Boasting Canon's EOS HD video capture, 18-megapixel resolution, a three-inch Vari-Angle Clear View LCD screen, new Scene Intelligent Auto, new Video Snapshot technology and new Feature Guide instruction, the EOS 600D DSLR has plenty of reasons for Mom and Dad to step up to a DSLR.

The new EOS 600D offers fun and easy-to-use features for beginning photographers. For the young enthusiast learning photography or the adult looking to learn more, Canon's new Feature Guide instruction will walk 600D users through functions and provide recommendations for various settings, a great hands-on learning tool. Point-and-Shoot users looking to step-up to a DSLR will enjoy the T3i camera's Scene Intelligent Auto mode, the most intuitive automatic camera mode available in a Canon 600D camera to date, providing complete scene analysis and optimized settings.

One of the most sought-after and requested features for a DSLR camera is now part of the new EOS 600D, Canon's three-inch Vari-Angle Clear View LCD screen, ideal for properly composing those difficult overhead shots.
