The EOS 600D sits at the top of Canon's entry-level range but includes several features from the 'pro-sumer' models. Positioned between the popular EOS 550D and EOS 60D, the keenly-priced 600D has the same 18 megapixel CMOS sensor as these cameras and the same DIGIC 4 image processor.

You want a high-resolution DSLR camera that can record both still pictures and Full HD video clips; You want a camera with a straightforward user interface plus easy-to-use automated shooting modes and user-adjustable controls; You want a DSLR with a built-in auto flash plus a useful flash modes and

There's no getting away from the fact that the Canon EOS 600D has inherited a lot from existing models in the Canon line-up, primarily the 550D and to a lesser extent, the 60D. In essence, the EOS 600D is a 550D with the 60D's vari-angle screen, with very little in the way of innovation.

It's time to really shake off the winter blahs and take some photos and video with the new Canon T3i DSLR. Is it worth the trip outdoors? We charge the battery and find out in our full review below, so read on.

Fine 18-megapixel images; Excellent 3-inch vari-angle LCD; Full HD video at 30 fps; 3.7 fps at full resolution

Tends to run warm indoors; Video is good but focusing is cumbersome; No burst mode in A+ auto

I am not a camera expert, but rather, I'm a busy mom who likes to take pictures and who adores my subjects. This, then, is a review from a mom/amateur's point of view. MY GOALS/EXPECTATIONS: I have always been a photo fiend, taking my camera everywhere and pulling it out at any opportunity.

The Canon EOS 600D is more than the "550D with vari-angle screen" it may at first appear to be. It's really the built-in wireless flash commander that pushes the camera into new and more advanced territory.

Detailed vari-angle screen; wireless flash control

Plasticy build quality; slow AF in live view; Raw continuous shooting

Formally announced on February 7 and available in early March 2011, the Canon EOS Rebel T3i (henceforth T3i) becomes the company's flagship entry-level model and is accompanied to market by a budget-priced T3 variant as well.

Movable monitor; Excellent image and color quality; Excellent high ISO noise performance for a cropped sensor; Good video image quality

Slow AF acquisition time in video and Live View; No continuous AF in video mode; Low battery life in Live View shooting

Canon's EOS 600D - or Rebel T3i as it's known in North America - is the company's latest upper entry-level DSLR. Announced in February 2011, it's numerically the successor to the EOS 550D / T2i, although the older model is expected to remain on-sale at a lower price point.

High resolution 18 Megapixel stills; Articulated screen with superb 1040k / 3:2 panel; HD video at multiple fps with mic input and adjustable levels; Wireless flash control; Neat Digital Zoom and Video Snapshot features

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

I bought my very first DSLR, the Canon EOS Rebel T3i a little less than a month ago and I absolutely adore it! It is easy to use. I took it home and did everything myself! I love it! Now I just need for the rain to go away so that I can go out and take more pictures! I love my Canon Rebel T3i!!

Easy to learn; brilliant pictures for an affordable price

Cannot think of one single weakness

April 5th. The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6G IS telephoto zoom is designed to be the ideal complement to the standard EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II wide-angle zoom lens, the same lens that is sold in a kit with Canon SLR camera's like the new Rebel T3 and Rebel T3i.

The Canon EOS 600D is the latest in a line of cameras that has dominated the consumer SLR market since its inception in 2003. Its predecessor, the 550D, introduced an 18-megapixel sensor, an improved metering system and significant improvements to video capture.
