Canon’s latest mid-range DSLR camera for enthusiasts is finally here, in India after being launched in international markets recently. Like the previous update, where the lower-end EOS 500D model was launched, there is bound to be a higher-end EOS 650D model. Like most of the DSLRs today, the 3-inch screen on this new DSLR can be tilted.

The 600D is finally here, but where is the EOS 650D?

The resolution of the screen now matches the EOS 550D, as well. Canon has used a larger sensor like the one on the previous EOS 550D model. There have been additions to the white balance and auto exposure bracketing, which should give more control to the user. The Liveview feature makes focusing and shooting much simpler than using the eyepiece. The Canon EOS 600D body is priced at Rs. 46,990.

Some of the specifications of the Canon EOS 600D are mentioned below:

Sensor resolution: 18 MP (5184 x 3456)
Image types supported: JPEG, RAW, RAW+JPEG
Autofocus: 9 points
Burst speed: 3.7 fps
Video recording: 1920 x 1080 at 29.97 fps
Screen size: 3-inch
Dimensions: 133.1 x 99.5 x 79.7 mm
Weight: 515 g (body only)
