Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 вер 2024
- You wanted to know which one is the better choice - the Canon 600D(bit.ly/Cano600D) or the 60D?(bit.ly/Cano60D) Well, here's our look at both cameras to try and help you decide. We take a look at how they compare photographically - is there a difference in image quality and noise? What is the 3-10x crop mode like for video on the 600D? Watch the video to find out.
PLUS: Bonus material at the end of the video - the video we removed last weekend. I.E. the video that people complained about.

when Kai demostrated the crop mode for video from far away some guy was walking and realised he was in the shot and ran for his life :) LOL!!!!!!!! that was hilarios!!!!!!!!!!
The 600D is still a great camera. Looking foward to Fullframe though
That 3-10 crop sensor zoom is very neat indeed. I have a 60D for photos and a 600D for movies.
I have the 600d (canon t3i) and it works great to make videos. I have used that to make all of my videos
After the intro I was watching you taking you pictures and talking about some kind of museum for minutes.. not what I expected.
***** So?
Not saying I agree with people abusing expensive equipment but I think there is some benefit to seeing him beat up the cameras. I would much rather see him in his sponsored video drop a camera than myself! These videos tell me exactly how much water, heat and abuse my cameras/ lenses can take before getting destroyed. I know I push myself to my limits while shooting (standing over ledges, standing near water, taking it to the beach). He lets me know if I should be freaking out because my camera fell 3 feet or if it's going to be okay. Stop trolling people. It's not your stuff. Learn from it.
iambluetyler I hope you are referring to the ending when he is destroying kit lenses. Kit lenses are not worth using. When he dropped the camera, he dropped the prop camera. Apparently a lot of people fell for that.
***** that makes it even better! I definitely fell for that :)
+Hector Rodriguez kit lens are so good nowadays especially with panasonic and nikkn
5:50.... Run!! Run for your lives. This guy is going to shoot me down... HEEEELLLLLLPPPP!!!
I have a T3i, and use the 100-400mm L lens, it's worked perfectly for me, and the picture quality is amazing. Save the money, and get a nice lens.
great camera 600d..
u guys are funny...
if u dont need those lens give them to others beginners....
Is the AF in video mode better in 600d than in 6d? In 6d it's working only in manual focus. Just now I'm looking for some camera for video. is it worth to buy 600d if I already have 6d and 40d?
5:53 XD
minh cha that good huh? someone is wanting me to trade a 60d for my phone. he's offering a kit lens with it too. so your saying the camera is pretty good huh?
I just ordered my Canon 600D about 1 hour ago because I got a great deal on it that comes with a bag and 8GB sandisk....OMG, I can't wait to get my hands on it! I currently own an XS! The biggest reason on why I"m getting the Canon 600D is because it has good video since I need it for my UA-cam ! :)
These guys know how to turn up
@nightubble if you dont do sports/moving objects photography, go for the 600d. in the future when you upgrade, you will not want another APS-C sensor anymore.
WE ALL KNOW YOU DROPPED IT ON PURPOSE. HENCE THE NEW HACK.
IF YOU DROP YOUR CANON 600D-60D DOWN STAIRS IT WILL NOW SHOOT 4K!
IT WORKED!!! THANKS FOR THE TIP!
@busfullofchinks you might have a point. I live in the netherlands, and when I googled both cameras I found those prices. But price doesn't matter that much, it's just that the 600D is an entry level DSLR and the 60D is a professional one. I bought myself a 600D because I've just started photography and wanted an easy to use camera. So in that aspect they are very different camera's
That was a great Columbine reenactment.
I'd go with the 60D, only feature it doesn't have is the 3-10x crop. What it does have though which is not mentioned is a 10x crop but its only for low res 640 x 480
About the end part,
Wow
Apart from dropping, the other seem too intentional
Also it seems
I dont know
Not my style lel
I own both cameras. Outside of the couple weak points of the T3i's photography and the 60D having more options in the iso, shutter speed, continuous burst and white balance, they are identical (outside of size, buttons and batteries) the only difference there is in video is iso stops(T3i only has half the options as the 60d) and the 60d has iso high one at 12800 where i dont think the T3i does also the 60d has "K temp" white balance option.
5:53 oh shit !
So apart from the 8 more focus points, less shutter lag, 1/8000 shutter speed, faster fps, larger battery life, build quality and weather sealing. How exactly is the 600D better or even "near equal"?
Kai has used the Titanic joke before... What a hack.
I'm not "working" with neither of them, I'm a medical intern, I only shoot when I'm on holidays, and this is pretty much everything I need. But some photographers probably start with one of these. Or do you think everybody begins with a $5000 full frame SLR?
thankyou
You can get the canon rebel t3i with lens kit on www.digilg.com/canonrebelt3i
for anyone looking.
This is a fantastic camera, and a great first DSLR. I say that because if it is your first, you will not be comparing the control layout with your old XXD or XXXD, and that seems to be an issue with some. I get it on amazon: ##amzn.to/1c5b7js
Because by using the best glass possible, you eliminate the possibility of the lens effecting the over-all revue. Using the best lens, and especially by using the same lens, the variables you're left with are on the camera alone.
This is a waste of time. Not a helpful comparison really.
Morgan Murdock
lol
I had two T3i's for video. I just traded them in to get one 60D. Im not gonna go into detail, but after 6 months of use with the 600D, I would rather just have the one camera. Trust me, and spend the extra cash.
Nothing useful and helpful things on this video.
How can i get good audio quality with a 600d? Would you record seperately, or does the audio sound well if i combine a 600d with a rode videomic pro? (Have neither of those but don't want to buy before im sure about the audio)
they have mics on them
08:14
"As I say, TV doesn't lie..." LMAO
He was holding the REAL camera at his back at 08:00!!
@aliciabiatch Because he was just testing out the Digital Zoom feauture and plus it's easier to record with a monopod or tripod which allows for more stabability that he didn't have. Or maybe you were talking about the focusing. If you were talking about the focusing then that was because there is no auto focus feature during video like some of Nikon's entry level DSLRs so you have to manual focus.
60d is very affordable nowadays. As an owner of 600d it's tempting to find a dealer that would take in my current camera and get the 60d. If not for anything else, better ergonomics.
But it would be a sort of a half-step, upgrading from a 600D. Better to just keep shooting, I think.
Your right, but using an L lens avoids any doubt that the lens is the issue causing any sort of image distortion or noise.
I've set my sights on the 60D and I haven't seen it topped. I too want it for filmaking and with manual audio recording and all its other features, apart from not being a full frame camera, it surpasses its even more expensive counterparts. I am planning on getting one as my first DSLR as the price and bang for your buck cannot be beat in my opinion . I would highly recomend it. :)
@callmefantastic
It really depends too what degree of video production you are talking about.
If you wanted to shoot a short film, like something narrative, and were worried about being efficient during resets of scenes, etc. than the 60D might be worth the extra $100-150bux.
For one, the battery life is much longer.
And two, you have the 7D-like wheel near the shutter to quickly change settings...
like exposing for a Neutral picture style and then switching over to Technicolor's CineStyle.
I have the Canon EOS 60D, Grip Canon BG-E9, Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC OS HSM Macro, Tamron SP AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD, Canon 50mm f/1.8 II (only last photo), Raynox DCR-250 Macro, Flash Canon 430EX II, Professional tripod Fancier FT6906, Hoya 72mm Pro-1 Digital Circular Polarizing Slim Filter, Memory: Sandisk Extreme SDHC 16GB 30MB/s HD Video, Sandisk Extreme III SDHC 8GB 30MB/s, Tamrac 5606-R Pro 6 Black case and other accessories. And i am extremely pleased.Don`t need a L-lens.Great body!
Hello! Great review! I use Canon Sx530hs but i planning to buy a new camera. I'm thinking about Canon SX60hs. What do you think about this camera?
same man, i think ill go with the 600d. way better value imo. and the differences arent that significant. if i was really into photographing moving objects, id upgrade significantly, instead of a measly 2fps when shooting.
Thanks for making information entertaining as well! I appreciate it! Also, love your sense of humor and facial expressions. Looks like your just as comfortable in front of a camera as behind one.
@eveningniteshade You are right.
But don't call it a digital zoom then, call it crop zoom or whatever.
I reacted the way i did, because he called it a digital zoom, which is just zooming in on the pixels.
@aliciabiatch he's trying the DIGITAL ZOOM of the cam in this video. when the video mode is not using the digital zoom, it's lot better than 60D.
I've got the 600D and rented the 60D, and to be honest, because the 600D is lighter, smaller, thinner, and has a cooler shutter sound, I think that the 600D is a more fun camera but for a more serious photographer the 60D is a great choice.
I love this channel because of the fantastic reviews. But seriously, why would you waste lens like this?! Are you so sponsored that you can afford to burn kit lenses? How would Canon, Nikon and Sony etc feel?
No not yet, I've slowly moved away from SLR's and more onto HD Camcorders purely because i want to get into filming and at first it seemed like buying either of the canons would be good because of the ability to take amazing images and also the HD video but now it seems the camcorders have move to offer in terms of video quality and features.
well, it sometimes go like Pokemon version of Aardvark. It kinda changes it names into some countries, like in Malaysia, Rebel T3 is called 1100D, but in United States people called 1100D the Rebel T3. it's normal. i don't quite sure why...
you can't really compare cameras, which have a price difference like that. But I think
the 600D performs better for the cost. Like if you have one too :D
I think that the 600D is what most people are going for simply because it's a substantially cheap dare I say Entry level camera which a lot of people are using to start on. Myself included. however, it wouldn't surprise me if they then at least tried the 60D and fell in love with it.
Pretty decent review- a little long. But then I'm biased because I'm not that interested in the photo side... A few things: I'm sure if you put a batterygrip on the T3i -which most of us do- it would feel beefy enough and balance better. Furthermore: you seem to be photo guys- I would have liked to see a sharp video image taken by the cameraman! Focus on the host! And when trying the 10x zoom function, why didn't you use a tripod? That's the only way to take a good look at what it's capable of.
600D and use that extra 100 to go towards a lens if you're leaning more towards video. If you're more into sports photography. in that case i'd say the 60D.
"lets go up the apples and stairs. " i literally burst out laughing at that i love you guys.
Your videos are EXCELLENT! I love the way you incorporate your humor LOL....at the same time you are extremely informative and have helped me in making my camera purchase decision. Thumbs up!
My t3i/ 600d is amazing. Nuff said.
@Land3s3295 i own a 60D myself while my friend has a t3i and ive used both and say that i would rather use the 60D for 3 reasons 1) shaper autofocus, very important for sports and action shots. 2) the 60D shoots more frames per second at 5.6 fps 3) it as a photo DSLR is very good for photos and if u use an L lens feels much better then an L lens on a 60D but the best if you can get for sports is 1D or a 7D
They are not the same at all..
if you want to do video get the 60D, 29 minutes continues video shooting vs 13 minutes. The 60D got auto focus in video mode, the T3i doesnt..
no dude it does not have auto focus while video rec.
shanu khalifa I though the 60D is the same as the T4i and the T5i which the latest got AF in video mode..Also just learned that all Canon DSLRs are using a FAT32 system that limit the video files to 4gig or 12.89 minutes..Folks are countering that problem with Magic Lantern.
What about testing the lenses after putting them through that destruction? Perhaps with a few test photos?
thanx for the reply..i searched over the internet..it says canon doesn't provide any company seal for the sake of the retailers (returning and re-selling stuffs)..thats bad for the customers..
Good review highlighting the main differences and strong points of both cameras, 600D better for video and 60D better for photos. But what is that lens review all about, a counter to a few silly comments. I like your reviews very easy to understand and you actually show pictures and footage from the actual camera being reviewed. Keep them coming.
the video is 1 year and 3 month old, you should read the description. As for as the body, move up to 7D is great.
Rebel 600D buttons (especially White Balance) are much easier to access and use than on the 60D -- IMHO. The 60Ds top LED and buttons don't match the 5D,10-50D layout either which is just confusing. The 9 cross AF points seems to be the only thing good about the 60D.
I bought the D600 based on this review because i wanted the x10 video but you did not mention that the D60 had autofocus and the T3i did not and i wish i knew that before i purchased my T3i
Any chance that Canon will release a firmware update that includes video crop mode for the 60D? It's not that important, but I'd much rather have it than not. But I want a Camera that will take me from beginning, hobby to more intermediate, serious shoots (as I'm sure the 60D will).
If you're looking for a lens at a good price then the 50mm 1.8f ii is the best bargain of any lens out there for video.
60D is still a better camera photographically, built better and better controls on the exterior. I think its just a 50 buck price difference now, def worth it in my book
It's just his quirky sense of humor. I just got the 600d, and it's a great camera for the price. Lots of nice features and it takes good pictures up to 3200iso.
Did anyone notice in the beginning of the video, Kai leans on the glass when the label says 'Please For your own saftey, do not lean on the glass?' Lol
60D + Magic Lantern...best choise
why? ehats with the ML?
Better camera for the value. You coukd spend the extra money on glass. Ive never seen a situation where you need 1/8000th, my friend julian has a 60d and we see no MAJOR difference in battery life. But with the extra money left over from purchasing a 600d, one could buy a battery grip. You got me on the build quality part though.
Very informative!
Now are you release chock tests too :)???
My heart was broken when I saw your camera drop down the stairs!!!
Fortunatly it wasn't damage.
thing I hate about digitalrev, esp. kai. is that you dnt really use a kit lens. There are other ppl who just settle for the kit lens. how would we know if both camera really performs better than each other.? indeed lens is the veins of dslr, but what about ppl who are just settle for the kit lens.
about the bonus material, i was a bar for a live show of this band and some guy spilled beer on my 18-55 kit lens....still works fine!
Why on planet earth does the 1080p crop only available on the t3i!? The canon t4i, 60d,t5i, and I did some research on the new 70d and it doesn't look like it has it as well :-...(
@Xpert30 What about build quality, or ability to take better video in the 550 vs the 500 (30p vs ~20p @1080), or the swivel LCD on the 600D and 60D, or the chasis construction material, etc. etc. etc.
the video was filmed with the canon 600 d, that should answer your question. This video is based on photography alone.
This really is the Top Gear of digital photography.
Hi I want to know does the Canon T3i overheat like the T2i???
That is one bad thing about the T2i that no one is talking about, I even went to a website where a lot of professionals that are using Canon 7D is overheating.
I died a little at the end with the lens destruction.
The materials Canon uses for these 2 cameras are exactly the same - polycarbonate resin with glass fiber. The 60D battery doesn't last twice as longer, maybe 15 or 20% more. The 60D is both bigger and heavier, which is a disadvantage specialy when you're working 8 or 9 hours straight. Plus the difference between them, where I live, is €180 ($225), which is ridiculous.
Not sure what you're talking about. I'm not sure if it's where you live but on Amazon the price difference is only $100
So is the Canon 600d the same as the t3i? It is kind of confusing
Is it right that meanwhile the 60D has the same crop mode zoom as the 600D (by firmware update)? And if not, what About Magic Lantern. Does it bring the crop zoom to the 60D?
How? First of all, its about $400 more than what I've got the camera T3I for + the bigger features is that it has autofocus and touchscreen? I don't need those too. I will never use autofocus because I don't need it for the type of videos I'm going to be making and the touchscreen is not really the best since its their first time making something like that, so only later on they will have better touchscreen stuff and I compared same pictures taken by both and I actually like the T3I quality most
+DigitalRev TV why isn't this dude on the Gadget Show? Pure talent at what he does :D
@lebchiri Yes, but being that the SDCards are formatted with fat32 the maximum file size is 4gb, 12mins at 1080p. The camera will just create a new file.
"Oh you haven't got a strap on the camera and then you're holding it over railings and stuff, OH YOU MIGHT DROP IT !!!" XD
so, for filming skate and serious short films, I should go with the 600D?
Finally, A camera review that even I can understand. Thanks, I'm about to pull the trigger on the 6oD!!
that was probably just a model or broken ones that you may request one from the dealer or factory. you just see the camera roll down but you don't see it fell from his hands. just an easy video edition. :)
Question to anybody:
Why the differences in model number (600D/T3i) for essentially same camera? I know one is sold outside of the US. But are they the exact same? Are there any differences? The 600D is less expensive on the DigitalRevTV website than the T3i in US stores.
"Or perhaps you'd liked to wait for the 7D mark 2, which'll most likely be a flippy screen update" LOL
I can't believe you guys did that at the end! I mean, how could you?! What a terrible waste of beer.
@sgcoder 600d is the European name for the T3I in North America. No idea what the kiss x5 is.
I would agree that the 60D is in fact a better camera all round, but is it £300 - £400 better? I think not!
My T3i, which I bought new had an LCD screen protector if I am remembering correctly.
I own an old nikon d80,
I've decided to switch to canon, but im in a fix, whether to go for the 550d, or the 60d.
Ive seen the youtube video of it made by you, but, im still pretty confused. Im NOT into too much of sports or really fast action photography. More into, portraits and nature. I wont be needing the burst mode too much either. Will the 9 cross-type AF points make much of a difference? Or should i stick to the 550d and go for some good L glass?
Please reply! thank you!
@turfmono I think it was the 24-105mm L series lens.
hey there!!!
i just recently bought 650d from a well known online shop..but i keep getting this feeling that this camera has been used by somebody else before..i mean it doesnt appear fresh..and as there is no company seal, or screen guard or lens guard on new products, i am not quite sure if its fresh..any guess on how to find out if its used or new?? thanx!!!!!
Hi thanks for your video.
I have purchaed a 60D,however the lens18-55mm coming with the kit is not good for take still images. I noticed you are using a different one ,could you tell me what lens is that? I guess it is 28-105mm USM one for shot the photos. that is the one I am going to purchase.
the question is I am willing to upgrade to 6D a few month later. In your opinion,did this lens will going with the 6D body well?
actually the 60 D is also the better camera video wise - as it DOES HAVE manual AUDIO adjust ....contrary what Kai said (also he's usually 99.99% on point). Better body. 60 D is meant to be close to the 7D line, where as the 600 D (T3i) is more a hobby cam, wit h the Rebels, and not in the 60D category (several hundreds more expensive) - hence less in features, build and quality, but not by all that much. Question is 60 D VERSUS 7D, much closer subject !
@AJnsm touche, but zooming in 10x digital zoom is bad( see videos of it). But they have the same sensor.They both 'can' shoot in 5184 x 3456 and 1080p = 1920x1080
