The Canon EOS 1100D is the new entry level DSLR from Canon. Canon is aiming this camera at first-time DSLR users.
From comparing the speck of the Canon EOS 1100D it appears to have similar features to the Canon 600D but the speck is somewhat reduced. So in my opinion is a cut down version of the Canon EOS 600D.

The Canon EOS 1100D comes with a 12 megapixel CMOS sensor, 2.7 inch LCD screen, 3fps continuous shooting mode, 9 autofocus points, 63-zone iFCL exposure metering, ISO 100-6400 sensitivity, on-screen Feature Guide, and 720p HD video capture.

First Impression.

• Its small and light
• Plastic shell,
• Build Quality is good
• The handgrip is narrow, mildly uncomfortable for people with big hands
• Standard Lenses supplied with the camera is probable the most basic lens canon has in its kit. (my view it's a poor quality lens – pity canon was so stingy because this lets the camera down to a first time canon person)
• The Canon EOS DSLR 1100D's control layout is very similar to the 600D
• All round a nice little camera pity about the lens
