Canon EOS 600D Kit III (EF S18-55 IS + 55-250mm IS II Lens) Digital SLR Camera

The EOS 600D is powered by an 18-megapixel high image quality CMOS sensor and the powerful DIGIC 4 image processor. Features like Scene Intelligent Auto, Basic+ and Feature Guide make it simple to achieve full control over creative functions. The advanced Creative are integrated into the EOS 600D, as well as Full HD video recording and Video Snapshot.

FEATURES
18.0 megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor
ISO 100-6400, expandable to 12800
Full HD recording in 24, 25 and 30fps

Class-leading 18.0-megapixel CMOS sensor
In the spirit of Canon's imaging supremacy, the EOS 600D adopts a generous 18-megapixel CMOS (APS-C-sized) sensor that empowers you to take all manner of scenes from vast, breathtaking landscapes to close-up wildlife shots in explicit detail. Having a massive 18-megapixel resolution also means that you can still turn your photos into gallery exhibits even after cropping them.

3-inch wide Vari-Angle clear view LCD monitor
For exceptional recording and playback of images, the EOS 600D employs a crisp 3-inch wide Vari-Angle Clear View LCD monitor that contains over a million dots. The nifty Vari-Angle screen is also a welcome addition for curious shutterbugs looking to discover fresh framing perspectives, as the specially designed hinge allows it to be swivelled in almost any angle.

Scene Intelligent Auto
Fresh out of Canon's factory of innovation is the Scene Intelligent Auto mode, a fully automatic shooting mode that takes total advantage of the EOS Scene Detection System, an integrated system that analyzes every element of a scene including a person's face, and/or the image's brightness, movement, contrast, colour, distance and more. This information is then expertly evaluated by Scene Intelligent Auto to produce beautiful exposures that truly capture the essence of their surroundings.
