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.
Useful fold-out screen; numerous video features; plenty of on-board help and creative tools
Run-of-the-mill design; plasticky feel
The Canon EOS 600D might not be the swankiest camera in the world but it's a well-balanced, competitively priced digital SLR with a knack for making expert photography highly accessible....
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...
