I own a T3i and it is litterally falling apart on me after just 19 months, due to the sheer volume of photos I take. I decided to get an upgrade but with the new 24 pixel camera I have, I have had nothing but problems from the start. With the T3i, I frequently shoot with my Tamron 28-300 zoom and I can consistently take beautifully clear shots at 1/13 sec at 300mm, hand held.
I have been told that when you increase pixels the camera gets pickier and needs a tripod. The way I shoot, I find a tripod to be a great hinderance. I find it difficult to believe that a more expensive camera will do less for me than the T3i. I would like to know what your thoughts are. I will take this camera back and buy another T3i body if that is what I need to do. I show my work in galleries and was hoping to get less pixillation on larger prints. I might want to get the new 16-300 lens I hear Tamron is coming out with, if I stay with the T3i.
I have gotten pretty good at using Photoshop to my best advantage too. The computer screen is my canvas.
