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

Whatever the case may be, I plan on adding a 50mm f/1.8 to my 18-55 set. Zoom lenses with an aperture of f2.8 and a stabilizer are worth considering if you have the extra cash. Remember that the image quality of prime lenses is typically higher than that of zoom lenses. You may require an external flash; if so, look for one that has both E-TTL compatibility and a rotating head (puff into walls and ceilings). Models like the 60–70d have a more manageable size and weight, while the 100d is the most compact option in this price range. It's not small, and I don't enjoy walking around with a machine that looks like a pro, people get terrified, so if money were no object, I'd go for the 100d for a really compact alternative or the 60d for a more pleasant ride. Used 5d mk II comes in next, followed by 6d and 5d mk III in terms of cost and quality. To me, the two most crucial factors in selecting a crop are available resources (time and money) and desired dimensions (grip and controllability). The number of focusing points, the type of focusing points (cross or not), the ability to focus in live view, and the presence or absence of STM support are currently not major differentiators amongst devices.
