CANON EOS 600D

The Canon EOS 600D allows anyone to capture breathtaking images with creative freedom. With an 18.0 megapixel Canon developed CMOS sensor and DiG!C 4 Image Processor, users can create inspiring images with incredible detail even in low light. The EOS 600D is perfect for those looking to pursue the creative world of DSLR photography. Lenses sold separately


EOS 600D can record full HD 1920x1080p videos that offers manual control where exposure and frame rate of 30.25 and 24 fps at full resolution, and 60 and 50 fps at a resolution of 720p. Other than, the EOS 600D provides several filter effects to make the photos more interesting to the RAW image and all JPEG images. Features filter can be applied after the user performs image capture and apply different filters to the same picture with some selection effects


600D Camera Body (Exterior) Some photographers (including me) expected a redesigned camera body. In fact, the Canon 600D looks almost identical to the camera it replaces, the 550D (T2i). When you look at the front, you can see that the camera is a bit larger (133.1 x 99.5 x 79.7 mm) than the 550D (128.8 x 97.3 x 62 mm). So according to the specs, the T3i is 2.3mm wider, 2.2mm wider and 17.7mm larger in depth (probably due to its swiveling LCD). In terms of ergonomics, it would feel the same as the T2i. The 600D is also ~40g heavier than the 550D. When you look at the backside, you can see that the buttons are arranged almost the same, just a minor placement change due to the swivel-tilt LCD switch on the right side. Talking about the LCD, Canon has equipped the EOS 600D with a Vari angle 3-inch (7.7cm) 3:2 Clear View TFT display with 1040k dot resolution. This is most probably the same LCD screen used on the 60D. The LCD has 170° Horizontal and Vertical viewing angles and has Anti-reflection and anti smudge coating. I am sure that videographers will be happy to see that Canon has decided to use that type of screen on this entry-level DSLR too. 
 From personal experience with the 60D, I must say that the LCD is very useful for shooting in awkward shooting angles, both in stills and videos. Its built quality is very good and it has a tacky and sturdy feeling to it when tilting and swiveling it. The LCD image quality is also excellent. I really enjoyed viewing image and videos on the 60D and I am sure that you'll get the same experience with the 600D as well. TIP: Even though this is a swivel screen and you can collapse and close it with the viewable part towards the camera, I recommend getting a protecting cover for it. I bought an InvisibleShield 3.5" screen protector which perfectly fits this screen. Yes, 3.5-inch, not the 3.0. I didn't want the 3.5-inch, but that what they have at the store. After buying it and putting it on, I've realized that this is the perfect size for it (apparently). I didn't try the 3-inch one, but the 3.5-inch does fits this LCD. Just note that this is not a recommendation, just this is what worked for me. Ask your dealer about a screen protector for the 600D. The camera body has USB 2.0, Video Out, remote control, mini HDMI and 3.5mm stereo connectors. The 600D works on SD/ SDHC / SDXC memory cards (no dual slot) and support the BG-E8 grip. Does the 60D battery grip works with the 600D? - According to the specs, No. The 600D supports the BG-E8 grip, while the 60D supports the BG-E9 grip (BTW: excellent grip, very comfortable). The camera itself weights 570g including battery and memory card. Overall, the 600D looks almost identical as the 550D, but with minor changes in size, weight, button placement and button size.
