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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Average quality, not an outstanding product.

I like to take pictures instantly when I press the shutter on and the shutter is released. But this is how the device works when the screen is off through the viewfinder. And the 16 to 9 format shoots only when the screen is on, when you switch to the viewfinder, it shoots 4 to 3, despite the fact that in the settings 16 to 9. It turns out that when shooting through the screen from the moment the shutter on is pressed and the shutter is released, 1- 2 seconds, like on soap dishes! Who cares, but I really don’t like it, so I shoot only through the viewfinder and only 4 to 3. It turns out that the rotary screen is not really used when taking a photo. It can only be used for video recording. And you can forget about the photo format 16 to 9. But video shooting goes well only at 18 mm. If you zoom in, the focus must be adjusted manually, in general, it cannot be compared with a conventional video camera, although the video itself, if it turned out, is of high quality. Self timer . If you turn the screen towards you, it is convenient to zoom in and out of the frame borders. But when I press the shutter on, it immediately focuses on me, about 50 centimeters, and when I sit on a chair about 1.5 meters, the photo is blurry. In addition, there is still the same problem with the shutter delay when shooting through the screen, you need to hold the shutter on for a second. I aimed the border of the frame through the screen, manually focused, switched to the viewfinder mode, and only then pressed the shutter on. In general, the self-timer is another dance. In general, the device is good. Autofocus is fast, there are few misses. But it requires expensive lenses. Very expensive lenses. I'm just , 18-55 lens for 4000r. shoots like a soap dish for the same price. Approximately the same way they shoot lenses up to 10000r. And if you want to enjoy the shots, be prepared to buy 17-55 for 28,000.

Pros
  • Already described
Cons
  • The swivel screen can actually be used for video shooting. Self-timer mode, see below. The whale lens is not very good, it is better to replace it.
