Hey,

I'm settled on either the 550d or the 600d as they fit my price range.

The 550D is available refurb from Canon for £382.xx with the 18-55mm IS lense.

The 600D is currently available for £436.xx and includes an extra battery and a remote. (New) or £399 (refurb) but whether it has extra battery or remote I don't know.

Which would you choose, and why?

Thanks
 
Ok guys - I'm going with the 600D, just wondering whether I should buy some filters perhaps primarily to just keep dust off the lense? If so what would you suggest?
 
Thank you for your reply mate! Digital rev seem very reasonable, I want the nifty fifty to go with it though as the one I used before was a cracker! I'm guessing digital rev come badged as the rebel?

Some people do it, others don't. The problem is they can reduce contrast, especially the cheaper ones, iirc digitalrev did some testing with them.



It has a better sensor than Canon crops, £307 on *******.

Is it as easy to get around as the canon? I notice the canon has better fps for video clips at 1280 (video is not my priority otherwise I would get a camcorder!)

Buzz - You are a canon man then? ;)
 
In short, the risk of digital rev may be worth it?

You can get the camera, 50mm (which I love), 18-55mm, two filters, memory card and bag for not a great deal more than the uk camera?

Edit : Though I'm watching comets sale with keen eyes!
