Not a T3i, just a T3. Theres some good sales this week and the T3 is in my price range. Im wondering if its even worth the upgrade what with the 450d being so darn good for AP. New camera or invest the money in a new 300mm lens? Thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks Post Extras:       bilgebay Post Laureate Reged: 11/06/08 Loc: Türkiye - Istanbul and Marmari...

You might try looking for a T2i, but the 450D is sweet spot in the Rebel line. Post Extras:       Dan Watt professor emeritus Reged: 10/13/09 Loc: Oceanside, Calfornia. Re: Upgrade from 450d to T3?

Spend the money on a lens. Post Extras:       McConkey sage Reged: 05/11/12 Loc: Barrie, Ontario Re: Upgrade from 450d to T3?
