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.
Excellent sensor and great high ISO quality, articulating LCD screen is bright and detailed, some smart improvements from the EOS 550D
Requires menu-surfing to find some options, the control layout isn't as streamlined as we think it could be
Canon's EOS 600D is one of the cheaper digital SLR cameras the company offers -- it's a slight drop in price from the slightly superior 60D -- but it's still got a lot of the technology from more expensive models. It's able to take excellent quality photo...
Abstract: Slightly larger and heavier than the EOS 550D, the new model offers many of the same features but provides an adjustable monitor and the same (slightly simpler) user interface as the EOS 1100D's. As you can see in the table below, the main features of Can...
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 ...

Compact, lightweight, easier to use than ever; angle-adjustable LCD and large resolution are a boon for those who want more from their photography
Occasional clipped highlights; integral mic picks up adjustment noise
Again, images could be sharper from the supplied 18-55mm kit lens – which is a way of saying that despite the resolution hike we were hard pressed to notice a difference – but this is a minor grumble. Creative filters can be applied to captured images in-...
The Canon EOS 600D is more of a tweaked EOS 550D than a completely new model, and despite what Canon has said it is really a replacement for the older model. However, it should also be thought of as a cut-down version of the EOS 60D. When the new camera i...
If you’ve been using Canon kit for a few years and are looking to replace an entry-level DSLR with something more up-to-date, the EOS 600D is an excellent halfway house between a low-spec DSLR and a semi-professional model such as the EOS 60D or EOS 7...
Overall the Canon EOS 600D scores above the average model; however, it’s not without its flaws. Look past these, though, and you’ve got a great entry-level DSLROverall Our provides the latest photography news, reviews, previews, features and tecnique...
