TheCanon EOS 600Dis an 18.0megapixeldigital single-lens reflex camera,released byCanonon 7 February 2011.[1]It is known as theEOS Kiss X5in Japan and theEOS Rebel T3iin America. The 600D is the secondCanon EOScamera with an articulating LCD screen and supersedes the550D,although the earlier model was not discontinued until June 2012, when the successor of the 600D, the650D,was announced.
Feature list
[edit]- 18.0 effectivemegapixelAPS-CCMOS sensor
- Full HD1080pvideo recording at24/25/30frame/s
- HD 720p video recording at 50/60 frame/s
- 3–10× Digital Zoom in video recording (available only in 1080p).
- One reviewer concluded that this feature takes a 1920×1080 crop from the middle of the sensor frame for the "3×" zoom, but was unable to confirm this with Canon.[2]This feature has not been included in any subsequent models of the Rebel line, or in theEOS Mmirrorless camera (although in that model, it can be implemented withMagic Lanternopen source software), but returned with the 2013 release of theEOS 70D.

Video
[edit]As with manyDSLRs(and unlike theSLT cameras), the 600D lacks continuous auto-focus while filming video. To keep a moving subject in focus the user must either trigger the auto-focus (as when shooting stills), or track the subject's motion manually.
Successor
[edit]The successor of Canon EOS 600D was the Canon EOS 650D, equipped with a newly developed Hybrid CMOS sensor that enabled full-time AF during video and live-view mode, and had a multi-touch vari-angle display for one-touch shooting. The DIGIC V image processor gave 5 fps of continuous shooting speed and enabled the capture of HDR images with just one click of the shutter button. The Canon 650D also came with a multi-frame NR mode and Handheld Night Scene mode. DPReview praised its innovative touchscreen, but also pointed out that with regard to auto-focussing in live view mode the 650D was "still far behind the better mirrorless models we have seen from the likes of Panasonic and Olympus as well as rival Nikon's 1 series".[4]
