Canon EOS models are Canon's line of SLR cameras. Canon has been making SLR cameras since May of 1959, when the first "Canonflex" was introduced. The Canon EOS line of SLRs was born in March, 1987, with the introduction of the EOS 650. The EOS brand stands for "Electro Optical System," but reference is also often made to EOS, the Greek goddess of dawn.

Today, Canon EOS models span a broad range from inexpensive but highly capable entry-level models to some of the most sophisticated professional SLRs on the market. Generally (in the US, at least), you'll find Canon EOS models with model numbers beginning with a letter are consumer through prosumer models, while those that begin with numbers are prosumer through professional models. At the top of the Canon EOS product line are the legendary 1-series.

	Canon EOS Rebel T3 (EOS 1100D) 12.2 megapixel, SLR, 3.00x Zoom Marking a new entry point to the Rebel line, the Canon T3 offers good image quality, a friendly design, and excellent battery life. Although its burst-shooting capabilities don't match the best-in-class, and has a few omissions such as dust removal and spot metering, these are fairly easy to overlook given the entry-level pricetag. In all, a fairly easy recommendation for the first-time SLR buyer. Released March 2011	$419-650 Full Review
