![]() ![]() That is to be expected, as the camera ramps up sensitivity automatically in video testing, with no manual control allowed. The Canon T3 had less than 0.9% noise in low light, which was slightly worse than we saw in bright light color testing. ![]() See our full low light color performance review, including comparative images and analysis. Still, it’s a very good result and the camera earns points because of it. Considering the T3 produced a much greater color error both in still photography as well as in bright light video testing, we can only chalk this up to a bit of luck on the T3’s part. The camera also had saturation that was nearly perfect. Our low light video testing found a color error of just 2.39 with the T3, which is extremely accurate.

This isn’t particularly sensitive, but it’s a low enough amount of light that in most practical situations that don’t involve the inside of a dark bar, you’ll be able to record usable images. The Canon T3 required 12 lux of light to record an image that registered 50 IRE on a waveform monitor. Read our full sharpness performance review. The combination also created a pronounced moire effect with pretty obvious chromatic aberration at the highest spatial frequencies. The camera and kit lens could manage just 450 lw/ph of horizontal sharpness, and 500 lw/ph vertically. The 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens on the T3 proved to be very soft in our still resolution testing and that holds true here. See our full motion performance review, including video clips. Given that this is Canon’s first sub-$600 DSLR with HD video, it’s not a bad effort. There is little signal interference or aberration visible in the rest of the motion, however, despite the video being just 720/30p. In our motion test this is most visible in the train’s face and the monochrome pinwheel. The T3 rendered motion fairly well, with its major issue being trailing across the frame. See our full noise performance review, including crops and comparative analysis. This is very common in DSLRs, and it’s right in line with what we saw with the T3i. The major issue was color noise, especially in the red channel. The T3 suffered from less than 0.6% noise in bright light video testing, which is basically identical to what we saw on the T3i.
