The company was clearly in a n experimental mood, and got the harebrained idea that consumers just might snap up red and brown DSLRs the way they do its candy-colored point-and-shoo ts. The outfit's now selling its beginner-friendly EOS Rebel T3 in red, brow n, and metallic gray -- all in addition to your garden-variety black, of cou rse. Sure, that's tame by Pentax's wacky standards, but for Canon it's prett y... outlandish. Since the camera went on sale this spring, its price has dr opped from $599 to a promotional $549 for the kit, which includes an EF-S 18 -55mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom II lens. As for the body, if you'll recall, it has a 12 .2 megapixel sensor that records 720p video (a rarity for an entry-level mod el), a nine-point autofocus system, ISO 100 to 6,400, and a 63-zone dual-met ering zystem.
