Canon EOS 1100D is a 12.2-megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera announced by Canon on 7 February 2011. It is known as the EOS Kiss X50 in Japan and the EOS Rebel T3 in the Americas. The 1100D is Canon's most basic entry-level DSLR, and introduces movie mode to other entry level DSLRs. It replaced the 1000D and is also the only Canon EOS model currently in production that is not made in Japan but in Taiwan, aside from the EOS Rebel T4i. Canon announced in February 2014 that the 1100D was replaced by the 1200D/Rebel T5.
Unlike many other Canon DSLRs the EOS 1100D model comes in three different body colors other than black: red, grey and brown. As of 2017 the only other Canon DSLR cameras which offer additional colors are EOS 100D and EOS 300D which are available in white.
