I've been saving my money for awhile, and I now have enough to buy my first DSLR camera.
What I am now trying to decide is whether to get the Canon T2i or Canon T3.
Theres about a $150 price difference between the two, so my main question was what are the differences between the two?? And ...which one would be more worth my investment??
If you have any advice, please help!!(:

A simple search on Youtube would give you much better advice than some teens.

Logic states the T3 would be better.. since it's their latest one.
It's simple really...
Want the latest features for the best photos? T3.
Want to save money but still have a great DSLR? T2i.

Personally, I'm still rockin a Konica Minolta Z20 for serious photos (5MP is plenty) and a Samsung ST65 for quick work or big images.
No need for expensive DSLR's unless you study photography, really. You'd really need to be using the camera for all it's worth. .
If it's just for instagram/facebook, buy a point and shoot. Save yourself the money and the features you'll never really use.
But that's besides the point. haha

The t2i is more expensive because it has a higher/better quality sensor. The t3 has a 12 megapixel sensor, and no video mode. The t2i has a 18 megapixel sensor, and there's also custom firmware that you can get for it to get more functionality, oh and of course you get the 1080p video mode which is a great feature to have if you one day choose get into film. Personally I'd say get the t4i, but it could be out of your budget since the price tag for body only is $950, but i hope this helped.

Oh, I wasn't aware of the price of either.
T2i, hands down. Look no further.

If you don't know the difference in specs then you shouldn't buy a camera at all
