Upgrade from EOS T3 suggestions

mamou90 — Tue, 24 Oct 2023 14:27:10 GMT

Im looking to upgrade my wifes EOS T3 (no WIFI). She has a few lenses and other accessories for her T3. Is there another camera that will work with these? Any suggestions?

mamou90,

The T3 uses an EF mount, and there are plenty of cameras out there that use EF and EF-S lenses.

You can move to the RF mirrorless line and use your current lenses with an EOS-RF adapter.

As far as accessories go, I think it would depend on which accessory you're talking about - specifically, I'm thinking of the battery.

Before people can give you a suggestion, they would have to know what your budget is.

Hi and welcome to the forum:

Giving the best advice demands we know as much as possible about what you want out of a camera, so it would be helpful if you can tell us the following:
1. Budget - we can suggest all sorts that you can't afford, which is not helpful to you
2. What lenses does she currently have - please be specific!
3. What types of subjects does she photograph?
4. What does she produce - social media, display on digital devices, small-medium prints, really large and detailed prints?

What are the deficiencies in the T3 that you want to remedy?

She wants WIFI connection for easier photo tranfer.

I dunno, reading some of the posts on here lead me to believe that WiFi is as much a curse as a blessing.

I totally agree with Kevin. What is she trying to transfer the files to?

If one scans the number of posts from people who are challenged by trying to download over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, they are considerable, especially with Apple products.

Of course, we are the emergency room here, we see all the problems. People don't post here saying "I just wanted to say that my WiFi works great to download images!". 8^)

True, but when put in proportion to the number of other issues, I would hazard that it's not the panacea that many think and hope for.

Canon has not released a new entry level DSLR comparable to the T3 in several years. All new camera and lens development seems to be geared toward R series bodies that use RF mount lenses.

Canon currently has two entry level and beginner level camera bodies that use the RF mount. Thee are called the R100 and R50. Either body with an adapter will cost between $500 and $1000.
