Feature Guide - a first for EOS cameras
---------------------------------------
To get the best out of any digital SLR, an understanding of the
camera’s features and technologies is essential. With the EOS
600D’s new Feature Guide, newcomers to the DSLR world are given a
brief explanation of what each feature does and how one might
best use it. For example, the ‘Aperture priority AE’ feature is
explained on the camera’s LCD screen saying “Adjust aperture to
blur background (subjects stand out) or keep foreground and
background in focus”. Once any feature is selected, the camera
also provides onscreen help with step-by-step instructions as
well as useful hints and tips.

Powerful resolution and low light performance
---------------------------------------------
The EOS 600D's 18 Megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor performs
outstandingly in low light and produces images with incredibly
low noise. Canon's DIGIC 4 processor works alongside the sensor
to deliver 14-bit image processing, for smooth gradations and
natural looking colours, as well as split-second start-up times
and near-instant image review after shooting. DIGIC 4's advanced
Noise Reduction when shooting at higher ISO speeds enables the
EOS 600D to offer a high ISO range of up to 6400 - expandable to
12800 - so you can shoot in low light without the need for flash.
With continuous shooting up to 3.7 frames per second in bursts of
up to 34 JPEGs or 6 RAW files it is easy to capture dramatic
action s. It captures enough detail to enable you to make
ultra-large prints or crop sections from pictures and still
maintain the highest quality, as well as get creative with your
image processing.
The 9-point AF system, 63 zone dual-layer light meter and 3.7fps
shooting means you’ll always get the perfect .

Focusing made easy
------------------
A wide-area Auto Focus (AF) system uses nine separate focusing
points to lock onto subjects fast and makes it easy to get the
you want. As well as Manual Focus there are three auto-focus
modes to choose from: One- AF, ideal for static subjects such
as portraits and landscapes AI Servo, great for moving subjects
and keeps following the subject with predictive tracking until
you take the and AI Focus, which switches from One to
Servo when movement is detected. The centre, cross-type focus
point operates flawlessly in lower-light and lower-contrast
settings.
iFCL light metering for better results in difficult lighting
situations
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To complement the 9-point AF system, the EOS 600D features a 63
zone dual-layer sensor. By taking into account the colour and
luminosity surrounding chosen AF points, this system delivers an
incredible level of accuracy for better results even in difficult
lighting situations. Since the metering sensor has a colour
measurement function, exposure errors and focus errors caused by
different light sources are minimised; the EOS 600D gives stable
exposure from to in situations where light changes,
such as a theatre or concert hall. This makes the EOS 600D ideal
for scenes with extreme difference in brightness; the camera
balances exposure of the main subject at the background, and
exposures are not overly influenced by bright areas in the .
Live View Function
------------------
Live View is a real-time visual feed, which enables you to view
your subjects directly on the LCD monitor, a great help when
shooting from awkward angles. It's easy to magnify any part of
the scene 5x or 10x for precise manual focus. You can even choose
a grid overlay, perfect for keeping vertical or horizontal lines
straight in your composition. Live View Function can be used
remotely via a computer through a USB connection and the included
EOS Utility software.
The different modes allow you to control the look and feel of
your images

Unlock your creativity
----------------------
The EOS 600D has five Creative Modes to explore: Av mode
automatically sets the shutter speed, but allows you to control
depth of field by letting you choose the aperture. By setting the
extent to which the lens opens ('aperture'), you can control the
portion of a scene that appears sharp in the image ('depth of
field'). A larger aperture will provide a shallow depth of field
(sharp in the foreground with a blurred background) whereas a
smaller aperture will give a sharp picture throughout.
Tv mode automatically sets the aperture and you select the
shutter speed. This enables you to change the appearance of
motion in your s.
In Program Mode both the aperture and shutter speed are
controlled by the camera but you can select other settings: with
Drive Mode you can select from Single , Continuous Shooting
or Self-timer; Metering Mode allows you to specify the area of
the image you wish the camera to use to calculate exposure; White
Balance setting means you can determine what the camera reads as
white to allow for your specific lighting conditions and Flash
Mode gives you control over your flash settings.
Manual Mode allows you to control both aperture and shutter speed
so you have total creative freedom with your s - great for
difficult lighting situations or capturing subjects with
different effects.
A-DEP Mode automatically sets your depth of field so you can be
sure to capture as much or as little of the scene as you wish in
focus.
All the Creative Modes allow you to change your ISO speed. This
is the measure of the sensor's sensitivity to light. Altering it
allows you to modify the exposure accordingly and gives you more
freedom to be creative with your s in different lighting
conditions.
For those times when you prefer to concentrate on great
composition the EOS 600D also offers several Basic Modes, which
control all the settings. These include; Full Auto, which allows
you to use the camera to 'point and shoot'; Portrait, which
ensures the background is out of focus and the foreground is pin
sharp; Landscape, which sets a longer exposure and a smaller
aperture to capture both the foreground and background in focus;
Close-up which allows you to focus on very close objects; Sports,
which uses a fast shutter speed to freeze action; and Night
Portrait, which increases the ISO to make the camera more
sensitive to light. You can also prevent the built-in flash from
popping up using the Flash Off setting (for shooting in Museums
and galleries).
Effortless operation
--------------------
The EOS 600D’s 3” Vari-Angle LCD screen not only flips 175° and
rotates 270° - it also has an incredible 1,040,000 dot resolution
and 3:2 aspect ratio, offering incredible flexibility of shooting
without compromising on quality. So whether you’re shooting
across a crowd or from ground-level, you’ll capture the scene
perfectly every time. Plus, the EOS 600D’s anti-reflective,
water-repellent coating makes for easy viewing in bright light
and from a variety of angles.
Choose your style
-----------------
The EOS 600D allows you to change the look of your images by
customising Picture Style settings for colour, saturation,
sharpness and contrast, either in-camera or later with Canon's
comprehensive software suite supplied. Six preset Picture Styles
include Portrait, which provides a sharp and crisp image with
nice skin tones Landscape, which emphasizes vivid blues and
greens and Monochrome to give you stunning black and white
images. Canon also offers additional downloadable 'Picture Style
Files' that can be installed into your camera for even more
imaging options at your fingertips.
Professional Software
---------------------
The EOS 600D allows you to shoot in RAW format and the Digital
Photo Professional software which comes free with it enables
high-speed RAW image processing, fast previewing for real-time
image adjustment and support for sRGB, Adobe RGB and Wide Gamut
RGB colour spaces. Because it is CMS (Colour Management System)
compatible, Digital Photo Professional allows for easy image
layout and printing in Adobe RGB in conjunction with
Easy-PhotoPrint and PictBridge printers.
Power in your hands
-------------------
Canon's latest generation of DIGIC processor, the DIGIC 4, is the
brain of the camera and is responsible for the superb
responsiveness of all EOS models. Faster and more powerful than
its predecessor, the DIGIC 4 processor gives exceptional
performance and low noise at higher ISO speeds. When shooting in
darker conditions, even if you are pushing the ISO to the limit,
DIGIC processing applies sophisticated Noise Reduction algorithms
- helping to eliminate graininess and preserve detail. The speed
of DIGIC also means less processing time for longer battery life
and faster start-up times.
With over 60 Canon lenses to choose from you'll never be short of
creative options.

EF & EF-S Lenses
--------------------
Over 70 years of experience give Canon an inherent advantage when
it comes to lens manufacture. EOS digital SLRs are backed up by
the world's most comprehensive system of interchangeable lenses.
From the 8-15mm ultra wide angle to 800mm super telephoto, the
60+ lenses in the EF series cover all possible shooting
requirements.
Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise and
micron-precision engineering to deliver unprecedented performance
in all facets of the photographic process. Special optical
technologies, such as aspherical, ultra-low dispersion, or
fluorite elements are featured in the universally accled L
Series lenses. Canon's Optical Image Stabiliser technology is
also featured in selected lenses to minimise the effect of camera
shake.
Extend your lighting capabilities
---------------------------------
Mastering flash photography can take a lifetime but Canon's
extensive range of Speedlites, can make it simple to get great
results. These flash head units can be used on or off camera to
open up a range of creative possibilities. You can use them in
situations where there would otherwise not be enough light or as
a fill-in flash to change your daylight pictures dramatically.
The EOS 600D comes with an Easy Wireless Flash Shooting mode
allowing the user to simply turn on the built-in wireless
Speedlite transmitter, place the wireless compatible Speedlites
around a scene and start shooting – reducing the complexity of
the set-up. The EOS 600D is only the third Canon EOS to feature a
built-in wireless Speedlite transmitter, with the 7D and 60D
being the other two.
The Speedlite range is compatible with all EOS cameras and
includes a choice of four standard models and two models for
spet macro use.
EOS Integrated Cleaning Systems
-------------------------------
For consistently pristine results, a complete dust prevention and
cleaning system works to keep the EOS 600D's sensor spotless. A
combination of technologies reduces, repels and removes dust,
including a Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit that shakes dust from the
sensor with each power-on.

Review
------
From dpreview.com:
Ever since Canon introduced its original 'Digital Rebel' back in
August 2003 - famously the first 'affordable' digital SLR - the
company has continually developed and refined its entry-level
line with ever-more-frequent releases, adding in more and more
features in the process. So true to form, almost precisely a year
to the day after the advent of the EOS Rebel T2i / 550D Canon
launched its next model, predictably named the EOS Rebel T3i /
600D. As usual the 550D remains in Canon's range at a lower price
point, with the EOS 1100D slotting in beneath it to round off the
company's offerings to entry-level SLR users.
The new kid on the block can most succinctly be described as a
550D with an articulated screen, that also incorporates many of
the beginner-friendly features we first saw on the more
enthusiast-orientated EOS 60D. Perhaps most notable of these is
'Basic+', a simple, results-orientated approach to image
adjustments in the scene-based exposure modes, that allows the
user to change the look of their images and control background
blur without needing to know anything technical about how this
all works. The 600D also gains multi-aspect ratio shooting (in
live view) plus the 60D's 'Creative Filters', a range of effects
than can be applied to images after shooting, including toy
camera, fisheye and fake-miniature looks. Additionally it can now
wirelessly control off-camera flashes, including the Speedlite
320EX and 270EX II announced alongside it.
The fully-automatic 'green square' exposure mode has also been
updated to 'Scene Intelligent Auto', with a new 'A+' icon on the
mode dial to match. According to Canon, this mode (as its name
might suggest) now analyses the scene in front of the camera and
sets its exposure and image-processing parameters accordingly,
and even tweaks the colour output to match. Continuing the
'beginner-friendly' theme, the camera now also incorporates a
'Feature Guide', that displays short explanations of what each
function does on the screen to help beginners learn how things
work.
There's an intriguing 'Video Snap' movie mode too, that's
borrowed from Canon's camcorder range. This is based on the idea
that movies are often more interesting when stitched together
from a number of short 'takes', rather than one long continuous
clip. It therefore limits movie to short snippets of 2,
4 or 8 seconds, then plays them back sequentially as a composite
movie, with the option of adding a soundtrack to help tie them
together. This, in effect, allows to you produce complex,
multi-take movies without having to resort to computer editing.
What hasn't changed at all, though, is the camera's core
specification, making the 600D the first camera in the line that
hasn't gained a higher resolution sensor or new processor. So
Canon's tried-and-trusted 18MP APS-C CMOS sensor is still in
place, along with its sensitivity range of ISO 100-6400
(expandable to 12800) and 3.9fps continuous shooting. Likewise
the 9-point autofocus and 63 zone metering systems are unchanged.
This means that the 600D is unlikely to bring any surprises in
terms of image quality.
On the movie front the camera retains its predecessor's approach
too, offering full HD via a dedicated position on the
camera's mode dial, with full manual control available for those
who want it. There's a new digital zoom function, offering 3 -
10x magnification, and the 600D also has sound level
control built-in, with a stereo sound meter to help judge the
right setting.
Put this all together, and it's clear that the 600D is an
extremely well-featured little camera that's well beyond the
traditional stripped-down 'entry level' fare, and indeed gives
little away in terms of features compared to the EOS 60D (the
differences are mainly in terms of ergonomics and handling). It's
also clearly ing to make life as easy as possible for SLR
newcomers to jump onboard and start experimenting with creative
controls, while offering plenty of room to learn and develop
their skills. But there's an awful lot of competition in this
market space at the moment, and the 600D will have its work cut
out to stand apart from the crowd and tempt potential buyers away
from the small, sleek and lightweight mirrorless models that will
sit alongside it on the dealers' shelves. Read on to find out how
well it fares in this competitive market.

Revised kit lens - Canon EF-S 18-55mm F3.6-5.6 IS II
The 600D gets a 'new' kit lens, the EF-S 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS II.
According to Canon this is identical in specification to the
previous version, and features exactly the same optics and IS
system: it simply has a revised external design. The visible
changes suggest a paring down of production costs, for example
the 'white square' alignment mark for ing the lens is now
simply painted on, rather than moulded. The camera will also come
in a kit with the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens.
Canon EOS 600D vs EOS 550D: what's changed
Once again the EOS 600D doesn't officially replace the 550D, but
instead slips comfortably into the range between it and the more
enthusiast-orientated 60D. The two cameras look near-identical
from the front - the 600D is just a fraction taller and wider,
due mainly to the swivel-and-tilt screen, and it's a fraction
heavier too (by about 40g / 1.4 oz). It's also now got a more
obvious grip area for your left hand below the model badge.
Naturally, though, that articulated LCD results in more
substantial changes on the back of the camera. The unit is hinged
from the side, in signature Canon fashion, and takes up more
space than before. So while the rear layout stays the same as the
550D,the 4-way controller's a little smaller and some buttons
have moved across to the right. This in turn impinges slightly
into the rear grip area, so Canon has created a highly sculpted
channel to guide your thumb away from accidental button presses,
and help provide a positive grasp on the camera. Note too that
there's no space any more for the sensor below the eyepiece that
the 550D uses to turn its display on and off.
One less easy-to-spot change is that the functions of the 550D's
'DISP' button have been divided up. The 600D now has an 'INFO'
button in its position, which is used to cycle through the
various information display options. There's now a separate
button on the top-plate labelled 'DISP', which simply turns the
screen on and off, effectively taking over the function of the
550D's eye sensor.
This top-down view reveals that the 600D is also a bit deeper,
front-to-back than its predecessor, again due mainly to the
swivel screen. This adds about 3mm to the depth of the grip,
which may not sound like much but improves the handling to a
surprising degree. The new top plate 'DISP' button can also be
clearly seen here.
