600d vs 650d
 

i currently have the 1100d with these lenses: canon 17-55 2.8 IS USM, canon 50mm 1.8, and Tamron 70-300 (the cheap one).

i am looking to upgrade my camera body, perhaps in the summer once i've saved, and am trying to decide between these two. i like shooting a range of things, from landscapes to urban art, to macro and wildlife, so i guess i'm looking for an all-rounder.

i'm not interested in video, so the 650d's video autofocus thing isn't a selling point for me, but the higher frame rate, greater number of cross-type autofocus points and in camera HDR might be. on the other hand, the 600d has slightly better colour depth,more dynamic range, is quite a bit cheaper and seems to have the same sensor...

any advice? the 60d would be the natural 'big boy' competitor to these, i think, but i don't think i can handle its size and weight very well...

If I were choosing, I'd go for the 650d. As you say the higher frame rate and the better focussing. also the 650 has the latest digic 5 processor which i believe is the same as in the 7d. As for video. ok i've never used this facility but still nice to have for when i need it. Also for the small difference in £ then I'd go with the newer model..

thanks, that's probably the direction i was leaning in...i'm not ready for the next step after this, but the 650d will be a significant improvement from what i currently have.

another vote for the 650d

And another:)

well that's that then! i'd best get my saving system in order ;)

Or maybe even the 700d details [url=http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2013/03/21/canon-eos-700d-price-release-date-specs-confirmed/]here[/url]

I was just going to post about the 700. The 650 will be a good deal shortly as they are cleared out.

ooh, now i'm all undecided again! will check out 700d specs etc...thanks guys.

The specs are almost Identical and the only difference is the continuous AF when in movie mode also the 700D is 5 Grams heavier
