrown out. Moreover, it's better than the 600d and other cameras of this generation, because with the same sensor technology its resolution is smaller, i.e. there are more pixels. I don't pay much attention to everything except the sensor in the camera - yes, viewfinder is dark, autofocus is slow - that's a reason to learn to shoot quickly with slow autofocus, using it statically in advance, it comes in very handy later. Autofocus forehead also provokes abuse, with it you often stop looking at the background altogether. So it's all pretty relative?

From my point of view as a Nikonian it's bad in that Canon.
So it depends in whose hands.
They can consider it junk because the old technical quality of a picture will be absolutely at a level of its congeners not at all worse but this quality still should be able to extract: you have already been told that 80 success is a photograf. I don't know why you don't want to get more people interested in the 1100D, but you have to get there first: you have to get your level of technology and then you'll have to get it right away.
what is it so bad? - It's not so bad for those who need it.
There are a lot of things it's not good for. Lousy body materials bad ergonomics marketing cutbacks in everything bad timing dark small viewfinder crappy sensor bad focusing system and so on and so forth. Buy used to learn the basics, sell it and buy something normal is the perfect setup for this camera.
Very often users of more expensive cameras are disparaging cheaper and simplified entry level cameras. You have to understand that these cameras are for a certain group of amateur photographers: beginners who bought their first SLR or those who at the moment have no money to buy more advanced equipment. Your task is to prove the opposite with your masterpieces:
Valery, I'm a dummies and when I chose my SLR camera I didn't listen to any advice, and chose it according to the parameters I needed, my EOS 600D differs from your EOS 1100D by the availability of a tilting screen, jack for an external microphone and greater sensor resolution, and the tilting screen and jack for external microphone have been needed for me several times, especially the tilting screen when taking pictures with your hands above your head he is a must. The main reason for the loss of the digital camera is the lack of a built in digital camera with a detachable pivoting screen and an external microphone jack which makes it even more useful.
