I have a Canon 1100d.In fact its my first ever DSLR. I was first weighing options between buying a bridge camera ( Canon SX 40 HS) and a DSLR, and finally went for the 1100d, and I believe I took the right decision.
And most importantly SX40 HS wasn't capable of shooting RAW, which I preferred to have.
1100d produces fantastic images, images I am proud of. 12 Megapixel sensor is just amazing, producing great images from iso 100 - 1600. Of course it has the iso setting up to 6400, however I prefer to use iso ranges between 100-800.
The kit lens ( 18- 55 mm is ii) comes with image stabilization technology so I can shoot handheld photos at shutter speeds of about 30 th of a second without getting camera shake, which is a feature I love so much. However I am looking forward to buy the canon 50 mm 1.8 so that I can shoot in the low light areas, and also to achieve a wonderful bokeh effect.
While I like 1100d very much, if I am looking for an upgrade I'd be going for 7D, or if I have enough money for the 5Dmk2.
