The EOS 600D is an excellent workmanship, stable and quality product. Convinced me (unlike many other cameras in the DSLR segment) but especially the excellent handling. Taking on her, and she immediately merges with the hand of the photographer. All important control panels are no dislocations in the reach and you can call up the desired functions in seconds. This is especially important if you sometimes just want to quickly change the ISO value, wants to hire another focus point, want to have the image is underexposed, one or two screens (for blue sky), would thereby fold out the internal flash (for more light in the face of the portrayed throwing) and many other things.
Operation is quickly transferred to the cerebellum and inside out as you press buttons, rotate the control dial and adjusts the camera to the desired configuration. The EOS reacts without delays with absolute reliability and you have no longer control everything on the excellent display.
In combination with the individual menu settings are activated in less than two seconds, the mirror lockup one, limits the maximum ISO value, turns the compact flash (I use a Metz MB 58 AF-2 Canon flash unit) by one stop up and turns off the beep sound for the focus of (the interferes with animal images and leads the human model often used to cramp).
I know of no cameras, which can be operated as intuitive and fast, like a Canon. I tested Nikon, Panasonic Lumix und Sony Alphas, no camera is so easy to handle and yet so (semi-) professional, as this EOS, which I then also keep and have never regretted.
The EOS is to ISO 1600 virtually noise-free, and up to ISO 6,400 noise so that 4 German WIN & MAC, and the plug-in Dfine 2.0 can create noise-free images with post-processing on Mac with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom yet. Combined with a Canon EF 50mm 1: 1.8 II lens (52mm filter thread) with fixed focal length 50mm at f 1.8 (or at 4.0, where the lens reaches its maximum optical performance, not only at f 9, like many others Lenses in the normal range), can be achieved even excellent available light photos without using a flash, even under difficult conditions.
18 megapixels is a lot, in my opinion, no one more than 10 to 12 megapixels needs, because this resolution is already achieved by hardly an objective and even that is for monitors, Web and A3 prints enough. More resolution makes only with special lenses and magnifications noticeable, for example, with my Sigma 120-400 mm OS HSM Lens F4,5-5,6 DG (77 mm filter thread) for Nikon or the Canon EF 70-200mm 1.: 4L USM lens (non-image stabilized 67 mm filter thread).
Incidentally, the jump to the semi-professional cameras of double-digit number EOS series with the appearance of the 600D has become a very small bouncer. I need to think long, where the advantage of a Canon EOS 60D Digital SLR camera would offer (18 megapixels, Live View, Full HD Movie) housing me. Can you think of what?
Absolute solicitation!
