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!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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.
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?
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!
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 TH-cam ! :)
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?
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"?
@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.
@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
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.
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
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!
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?
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
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. :)
Canon 600D is what i would choose because it is much cheaper and you are getting an amazing quality camera anyways :D I would only go for the 60D if i was a pro photographer
@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.
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).
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.
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?
Im looking at either of these cameras, Iv played and used DSLR's before but never owned one, and am looking at one with a twin len's kit. The len's are 18-55 IS & 55-250 IS. Compared to other canon len's how do thses rank? Are they good for pritty much anything? Or are they more like lower end len's?
Can you shoot good macro shots with the 60D? I think that i would buy the 60D because it's like more balanced with the quality. i mean. now i have an canon 1000D wich sucks butt.. but can u get really good macro/basic videos with good quality with the 60D?
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.
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 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
@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.
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...
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!!!!!
@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.
Hi I have a question. I am planning to buy an EOS 7D body and an EF 100mm f/2.8 L macro from your website. Items will be delivered to Melbourne. How long will it take and do I have to pay customs or GST for those items on top of the listed price?
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..
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.
I need to update my DSLR (Mines only picture capable lol Olympus e-410). What's the best MANUAL video capable DSLR? Looking to buy something for the filming side more than taking picture side. Any recommendations are welcomed.
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)
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 :-...(
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.
Hey kai my t3i keeps stoping automatically when videoing the internet says it's something to do with the SD card I'm using so I'm curious which SD card do you use ???
@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
@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.
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!!!!!!!!!!
That 3-10 crop sensor zoom is very neat indeed. I have a 60D for photos and a 600D for movies.
The 600D is still a great camera. Looking foward to Fullframe though
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?
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.
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
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?
These guys know how to turn up
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!
5:50.... Run!! Run for your lives. This guy is going to shoot me down... HEEEELLLLLLPPPP!!!
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!

That was a great Columbine reenactment.
@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.

great camera 600d..
u guys are funny...
if u dont need those lens give them to others beginners....

You can get the canon rebel t3i with lens kit on www.digilg.com/canonrebelt3i
for anyone looking.

About the end part,
Wow
Apart from dropping, the other seem too intentional
Also it seems
I dont know
Not my style lel
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?

Nothing useful and helpful things on this video.
Does the 600D with a maximum of 60fps video make a huge difference in slow-motion over the 60D with only 50fps max?
This is a waste of time. Not a helpful comparison really.
Morgan Murdock
lol
so, for filming skate and serious short films, I should go with the 600D?
would you say the 650D (t4i) is a great combination of the two?
Canon 600D is what i would choose because it is much cheaper and you are getting an amazing quality camera anyways :D I would only go for the 60D if i was a pro photographer
when you filmed with the Canon 600D did you use the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens ?
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?
@callmefantastic

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.
would the 60d be a good camera for me to get for high school sports and action shots?
Canon EOS 600D (T3i) vs 60D: Which one is better video wise? Does the 70D have the Canon EOS 600D (T3i) cooler functions
600D and 24-105
is that a good combo?
i wonder if this is a all round purpose combo
should i buy canon 60d now or should i wait for the new line ???
What microphone do you use to record the audio, i see its a wireless mic that you can attatch the receiver to the hotshoe.
Finally, A camera review that even I can understand. Thanks, I'm about to pull the trigger on the 6oD!!
What are you making videos of? Probably a really wide lens with zoom capabilities...
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
did you get those lens for free. may be that s why you were playing with it and how was the taste of the lens after cooking.
Hi, i just buy the canon 600d for videos and what is the best lens for videos?
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.
@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.
So is the Canon 600d the same as the t3i? It is kind of confusing
What shooting modes and settings are you using for videos like these.
Thanks
Hi, what kind of device uses your cameraman to plug his headphones in while filming?
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...
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!!!!!
@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.
Hi I have a question. I am planning to buy an EOS 7D body and an EF 100mm f/2.8 L macro from your website. Items will be delivered to Melbourne. How long will it take and do I have to pay customs or GST for those items on top of the listed price?
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..
yeeah please tell me what lens do you used in the canon 600d?? is the 18/135 mm??
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.
do you ever run into overheating with the t3i while filming?
I lubricated my hands with some butter..lol
but overall would the 600D be a better value for the money?
Is it worth to upgrade from a 600D to a 60D?
@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.
What camera did you use to shoot the film is the question
I need to update my DSLR (Mines only picture capable lol Olympus e-410). What's the best MANUAL video capable DSLR? Looking to buy something for the filming side more than taking picture side. Any recommendations are welcomed.
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
What about testing the lenses after putting them through that destruction? Perhaps with a few test photos?
I am looking to make music videos and short films along with take pro photos which is recommended the T3i or the 5d mark 2
what better for video? 600d or 60d?
WHAT MUSEUM IS THIS?? it looks really cool.
what is that piece on top of your friends cam at 05:58? is it for the wireless mic? where would i find it
so when will you do a review of the 650d?
so is the canon t3i better for video than the 60d?
Which lens you are using for 600d. ?
Should i buy canon 600d og 60d for filming?
does the 60D have the crop factor feature as well?
so.... which one guys?? 600d or 60d?
what do you thinkg about nikon d5100
Which one do you like better?
so i should get the 600D then?
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 :-...(
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.
My T3i, which I bought new had an LCD screen protector if I am remembering correctly.
How do you manually change F-Stop with the Canon T3i in movie mode?
Hey kai my t3i keeps stoping automatically when videoing the internet says it's something to do with the SD card I'm using so I'm curious which SD card do you use ???
@AdroitNecromaner what do you mean? they both have the same sensor both are cannon and both have six's in their names
great video guys. i was just wondering about the mics u used on the videos and where you guys got themusic for your vid.thanks.
did you guys use the kit lenses?
600D has less noise at ISO6400? It just not focused right...
@SuperMotionFilms That's a 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
@turfmono I think it was the 24-105mm L series lens.
@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
@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.
