Hello everybody, I have a few big questions to ask about DSLR's, so get ready hehe. So, my first and only DSLR is a Canon Rebel XTi which came out in 2006 (5-6 years ago) and I have been researching and looking at the new Canon Rebels. The Canon Rebel T3i is the one I have my eyes one the most, it has an 18 megapixel sensor, full HD video capabilities, etc. My XTi does not have any video shooting capabilities and has a 10.5 megapixel sensor. My first question is, does the upgrade from 10.5 MP to 18 MP make a big difference in quality? Can anyone make comparisons on this? Is it just the size of the image? But one reason I would really love to upgrade is probably the ISO speeds and the enhanced metering system. My ISO speeds range from 100-1600, and the T3i goes from 100-6400. I often have trouble capturing enough light in darker areas. Of course, the features and interface of are nicer.
My big question I get from this is, what are the major improvements made in SLR technology over the past 5 years? Does the race for higher MP make the image actually clearer? What are the big improvements made between these two? What makes it worth upgrading? Is everyone waiting for something specific in the near future in SLR technology? It seems like there is less to improve now that digital cameras have become so incredibly advanced. Do you think it would be smart to upgrade? And what about lens-wise? The T3i has the same lens size as my XTi, what are the improvements in the lens? Would it be smart to buy the body alone of the T3i? My Canon Rebel XTi is still a magnificent camera, I love it and use it all the time.
Thanks!
