The Canon EOS 600D is an 18.0 megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera, released by Canon on 7 February 2011. It is known as the EOS Kiss X5 in Japan and the EOS Rebel T3i in the Americas. The 600D is the second Canon EOS camera with an articulating LCD screen and supersedes the 550D, although the earlier model was not discontinued until June 2012, when the successor of the 600D, the 650D, was announced.

Video
As with many DSLRs and unlike the SLT cameras, the 600D does not have continuous auto-focus while filming video; to keep a moving subject in focus the user must either trigger the auto-focus, as when shooting stills, or track the subject's motion manually.
Successor
The successor of Canon EOS 600D was the Canon EOS 650D, equipped with a newly-developed Hybrid CMOS sensor that enabled full-time AF during video and live view mode, and had a multi-touch vari-angle display for one touch shooting. The DIGIC V image processor gave 5 fps of continuous shooting speed and enabled the capture of HDR images with just one click of the shutter button. The Canon 650D also came with a multi-frame NR mode and Handheld Night Scene mode. DPReview praised its innovative touch screen, but also pointed out that with regard to auto-focussing in live view mode the 650D was "still far behind the better mirrorless models we have seen from the likes of Panasonic and Olympus as well as rival Nikon's 1 series".
