Review on Canon EOS 600D Kit EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II, black by Dagmara Pkaa ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I have not regretted the purchase, everything is fine.

A solid 4 across the board. It performs admirably for a low-cost DSLR. As 18-55 doesn't do much, and with such optics (18-55), your images won't look any better than what you'd get from a high-end soap dish, but they'll cost you more and weigh more. At some time, your 18-55 won't do anything but collect dust, whereas the proceeds from the sale of your 18-135 will be enough to purchase a respectable set of filters.

Pros
  • The ergonomics are excellent, and it is a joy to hold. Simple controls and a clear display. There's enough juice for a few days of nonstop shooting (700-1 tons of shots without flare)
Cons
  • The handle (where the release button is) is made of cheap plastic and creaks if you apply different amounts of pressure to your hand, which was the first item that drew my attention. In terms of design and construction, I would give the case a 5, but this is a major annoyance. And we have two such carcasses in the family, both of them suffer from this flaw. Autofocus is tedious because it is impossible to swiftly record anything if the screen is switched to focus mode. In my opinion, the viewfinder is too dim and too narrow, and the fact that it lacks a horizon and has poorly identifiable focus illumination spots only adds insult to injury. No such issues have been experienced on a friend's d3000. A total of three when compared to the same Nikon's viewfinder. Puff, sense = 0, built-in, and you can see more than just bright "faces" on a dark background. In my opinion, we should stop using these fantastic flashlights with "superzooms" and instead stick to more or less respectable technology. In addition, for around $100, you can have a satisfying toke.
