Canon EOS 600D + 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II
The 600D is Canon's follow-up to the best-selling 550D, which is likely to bow out of the market in the coming months. However, with the exception of the LCD swivel screen, the updates brought to this new model...
Good picture quality; High-quality swivel LCD screen; Fully functional Live View viewfinder (image preview and settings; Good 18-55 mm IS II kit lens supplied; Good software package included / Excellent battery life
Optical viewfinder a bit narrow; Autofocus in Live View and video too slow for use out and about; Noisy shutter release; No video mode button / No presence detection to switch off the LCD; More custom controls would be nice
