– Pinky supporting the bottom of the camera to help bring it up to my eye quicker. – Middle and ring finger around the grip. – Index finger on the shutter release at all times. While I still stick to that statement, I’ve learned to not work against it, but to work with it. In Day 1, I stated that the grip was a bit too small for my fingers. The camera looks like a blunderbuss with a 35mm F/1.4 L and lens hood attached, but they two work together very well. Sometimes I’ll let the camera dangle a bit if I need to, like if I need to reach for my wallet or my phone in my jacket pocket, etc.įor this type of shooting, I still feel that the Canon 60D is best due to the ergonomic advantages and weight balance, but the Canon T3i puts up a damn good fight. When out casually shooting street photography, I usually keep the camera’s strap wrapped around my wrist and keep the camera in my hand. But it’s not all wonderful.įYI: just to let you know, this posting will be updated to include the Canon T3i soon. While doing this, I never went above ISO 1600. The good news: I shot these with the very good Canon 35mm F/1.4 L: perhaps my favorite lens and on our list of recommended glass. When I first got the unit, the RAW file support wasn’t released yet. In Day 1, we gave some first impressions of the Canon T3i and we also did a quick video test.

The day I shot the images in this story is the day that Adobe released the update to allow Lightroom 3 to edit images from the Canon T3i.
