Canon announced the new T3i / 600D today. Now it’s possible to zoom 10x into the picture without loss of resolution in video mode. That’s a great feature! Sadly that’s the only new video function compared to the Canon T2i / 550D. It has also a flipable display at the back of the camera.
Here is the link to the full press release.
Canon EOS 600D features:
- 18-megapixel CMOS sensor
- Scene Intelligent Auto mode
- Full-HD EOS Movie
- On-screen Feature Guide
- 3.7fps continuous shooting
- Wide-area 9-point AF
- 1,040k-dot vari-angle 7.7cm (3.0”) screen
- Basic+ and Creative Filters
- Built-in wireless flash control
Fortunately I am not finding myself regretting my 550D purchase
even if the 600D has a flippable LCD screen.
the other differences compared to the 550d are with the built in wireless flash control,creative filters and screen resolution regardless i still ordered a 7d
Hi Sebastian,
Do you know any details about the ability to “zoom 10x into the picture without loss of resolution in video mode?”
This sounds like a killer feature, and a solution to line/pixel skipping and moire, ie. all the problems with HDSLRs converting a 5k image into 2k video.
It reminds me of using a 35mm lens adaptor on a video camera: I eventually realized I could zoom in on the ground glass without losing any quality. Reduced field of view is an new issue, but there are always tradeoffs.
I want to know more about this.
