this is a feature i've not seen before, and i'm wondering if it should be used or not.
peripheral illumination correction. i know what it does, but does anyone have input on whether it is worth using or not.
any thoughts ?

| I had it turned on for a while, but eventually turned it off because I started shooting RAW. The correction doesn't get applied to RAW files (I believe you can do it if you use Canon's software), so I just use the de-vignette feature of Aperture (or I retouch out if it's small). |

| Most vendors have a lens correction that can auto fix that based on the profile of the lens anyway. I just see it as another irrelevant option on the camera menu. I use LightRoom and it can do that if you like.... although to be honest I tend to ADD it when it's not present on portraits anyway :-) |

It's a very useful feature if you're shooting JPG and want to minimize PP time for bulk jobs, especially. Lens vignette (what this corrects for) can be very distracting in certain situations, and it's great to have the option to apply this correction in-camera instead of in post, particularly if you shoot jobs that require mass processing.
Here's Canon's knowledge-base article on it:

Same here, I typically add vignetting to a lot of my portrait work, especially when I shot with a cropped sensor. |

One thing to bear in mind if you're ADDING vignette for artistic effect: if there's a significant amount of lens vignette present in the base image, like for example wide open at 24mm and f/4 on the 24-105mm f/4L on a 5D body, then adding vignette on top of that is gonna darken the corners way too much as you work to add darkness around the edges. Ditto if want to darken the sky or the foreground with a linear gradient. So a lot of the time, particularly when I know I'm gonna want some vignette, I process it out (automatically) during the RAW conversion and then add it back in post, where I can control it much better.

True, I'd much rather add it myself, good point. |

it's the other halfs' first dslr, and she'll be shooting in jpeg, and wanting high quality out of the camera with minimal hassle afterwards. she's also enrolled in a 35mm intro/dark room class currently. her dslr is the canon eos 1100D ( the body says T3, the manual says 1100D ). she wanted a light weight, cheap, dslr, and one that could capture high quality files. she's headed to ireland this summer.

Canon markets their entry level DSLR's differently in regions, but it's the same camera. For instance, in addition to my 7D I still have my Canon XSi which is marketed as such in the United States. In Europe and other areas it was marketed as the Canon 450D. In Japan and probably other Asian countries it was the EOS Kiss X2. Same exact camera and features...different name. I read an article stating that in the United States items with fancier sounding techie names tend to sell better than items marketed with numbers hence the XSi rather than the 450D. So the manual that camera with your wife's DSLR is totally accurate and useful.
