Canon are putting emphasis on the ease with which a compact camera user can adapt to the DSLR
So we put this to the test. We selected the “Scene Intelligent Auto” and let the camera do the work. Generally the results were good
But with the usual c

Highresolution LCD screen. Wireless flash control. Digital zoom function in video recording can be really useful (at 3x). Excellent stillimage and video quality. Good shooting experience.
The editors didn't like
Dislike
Auto focus in live view is frustratingly lethargic
Requires menu-surfing to find some options
The control layout isn't as streamlined as we think it could be
Meagre burst rate
Not built for those with large hands
Stills photographers might find it too similar to the 550D. No selectable RAW sizes
Excellent sensor and great high-ISO quality, articulating LCD screen is bright and detailed, some improvements over the EOS 550D
Some menu options hard to find, layout of controls could be better
Only a few reservations prevent us wholeheartedly recommending the Canon EOS 600D. The buttons do take a while to get the hang of and the menu system can be labyrinthine at times. It's an excellent choice for shooting in automatic mode though, and the pho...
Good picture quality, Highquality swivel LCD screen, Fully functional Live View viewfinder (image preview and settings), Good 1855 mm IS II kit lens supplied, Good software package included / Excellent battery life
Optical viewfinder a bit narrow, Autofocus in Live View and video too slow for use out and about, Noisy shutter release, No video mode button / No presence detection to switch off the LCD, More custom controls would be nice
The Canon EOS 600D is a logical, if not strictly necessary, update of the 550D. It's not a camera that'll go down in history but it's a decent SLR that takes good pictures and has plenty of settings. ...
Detailed vari-angle screen, wireless flash control
Plasticy build quality, slow AF in live view, Raw continuous shooting
The 600D’s 18MP sensor produces great-looking images to rival any mid-range DSLR. The build quality and slow live view may be its weaknesses but the inclusion of a vari-angle LCD screen and wireless flash control features make the 600D a very strong mo...
We have only a few reservations stopping us from wholeheartedly recommending the Canon EOS 600D for amateur photographers. Its buttons take a while to get the hang of (and we think a more logical layout would make them friendlier), and the menu system...
Although the Canon 600D's focusing speed is generally good, the meagre burst rate and slow down upon processing mean that it's perhaps not the ideal camera for action photography. It's also probably not ideal for larger handed users, but otherwise ther...
Abstract: The nicest thing about the Canon EOS 600D is that it improves on the already excellent 550D, which we reviewed last issue, and which gained our coveted Platinum award and Editors’ Choice.It’s very similar in looks to the 550D, but adds an articulated ...

Fairly inexpensive, Great quality photos, Easy to learn, Extra components are easy to add on, Pretty light weight camera
Changing modes can be slow, Auto focus is slow, Battery life does not last more than a couple of hours, Shutter speed can be affected by changing lenses, Exposure on photos
the camera is well suited for any type of photography, whether it be still photos or action shots, and its few problems are out weighed by the quality of camera you get for such an inexpensive price. Basically all you need is to find something you enjoy...
