Does the Canon Rebel T3i have selective color mode?
Next month im going to purchase the Canon Rebel T3i. From my own experience i found that Canon takes crisper pictures. I was the comparing the T3i with the Nikon D5100 and i noticed that that D5100 had selective color mode which i thought was pretty cool. I was just wondering if the Canon Rebel T3i offered the same feature.

rob answers:
No, but it is better to do those kinds of color effects in a photo editing program, whether it be converting a photo to B&W, sepia, or doing selective coloring. This is because you can have the original copy of the photo as well as the edited copy just in case.
And here’s program where you can do selective coloring:

It is called GIMP, and it’s essentially a free alternative to Photoshop. And here is the tutorial for selective coloring:

What Lens converter should I get for my Canon t3i if I have a minolta AF Maxxum 50mm 1:1.7 lens?
I just want to make sure I get the right lens converter!

rob answers:
You should have either picked a 50 mm f/1.8 lens for your Canon 600D or bought a Sony dSLR so the Minolta lens would fit.

There isn’t much you can do now, although the lens will fit physically, automatic diaphragm, auto-focusing, or any other functions will not operate correctly while using this adapter

What the best video format for YouTube from a Canon Rebel T3i?
I just bought a Canon t3i . I need help, I can seem to find the best video format, because since I upload video with mov. I didn’t have nice quality I try others, but dosen’t seem I have gotten the best quality. I don’t know if is my camera on setting or my memory card. If it is my setting on my camera, tell me.

rob answers:
Hi, as I know, youtube doesn’t support mov video fine, the best format for Youtube is H264/AVC codec .mp4 video, so if you want to upload your video on youtube within good quality, you can follow me to use Youtube Movie Maker to help you, it can auto convert any format/codec videos to the best profile and format/codec youtube videos then upload onto youtube quickly, just run Youtube Movie Maker, press “Upload Video”, add your video file in the file list, then press “Convert & Upload”, it will auto convert your video file to right profile and format then upload on youtube without any problem, and you also can use it to make youtube videos from various videos, movies, pics, musics, audios, texts, lyrics, etc, you can download it from makeyoutubevideo.com, hope it can help you.

Nancy asks…
Is it worth buying a Canon Rebel T4i or should I just buy the Canon T3i?
I would be upgrading from a Canon Rebel XT. I have a lot of lenses already, very expensive ones such as macro ones, etc. I am mainly interested in resolution, file size, and the pop out screen of the T3i. Is it worth spending the extra money and waiting?

rob answers:
T4i? Idk…. You probably need to wait for 2 years

Richard asks…
what do I have to but to connect a Canon T3i to a Celestron NexStar 4 SE Telescope for astro-photography?
I’m buying a Celestron NexStar 4 SE Telescope soon, My friend has a Canon T3i and we want to take pictures of the planets. What kind of extension/connector do I need?

rob answers:
Your main problem is going to be tracking. But getting a t-adapter (as already mentioned) is a key thing to get.
You also want to see if the camera has a “live view” feature. This will help speed up your focusing and framing your shot. You also want to use a laptop to connect to the camera’s USB port. Then you can use Canon’s software to control the camera and download the pictures too.
