I've had my 600d since October. Congratulations on your choice. I'm sure you'll enjoy your new purchase. Which lens did you get?
I have been struggling with trying to decide whether to buy the Nikon D5100 or the Canon 600D and have been back and forth to jessops trying each camera and doing loads of research. Well i went back to jessops today and came out with a bag, a UV filter, a screen protector, a lens hood, AND, a CANON 600D.
Now im looking for some help, i am going out tomorrow with a friend to spend the day shooting, i haven't got time to fully read the manual before i go so has anyone got any tips on any settings that i may need to set to get better results. Thanks in advance.
Next time you go back in, grab a 50mm f/1.8...great cheap lens on the 600
Best price for a 600d body only used or new?

£499 from here https://www.ekmsecure62.co.uk/ekmps/shops/hdewcameras/index.asp?function=DISPLAYPRODUCT&productid=835
bought mine from here a few weeks back and very happy
any of you 600D owners have a macro lens? if so what, or what would you recommend? really want the 100mm 2.8 L lens but its dear, was thinking maybe the 60mm f2.8 non L lens
RKC said:My son has a 600d and I borrowed it to do a bit of experimentation of wireless flash, got it to work and found it fun, however I could not find a way of turning off the on board flash, had a look in the manual and that suggests not possible, so my question is it possible?
Many thanks Bob
Hi and welcome! Great choice of camera and I am looking forward to seeing some shots with that macro lens.
What flash were you using? I've recently purchased a Yongnuo 560 II which can only be triggered with the onboard flash unless I purchase some wireless triggers.
I understand the Canon 580 EXII speedlight can be triggered with the 600D's wireless function but I can't justify £300-£400 for a flash at this time!
Thanks Rico - I am just putting some on to Flickr - some are taken using the new 600D and the macro lens, and others up there were taken with the 350D

Any and all comments welcome. None of them have been edited in any way.
Hi Bob,
Sorry I misunderstood your question!
On the 600D, if you go into Menu > Flash Control > Built-in flash func. setting > Wireless func.
There are 3 options in there, the top one fires the onboard and remote flash together using the same settings. The middle one fires just the remote flash (using a quick flash from the onboard to trigger it but not actually contributing to the exposure) and the last one fires both the onboard and remote flashes but allows you do use different settings on both.
I hope that helps!
Some nice macro shots there, were they taken using natural light or flash?
Hi guys, I am seriously considering this camera. I am looking to upgrade from my Sony HX9 compact to a DSLR. How highly would you rate this camera? Would it be good enough for wedding pictures etc? I might try my luck at being the photographer at a few weddings for family and friends in years to come. Is this camera capable of achieving the best images? Thanks for your help in advance.

Dom7 said:OK that's great advice. I will bear that in mind! So if I were to look at maybe doing a few weddings etc, which model would you guys suggest? Obviously being 600D owners, you might well suggest the 600D, but let us for a second, take that model away...
