Hi Shawn. I have a Rebel T3, or 1100 D as its known over here in the UK. Having been stored away for about 6 months I went to switch it on a few days ago but it wouldn't power up. I tried 2 fully charged batteries and also removed and reinserted the SD Card without success. Any ideas on how to solve the problem would be gratefully received. Also, if the camera proves to be uneconomical to repaired due to its age, would you recommend the 2000 D or Rebel T7 as you know it, as a good entry level replacement.
@@bovinestool1681 Sorry, I have no idea what the problem could be. It seems like it could be a battery to camera connection issue, but I don't really know. As far as the 2000D, on the Photography side of things, it's a great choice. If you are doing video too, then it depends. If 1080p is good and you don't really care about being able to plug in an external mic, and you don't care about continuous autofocus in video, then it would also be good. If any of those things matter to you for video, you might want to check out the "i" version of these cameras (no 4k) or a Canon SL2 (no 4k) or the SL3 (cropped 4k), or the Canon m50 (mirrorless instead of DSLR, but mostly the same, cropped 4k). Hope that helps...
I checked out the other videos on how to use the rebel canon. Good thing I did because of your videos, I learned how to use the spot meter in both manual and auto focus. Which by the way, was something that a friend of mine and I were discussing. He asked me last week, when we were out shooting pictures. "Does your camera square focus box in the view finder turn green when it lock focus on the subject?" He was showing me how his camera can spot meter and lock focus on the subject. And I had no idea how to do that. I said to my friend, "No, my camera doesn't have that feature." And he said no more about it. But thanks to your videos, I found out that my camera does spot meter and focus lock on my subjects. So keep up the good work. View the pictures that I took and posted on RUclips: OSP Band Downtown Winston-Salem, NC and Jamming OSP Band (Old School Players). This was the first time in awhile that I actually went out and took pictures. I know a little more now, so my next shoot will be better. Again, thanks for your teaching!
Every single camera tutorial should be set up like this. Not only do you explain what each function does and how to use it on that particular camera, but you show the consequences and results of using those functions, with different pictures to prove your point. BRAVO. Also, I love all of your fun toys and gadgets you have hanging around as your subjects. That makes it even better. And your son is adorable!
@@ThisGuy Can't wait :) just subbed to the channel. I just bought this camera today also... got the 50mm lense with it. $200 but mind you I am in Canada....
I have been watching a lot of beginner photography videos and am here to say you are the best, your explanation is simple and so clear. Thank you so much.
Thank you for you great, great tutorial. I almost went and bought a point and shoot because I have no idea how to use a nice camera like this. Now I do. Only a few minutes with you and I am happy as can be. Your video was awesome. Now I can start using this cool camera I was able to get. Thank you again sir.
Hey, I like this guy. Just got my camera...watched a lot of tutorials. You have been the best teacher so far. You explained everything thoroughly. Thanks!!!
Love your video. What lens would you recommend for my T3 for shooting group photos like birthdays, family events etc. The angle is very narrow on my lens kit
I love taking photos with phones and hate doing it with cameras, I think it's because of the ease of use. The phone has a large display screen and lots of build in filters and setting. While a camera is capable of more, it just seems like Its just less fun as a hobbie to use the camera lol Hopefully some day I'll overcome this gap keeping me from really enjoying it to its full potential, for now I'll continue studying. Thank you for the awesome walk through and demonstrations!
This is seriously such a great tutorial! Love the easy-to-digest format - the visual examples with the explanations that were informative but not tmi. Thanks for this video!! Super helpful!
Lol simple, to the point, with little funny quips to keep our attention. Textbook teaching. Great job sir. And thank you for the video. Also that king Julian doll is demented lol.
I’m just entering the world of photography. I’m alternating between a film camera (a gift from an ex) and a canon Rebel EOS T3 This is a very clear and comprehensive description. Many thanks for posting
Glad it was helpful. I will be releasing a few new Canon "T-series" camera videos soon. A couple of them will feature the T3i, one comparing it to a more recent T7i model to see how well it holds up 10 years later... Thanks for watching!
I’m buying my first ever “professional” camera because I want to capture real beautiful images and this helped me understand a bunch I thought I might’ve knew thanks a lot!
Thanks so much man! I didn’t know anything about canon cameras, as it was really knew to me, but after watching your video I can use it like a pro! Much appreciated!
Glad I could help! When you're ready, maybe check out some of the other Canon videos I made that go into more detail on certain topics like White Balance and Exposure Compensation. Thanks for watching!
Depends what you want for the photos + the brightness outside, but these settings should be a good starting point... ISO 100 Shutter Speed 1/400+ (faster, if action is too fast for 1/400) Aperture f8+ (higher if image is too bright. lower if image is too dark) White Balance Daylight (if sunny)/Cloudy (if cloudy)/Auto (if sky changing lots)
Great overview. My m50 Canon fell off my car on the highway and had to use my old Rebel T3 and needed the manual walkthrough. Perfect! Up and running with my old camera until I can replace my M50.
@@ThisGuy No. All my friends are telling me to step it up. Maybe a budget of around $1,000-$1,200? Canon USA commented on my IG where I tag them on my busted up camera but they didn't offer any discounts (or free camera LOL). What camera would you recommend?
@@alexartful I'd say, if you have Canon M lenses already, and liked Canon, and want to step up a bit then go with the Canon EOS M6 mk2. If you want to switch and want to stay mirrorless, then both Sony (a6100 bundle with 2 lenses) and Nikon (z50 bundle with 2 lenses) would be good. I like Fuji myself, but the xt30 and xt200 are quite small. Both are fun, high quality cameras too.
I would not get this camera in 2022. If you're a beginner that mostly does photography with some video (and wants to buy Canon), then the Canon SL3 is probably your best value. If you want good 4k video too, then a Canon R10 would be better (more expensive, but on sale right now). Otherwise a Sony ZVE10 or a Nikon Z30 are also good for beginners (but they don't have a viewfinder).
oh, i reviewed the tutorial again for the umph, umph time. picture quality settings slipped by me over and over. This time I got it. I never understood what they meant, until now. thank you. i figure it depends on what you are shooting determines which picture quality setting to use. What would be the best picture quality setting to use for random shooting? L, M or S?
Use L always, unless you find yourself running out of space on your SD card (but in that case I'd buy a bigger SD card). Use RAW + L for really important pics or and/or ones that you want to edit (in Lightroom/Photoshop/etc).
You covered everything very well, thank you, but made no reference to off-camera-flash. Is it communicated via IR/optical, radio, or what? And how to set it up? Thank you!
No need. Either you have your "ISO" up really high (try to keep it as low as possible for the most part), or maybe your "quality settings" are set too low? Check out the timecodes in the description to skip to those parts again. Let me know if one of those were the issue or not.

I would not get this camera in 2022. If you're a beginner that mostly does photography with some video (and wants to buy Canon), then the Canon SL3 is probably your best value. If you want good 4k video too, then a Canon R10 would be better (more expensive, but on sale right now). Otherwise a Sony ZVE10 or a Nikon Z30 are also good for beginners (but they don't have a viewfinder).
Thanks, nice and simple canon tutorial... 👌

thank you. i figure it depends on what you are shooting determines which picture quality setting to use. What would be the best picture quality setting to use for random shooting? L, M or S?
Use L always, unless you find yourself running out of space on your SD card (but in that case I'd buy a bigger SD card). Use RAW + L for really important pics or and/or ones that you want to edit (in Lightroom/Photoshop/etc).

No need. Either you have your "ISO" up really high (try to keep it as low as possible for the most part), or maybe your "quality settings" are set too low? Check out the timecodes in the description to skip to those parts again. Let me know if one of those were the issue or not.
