" 16 EOS SLR CAMERAS Ultra-High-Quality Images The EOS Rebel T3 has a 12.2 Megapixel CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) Image Sensor that captures images with wide tonal range and superb clarity. It captures CMOS Image Sensor (Actual size) images perfect for anything from sharing online to huge, fine art prints. Its APS-C size sensor creates an effective 1.6x lens crop factor and enables the photographer to choose from the wide range of superb, compact Canon EF-S lenses as well as the entire lineup of EF lenses.

The EOS Rebel T3 even employs advanced 14-bit A/D conversion, delivering better color tones and cleaner digital files. 9-Point AF The EOS Rebel T3 features a wide area 9-point AF system with an impressive light sensitivity of EV 0 to EV 18 (at ISO 100) for accurate focus even in dim lighting conditions. For fast, pinpoint focusing be chosen manually either with the camera's cross keys or with the electronic dial. 63-Zone Dual-Layer Metering The EOS Rebel T3 features Canon's proven 63-zone Dual-layer metering sensor designed to complement the 9-point AF system. By taking into account the color and luminosity surrounding the chosen AF point, this system delivers a remarkable level of accuracy for more precise exposure and color rendition even in complex and difficult lighting. Since the metering sensor has a color measurement function, exposure errors and focus errors caused by differing light sources are minimized. This results in stable exposure from shot to shot in situations where luminosity changes can throw off other metering systems. The camera balances exposure of the main subject and background, and is not overly influenced by bright areas in the composition. The EOS Rebel T3 also features partial metering and Center-Weighted average metering. Partial metering covers about 10% of the metering area while Center-Weighted average metering places emphasis on the center of the composition.
