## Description

Review From dpreview.com:Ever since Canon introduced its original 'Digital Rebel' back in August 2003 - famously the first 'affordable' digital SLR - the company has continually developed and refined its entry-level line with ever-more-frequent releases, adding in more and more features in the process. So true to form, almost precisely a year to the day after the advent of the EOS Rebel T2i / 550D Canon launched its next model, predictably named the EOS Rebel T3i / 600D. As usual the 550D remains in Canon's range at a lower price point, with the EOS 1100D slotting in beneath it to round off the company's offerings to entry-level SLR users.The new kid on the block can most succinctly be described as a 550D with an articulated screen, that also incorporates many of the beginner-friendly features we first saw on the more enthusiast-orientated EOS 60D. Perhaps most notable of these is 'Basic+', a simple, results-orientated approach to image adjustments in the scene-based exposure modes, that allows the user to change the look of their images and control background blur without needing to know anything technical about how this all works. The 600D also gains multi-aspect ratio shooting (in live view) plus the 60D's 'Creative Filters', a range of effects than can be applied to images after shooting, including toy camera, fisheye and fake-miniature looks. Additionally it can now wirelessly control off-camera flashes, including the Speedlite 320EX and 270EX II announced alongside it.The fully-automatic 'green square' exposure mode has also been updated to 'Scene Intelligent Auto', with a new 'A+' icon on the mode dial to match. According to Canon, this mode (as its name might suggest) now analyses the scene in front of the camera and sets its exposure and image-processing parameters accordingly, and even tweaks the colour output to match. Continuing the 'beginner-friendly' theme, the camera now also incorporates a 'Feature Guide', that displays short explanations of what each function does on the screen to help beginners learn how things work.There's an intriguing 'Video Snapshot' movie mode too, that's borrowed from Canon's camcorder range. This is based on the idea that movies are often more interesting when stitched together from a number of short 'takes', rather than one long continuous clip. It therefore limits movie recording to short snippets of 2, 4 or 8 seconds, then plays them back sequentially as a composite movie, with the option of adding a soundtrack to help tie them together. This, in effect, allows to you produce complex, multi-take movies without having to resort to computer editing.What hasn't changed at all, though, is the camera's core specification, making the 600D the first camera in the line that hasn't gained a higher resolution sensor or new processor. So Canon's tried-and-trusted 18MP APS-C CMOS sensor is still in place, along with its sensitivity range of ISO 100-6400 (expandable to 12800) and 3.9fps continuous shooting. Likewise the 9-point autofocus and 63 zone metering systems are unchanged. This means that the 600D is unlikely to bring any surprises in terms of image quality.On the movie front the camera retains its predecessor's approach too, offering full HD recording via a dedicated position on the camera's mode dial, with full manual control available for those who want it. There's a new digital zoom function, offering 3 - 10x magnification, and the 600D also has sound recording level control built-in, with a stereo sound meter to help judge the right setting.Put this all together, and it's clear that the 600D is an extremely well-featured little camera that's well beyond the traditional stripped-down 'entry level' fare, and indeed gives little away in terms of features compared to the EOS 60D (the differences are mainly in terms of ergonomics and handling). It's also clearly aiming to make life as easy as possible for SLR newcomers to jump onboard and start experimenting with creative controls, while offering plenty of room to learn and develop their skills. But there's an awful lot of competition in this market space at the moment, and the 600D will have its work cut out to stand apart from the crowd and tempt potential buyers away from the small, sleek and lightweight mirrorless models that will sit alongside it on the dealers' shelves. Read on to find out how well it fares in this competitive market.Headline / New features 18 Megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor DIGIC 4 processor with ISO 100-6400 (Expansion to 12800) Fully articulated 7.7cm (3.0”) 3:2 Clear View LCD with 1,040k dots Full HD movie recording with manual control and selectable frame rates Digital zoom in movie mode (3x - 10x) New 'Scene Intelligent Auto' exposure mode (replacing full auto) 'Basic+' and 'Creative Filters' Integrated wireless flash control 'Video Snapshot' mode for the creation of multi-take moviesRevised kit lens - Canon EF-S 18-55mm F3.6-5.6 IS II The 600D gets a 'new' kit lens, the EF-S 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS II. According to Canon this is identical in specification to the previous version, and features exactly the same optics and IS system: it simply has a revised external design. The visible changes suggest a paring down of production costs, for example the 'white square' alignment mark for mounting the lens is now simply painted on, rather than moulded. The camera will also come in a kit with the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens. Canon EOS 600D vs EOS 550D: what's changedOnce again the EOS 600D doesn't officially replace the 550D, but instead slips comfortably into the range between it and the more enthusiast-orientated 60D. The two cameras look near-identical from the front - the 600D is just a fraction taller and wider, due mainly to the swivel-and-tilt screen, and it's a fraction heavier too (by about 40g / 1.4 oz). It's also now got a more obvious grip area for your left hand below the model badge. Naturally, though, that articulated LCD results in more substantial changes on the back of the camera. The unit is hinged from the side, in signature Canon fashion, and takes up more space than before. So while the rear layout stays the same as the 550D,the 4-way controller's a little smaller and some buttons have moved across to the right. This in turn impinges slightly into the rear grip area, so Canon has created a highly sculpted channel to guide your thumb away from accidental button presses, and help provide a positive grasp on the camera. Note too that there's no space any more for the sensor below the eyepiece that the 550D uses to turn its display on and off.One less easy-to-spot change is that the functions of the 550D's 'DISP' button have been divided up. The 600D now has an 'INFO' button in its position, which is used to cycle through the various information display options. There's now a separate button on the top-plate labelled 'DISP', which simply turns the screen on and off, effectively taking over the function of the 550D's eye sensor.This top-down view reveals that the 600D is also a bit deeper, front-to-back than its predecessor, again due mainly to the swivel screen. This adds about 3mm to the depth of the grip, which may not sound like much but improves the handling to a surprising degree. The new top plate 'DISP' button can also be clearly seen here.

Review: brilliant for HD video...oh and its a pretty good camera - Up until this camera came along I used an hd camcorder for my video and a dslr for my bird photography. This camera along with the 70-300mm lens means "one camera does all". The video is great but you need to work at it. Its certainly not as easy to use as a dedicated camcorder but the results can be better. You're thinking of getting the 650d, reading the reviews, comparing it to the 600d and countless others and pulling your hair out at all the pros and cons? Am I close. I'm a photographer and have used this, the 600d and its sony equivalent. I might be able to help. Let me start with an anecdote, (you've read enough technical jargon for now so consider this a breather) I film the eagles on Mull and the landlady I stay with was telling me about this other photographer who visits her little cottage (it's beautiful by the way, you should visit if you get the chance). So anyway, she is cooking tea , as she does if you ask her nicely. While it's cooking he shows her one of his photos, probably of a sea eagle catching a fish. Everyone wants to photograph one of those even though its on every other postcard in Scotland. Next to a highland cow looking over a gate its the top photo/cliche to get.. Anyhoo, she looks at the photo and says "wow that's great...you must have a brilliant camera" . So they sit down for supper a bit later and its delicious, she is a great cook. He says "This is lovely...you must have some great saucepans!" boom boom. But herein lies the real point of this camera. You know its the person behind the camera that takes the pictures but do you really know it? This and the 600d take pictures so good (if you have the skill) you could blow it up the size of front door but are you going to want to. The thing no sellers want to tell you is that for years, maybe 5 , all of the big names have been making great dslr. Since the nikon d40 perhaps. But you really want to know, if you bought this, would you be happy or buying a pup. Be reassured that neither canon, nikon or sony make chocolate teapots. They know how to make a great camera and this is one. It's biggest difference as you will have read ad nauseum , is the touch screen. is it worth it. It is if you like touch screens (I do). That's not flippant, it's how it is. So the photos will be great and its a great camera, you've read other reviews so I won't duplicate what you have already read but one thing you may not have read is about the video. All the makers have got dslr right. No pups in sight, but video is a relatively new feature and Sony have tbh been leading the way. This camera sets to rectify that by having autofocus. A lot of places on the net, say it's not needed, you should be using manual focus. Nonsense. Manual focus is ok at times but can be a pain. Filming your dog on the beach for example..The autofocus on the 650d is actually pretty good. Not as good as a camcorder but pretty good. The slowest part is for it to get going. But when it's locked on its sound. Well worth having. So thats sorted right..err no, not really. This is the 650d 's killer feature. Trouble is, they left out the killer feature on the 600d. The 3x zoom with "no loss in quality". So here is the choice if you are buying this for video. if you want you're 300mm zoom to be able to zoom to 900mm for filming sport or wildlife. It's the 600d for you If you love the idea of autofocus (or hate the idea of doing it the old fashioned way) its the 650d for you. In my opinion if you're considering the other makes like Sony, it comes down to who makes the the lens you are likely to want. I know I have focused (blabbed on) about video but hey, there has been thousands of photo reviews already about iso , shutter speed etc etc. Nothing for me to add there! So if you are considering using it for video here are a few "must have" things you will need to go with it.Hoya 58mm UV FilterReplacement Battery for Canon LP-E8 / suitable for Canon EOS 550D / EOS 600D / EOS 650D Oh and the one that should have gone top of my listMake better videos with your dslr or camcorder So now I have spent ten minutes typing away, telling you how I like the 650d for video (I do) do me a little favour and click that you find this helpful. Unless you don't. Either way you will enjoy this camera but do consider the little brother the 600d also. We live in good times to take photos as there are so many great cameras and this is definitely one of them. One more thing I forgot to mention (and yes it is regarding the video) is that to get great video you need to use the right settings in the menu.Unfortunately these are counter intuitive and if you don't use them you may be under whelmed. If anyone wants them, comment and I will try to post a link I have done lots of tests and made quite a few films with this camera just do a search on youtube for alex sally and you'll find my channel. I have also found what I think is the best setting to use to get a natural look. If you intend using it for video you will need a tripod for sure and probably an external mic. if you want to get the best from it. I'm joking that as a camera "it's ok" . The camera part has been reviewed fully on here and lets be honest no dslr in this price bracket by any make isn't capable of producing great results and this one is no different. Happy shooting.. Since writing this review I have also added (written) a book on desertcart kindle on how to get the best from its video capabilities... Make better videos with your dslr or camcorder alex sally
Review: First impressions - Fantastic! - I spent hours choosing between the Canon 600D and the Nikon D5100. This is what I found out: The main advantages of the Nikon was: a higher rated sensor which is going to give you better images in darker conditions, auto focus while shooting videos, slightly higher buffer rate when continuous Shooting! The main advantages of the Canon was: higher image resolution, better video settings and quality, better resolution LCD display, better button layout and menus! Most of the reviews I read said that the cameras were almost identical in terms of picture quality and build quality!. I viewed loads of images taken by each of the cameras and they were very much the same! it was very hard to tell them apart! I also looked at lens options for the both cameras, the Canon seemed to have more lenses available, and they seemed much easier to understand in terms of compatibility with the Canon bodies! I read that some of the older lenses for the Nikon weren't compatible due to the camera not having a motor built into the body! After all the thinking I decided to go for the Canon 600D with the 18-55mm lenses kit. Today I received it and: I charged it and took it straight outside to take some pictures, one thing I noticed straight away was how big and crystal clear the view-finder was! I put it in auto mode and took a few shots of the plants and buildings! The quality was fantastic, lovely rich colours, very sharp and detailed! Later in the day I went down to the coast and took a few pictures of some seagulls in flight, I could only get so close due to the reach of the 18-55mm! I couldn't believe how quick the camera focused on the bird and how quick it took the pictures! I got home and uploaded them, they came out lovely, excellent focus on the gulls! I was very pleased with the shots!, I know hardly anything about DSLR's and I managed to capture these great pictures without hardly any effort! I am more than happy with my choice, the main reason I choose the Canon was for its high quality and popularity! The reason why I choose to buy a DLSR was: Last year I purchased a Fuji HS20 bridge camera and ever since regretted it! The images produced by the camera (mainly in auto mode) were lacking any detail and the colours looked washed out! it also took forever to focus on moving objects! I visited many forums asking for advice on what settings to use and still was yet to get anything decent out of it!! I wish I had spent a little more at the time and brought a DSLR!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can some give some detailts about "What's in the box" as I've battery doesnt't inluded..**
A: I bought this from Amazon & it had a battery in it. ps use only class 10 memory card for best results the camera deserves it lovely bit of kit

**Q: Will lenses for the 450d fit on to 600d.**
A: All EOS lenses will fit all canon camera dslr models I believe. I have a 350d, and all it's lenses are now used on the 600... Including third party lenses.

**Q: Is it possible to use Wifi on this camera to share pictures with the smarthpone app?**
A: There is no WiFi on the camera only via cable or card.

**Q: What’s the lowest aperture?**
A: The question is ambiguous, as to whether it's the narrowest aperture (in the f/20 region with normal lenses) or the widest aperture (most likely physically limited by the camera housing to be ~ f/0.3 or so?)

The aperture will depend entirely upon the lens in use. The aperture range available will be listed in the specifications of the lens.

I also looked at lens options for the both cameras, the Canon seemed to have more lenses available, and they seemed much easier to understand in terms of compatibility with the Canon bodies! I read that some of the older lenses for the Nikon weren't compatible due to the camera not having a motor built into the body! After all the thinking I decided to go for the Canon 600D with the 18-55mm lenses kit. Today I received it and: I charged it and took it straight outside to take some pictures, one thing I noticed straight away was how big and crystal clear the view-finder was! I put it in auto mode and took a few shots of the plants and buildings! The quality was fantastic, lovely rich colours, very sharp and detailed! Later in the day I went down to the coast and took a few pictures of some seagulls in flight, I could only get so close due to the reach of the 18-55mm! I couldn't believe how quick the camera focused on the bird and how quick it took the pictures! I got home and uploaded them, they came out lovely, excellent focus on the gulls! I was very pleased with the shots!, I know hardly anything about DSLR's and I managed to capture these great pictures without hardly any effort! I am more than happy with my choice, the main reason I choose the Canon was for its high quality and popularity! The reason why I choose to buy a DLSR was: Last year I purchased a Fuji HS20 bridge camera and ever since regretted it! The images produced by the camera (mainly in auto mode) were lacking any detail and the colours looked washed out! it also took forever to focus on moving objects! I visited many forums asking for advice on what settings to use and still was yet to get anything decent out of it!! I wish I had spent a little more at the time and brought a DSLR!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love it..but need to upgrade lens
*by L***A on 14 January 2013*

This is my first DSLR & I love it, the quality of my photos has increased so much & I no longer want to use any other camera. it's taking some time to learn the different features & techniques, but thats all part of the fun. It would have been better if the guide manual included was a little more photographic, lots of words didnt really inspire me, so I purchased a detailed hardback instead. My only (slight) regret is that I didt get a bigger lens, this one isnt great for far away so I'm now looking at getting a second lens, mainly for travels/landscape shots. Overall though, a great camera, brilliant quality (as usual from Canon) & very good value.
