Ever since Canon introduced its original ‘Digital Rebel’ back in August 2003 – famously the first ‘affordable’ digital SLR – the company has continually developed and refined its entry-level line with ever-more-frequent releases, adding in more and more features in the process. So true to form, almost precisely a year to the day after the launch of the Canon EOS Rebel T2i / 550D comes the next model, predictably named the Rebel T3i / EOS 600D. As usual the 550D remains in Canon’s range at a lower price point, with the newly-announced EOS 1100D slotting in beneath it to round off the company’s offerings to entry-level SLR users.
The new kid on the block can most succinctly be described as a 550D with an articulated screen, that also incorporates many of the beginner-friendly features we first saw on the more enthusiast-orientated EOS 60D. Perhaps most notable of these is ‘Basic+’, a simple, results-orientated approach to image adjustments in the scene-based’ exposure modes that allows the user to change the look of their images and control background blur without needing to know anything technical about how this all works. The 600D also gains multi-aspect ratio shooting plus the 60D’s ‘Creative Filters’, a range of effects than can be applied to images after shooting, including toy camera, fisheye and fake-miniature looks. Additionally it can now wirelessly control off-camera flashes, including the Speedlite 320EX and 270EX II announced alongside it.
The fully-automatic ‘green square’ exposure mode has also been updated to ‘Scene Intelligent Auto’, with a new ‘A+‘ icon on the mode dial to match. According to Canon, this mode (as its name might suggest) now analyses the scene in front of the camera and sets its exposure and image-processing parameters accordingly, and even tweaks the colour output to match. Continuing the ‘beginner-friendly’ theme, the camera now also incorporates a ‘Feature Guide’, that displays short explanations of what each function does on the screen to help beginners learn how things work.
The Canon 600D will be available in black, and pricing and availability will be announced a month before ship date.
Meantime, Aunsoft Studio announced that both Aunsoft Video Converter for Mac and iMedia Converter for Mac will support the AVCHD formats of Canon 600D on Mac.
