The editors didn't like
Images on the soft side
And kit lenses only make matters worse
Redeye a problem
No way to remove it in playback mode
Very slow contrast detect autofocus in live view
Unremarkable continuous shooting mode
No fulltime autofocus in movie mode
Below average battery life
Body gets scratched very easily
Dynamic range is not up to par with the best APS-C sensors
No microfocus adjustment
Very warm auto white balance indoors
Sluggish startup and mode switching
Only center AF point is cross-type
While the Canon 60D has all nine cross-type (for those ...
Extremely slow Live View mode
Not as fast as the T2i
Images aren't as sharp
Lacks live creative filters
Live view AF is slow
Priced very close to the EOS 60D
Some physical controls (such as Display button) oddly placed
Lack of single button movie recording
Auto White Balance struggles in most indoor lighting conditions--a traditional Canon weakness
If you shoot both still and video
The T3i's controls can be frustrating to operate
And it's not terribly fast for burst shooting sports
Kids
Or pets
Tends to run warm indoors
Video is good but focusing is cumbersome
No burst mode in A+ auto
Obtuse user interface
Sluggish AF during Live View and video recording
Modest 3.7fps shooting and small RAW buffer
Average 9-point AF system and viewfinder
Still no continuous AF for movies
Models on either side may be better for some photographers.
Abstract: The two new Canon EOS digital rebel models just announced (02/11) almost share a name - T3 and T3i - though they occupy opposite ends of the entry level (Rebel) DSLR spectrum. The Canon EOS Digital Rebel T3i now sits on top of the pack as the most a...
Abstract: A year ago, Canon had T2i which was a sub $1,000 dSLR which could capture 1080p videos and now the company is out with its successor, the Canon T3i. It is a new entry level dSLR from this company and was announced on Monday. The manufacturer also annou...
Abstract: The EOS 600D continues the legacy of easy operation and high functionality. TIPA members were very impressed with the features such as the 18.0 Megapixel CMOS image sensor, full HD video recording, Live View shooting, Wireless flash photography and a ...
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...
Overall strong image quality, Wireless flash capabilities, Articulated LCD, Full HD video recording, Plenty of features for beginners to grow
Meagre burst rate, Not built for those with large hands
It's far from revolutionary, but the Canon EOS 600D is a well specified camera that's ideal for those wanting to get creative and elevate their photography to the next level. The various changes bestowed upon the EOS 600D make a little more sense here th...
The Canon EOS 600D is a superb camera, but a botched attempt to appeal to HD video buffs mars the appeal. Here's our review. ...

Like: 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
Dislike: Auto focus in live view is frustratingly lethargic
Abstract: Updates to Canon’s popular range of consumer-level digital SLRs always make waves, and the new EOS 600D is no exception. Slotting in at the top end of Canon’s entry-level line-up, it ‘makes capturing exciting, fun and creative images easier than ever’,...
Flipout, 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.
Stills photographers might find it too similar to the 550D. No selectable RAW sizes
This is a superb example of a consumer-level digital SLR that gets its video implementation right first time. We're sure that all users, regardless of skill level or interest in videography or stills photography, will appreciate it....
