Pros::
Pros: User friendly : The auto mode (or auto without flash, my favorite) is highly forgiving, taking fantastically sharp images, true to color. Very fast : Canon D600 is so ridiculously fast that I can snap multiple photos in time one picture took before. My previous cameras always had a horrible delay for the autofocus (the only mode they usually had), meaning I nearly always lost the moment when the toddler was on the move. Nice pictures : Coming from the land of point-and-shoot, I'm pretty blown away. And I know I'm only touching the tip of the iceberg for what's possible. Great videos : This is the nice new feature of the Canon t3i . I wasn't sure I'd want or need the HD video. But hey, when you've got it, you use it. I've gotten some amazingly clear footage of the kiddo playing in the park with daddy and I'm so glad we went for the model with that feature. Big display : It's really easy to see what pics you've just taken and adjust your photo-taking accordingly. Just by seeing what I've gotten, I'm able to try again and improve a shot almost immediately. Read more about Canon D600 from the original source
Cons: :
Cons: Battery life : Uploading pictures by eye-fi seems to eat the battery alive. It appears that Canon D600 (T3i) won't auto shutoff when uploading, so this morning, after a few hours of uploading big, glorious pictures to my SmugMug account, the battery finally ran out of juice. I wish there was a plug-in mode or some sort of docking-station I could plug the camera into when I return home. If it's only a few pics , they upload and the camera shuts itself off. But if it's a bunch of pics (and when the weather's nice and the lighting's good, I take a lot of pics ), the camera requires a battery recharge just to finish uploading my pictures. Swivel screen worries : I find that the swivel screen, while hugely useful, is something I constantly worry that I'm going to snap off. However, you can keep it closed with the screen facing in(a nice feature) or tuck it onto the camera with the screen facing out. I also find if I'm looking out of the eye-piece, I leave cheek smudges all over the screen when its facing out. Manual mode goofs : Some of my manual mode forays have been less than stellar. I've taken a shot - set up so nice, focus just perfect, subject just so... only to find out I left it in white-balance adjustment for indoors and I was outdoors so the whole picture looks like I dipped it in blue. I've learned to take pics in auto-mode first before experimenting too much. I also learned to check the screen a LOT before proceeding.
Slide 4:
While the DSLR has required me to make some adjustments for including it in my busy life, I really love Canon D600 , am pleased with the investment, am inspired by its ease of use, and I LOVE the pictures I've gotten of my family. Read more about Canon D600 from the original source
