Canon EOS 600D Review
The Canon EOS 600D offers plenty of features for the beginner photographer to grow with the camera. But is it too similar to the EOS 550D to justify a new model?

Why you can trust TechRadar We spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best. Find out more about how we test.

To test the Canon EOS 600D image quality, we shot our resolution chart with a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM lens.

If you view our crops of the resolution chart's central section at 100% (or Actual Pixels) you will see that, for example, at ISO 100 the Canon 600D is capable of resolving up to nearly 24 (line widths per picture height x100) in its highest quality JPEG files.

Examining images of the chart taken at each sensitivity setting reveals the following resolution scores in line widths per picture height x100:
