The Canon EOS 600D is a great DSLR camera that beginners and intermediates can use. Powered by 14-bit DIGIC 4 image processor, the camera uses CMOS sensor with dimension of 22.3 x 14.9 mm. EOS 600D supports various aspect ratios like 3:2, 4:3, 16:9 and 1:1. Sensor Technology The camera sports a highly efficient and capable 18 MP sensor that comes with the APS-C Size. This translates to better photos due to the larger image sensor size. This also allows you to take different scenes that range from beautiful landscapes to even portrait images and close up shots. The 18 MP resolution that you get means that the images clicked with it can still be blown up to a decent size while retaining the clarity and detail. LCD Monitor The 3 inch wide Vari-Angle Clear View monitor is perfect for viewing your images after you have clicked them. The high quality monitor is handy for those pictures that you need to examine in greater detail when you do not have access to a computer immediately. The flexibility of the monitor is also such that you can use the monitor as a viewfinder for taking images from difficult angles. The camera is also capable of taking high quality HD videos in 24, 25 and 30 fps. Scene Intelligent Auto Mode One of the latest innovations from Canon is the Scene Intelligent Auto Mode in the camera. This mode is great for scenes that need to be photographed quickly without having the time to select the right set of settings manually to create a beautiful photo. The Auto Mode analyses all the elements of the scene before it and chooses the right set of settings to create a beautiful picture. This also means that you do not have to worry too much about manually setting it. There is also a Basic+ mode as well as a feature guide where you can learn in detail what each major feature of the camera does.
