600D is one of the budget DSLRs that has just been announced by Canon. It looks exactly the same. It performs exactly the same. And, it feels exactly the same. And the price ain't cheap - Canon says the price is around RM2,500. Its not that much more expensive than the Canon 550D which is also another great alternative for beginners.

| Canon 550D - ignore those gold trims, they're originally white |
 |
| Canon 600D - not much different to the 550D |
Seeing the specs sheets, there really isn't that much difference between the 550D and its successor, the 600D.
Similarities
- 18 megapixel CMOS sensor
- DiGiC 4 processor
- ISO range of 100-6,400(expendable to 12,800)
- Burst rate of 3.7 frames per second
- Supports SD, SDHC, SDXC format cards
- Full HD 1080p movie recording
Differences
- Minor movie recording tweaks
- Tilt-and-swivel screen
Final impressions...
The 600D is like a baby 60D copying most of its features. Canon's moving to the video camera side, focusing more on video but also providing that awesome 18 megapixel shooting experience.
Would I buy it?
No. I'd save up for lenses and other accessories. HD recording is a nice feature to have. But seeing that I'm a photographer and not a videographer, I wouldn't want to buy a camera which I won't use. The 550D has proved to be a remarkable budget DSLR. As for the 600D, it might be a worthy successor. I see no reason why current 550D users should upgrade unless they really want those video tweaks Canon just added.
