Canon 650D vs. Canon 600D

Canon 650D vs Canon 600D, take a look at 650D specification comparison review and share your thought with us,

Canon 650D image sensor

Canon 650D uses 18MP APS-C Hybrid CMOS sensor with phase and contrast detection AF system, enables faster and more precise autofocus compared to 600D,  you also get standard ISO range up to 100 to 12800, and expandable up to 25600.

Canon 650D image processor

New Canon DIGIC V Image processor: The New image processor used in Canon 650D improves the overall speed & response time of camera, It increases the Continuous shooting  speed up to 5 fps and creates less noise in your JPEG images compared to 600D, the fast DIGIC V image processor also enables the camera to perform sophisticated functions such as in camera HDR Backlight Control, NR mode, art filters, lens correction and much more.

Canon 650D AF sensor

New dual AF system: Canon 600D takes lot of time to do AF when Live view is on and No AF is available during movie recording, the 650D comes with improved Hybrid phase and contrast detection AF system, It also offers Continuous AF during Video Recording, Touch Focus and Touch Click Technology, see more details below

 

There are four different methods of AF available during live view shooting:

Face Track mode detects a face, and continuously focuses and tracks it by switching AF points even when the subject moves to a side profile;
FlexiZone – Multi AF divides the scene into 31 AF points prioritizing the centre and subject in the foreground;
FlexiZone – Single AF mode and Quick mode, allows the focal point to be changed by touching the exact area on the LCD.
Continuous (Pre) AF mode, subjects will always be in focus even before the shutter is activated for improved focusing speed. What’s more, users will be able to perform familiar multi-touch gestures (pinch, spread and swipe actions) to zoom in and out of shots, view images and flip pages.

Canon 650D AF is approx 2X fast compared 600D during live view mode: Conventional contrast-detection focus works by shifting focus back and forth until the peak contrast is detected; the new Hybrid CMOS AF System improves this by predicting the subject’s location and approximate focus using phase detection, which makes auto-focusing twice as fast when the subject is in the zone (approx. middle of the frame).

Continuous AF during Video Recording: Yes its true, Canon 650D can do Continuous AF during Video Recording, the Rebel T4i features Canon’s new Movie Servo AF providing a quiet, continuous AF during HD video recording when using one of Canon’s newly introduced Stepping Motor (STM) lenses. The silent continuous autofocus when shooting HD video helps ensure the camera only captures the sounds of the scene being recorded.

 

Improved Imaging Performance Features: The EOS 650D helps novice photographers capture great images and video, even in low-light with a range of new performance features:

  • Handheld Night Scene mode
  • HDR Backlight Control mode
  • Multi-Shot Noise Reduction

 

Handheld Night Scene and Multi-Shot Noise Reduction captures 4 images rapidly and combine them into one blur and noise free image.

HDR Backlight Control captures images at three different exposures – under, correctly, and over-exposed – and combining them into one HDR image displaying both highlight and shadow detail.

Video snap-shot mode of canon 650D is similar to Canon 600D, nothing new.

Touch screen with 650D: For the first time canon Rebel comes with touch display, EOS controls are integrated into an intuitive 3-inch Vari-Angle Clear View LCD II Touch Screen Monitor

 

New STM Lenses for movie recording

The new EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM has been developed to improve movie-shooting capabilities with improved image quality throughout the entire zoom range and silent, seamless focusing. The new stepping motor drive delivers ultra smooth and precise focusing during movie recording with continuous auto-focus. Coupled with the Movie Servo AF in the EOS 650D, the camera’s built-in stereo microphone will not pick up any focusing noises while shooting scenes that require silence, and a zoom ring lock to prevent users from accidentally changing the zoom in the middle of a shot, or extend when the lens is left in a bag.

Conclusion: We have done a specification comparison review of 600D vs 550D a year ago, the 600D was a minor upgrade over 550D and we have recommended our users not to upgrade or buy 600D DSLR if you are a still shooter,

For Canon 600D users: Buy it! Hybrid CMOS sensor, Full time AF during video & live view mode, Multi-Touch vari-angle display, DIGIC V image processor that gives you 5fps of Continuous shooting speed, Canon 650D also comes with In camera HDR, Multi-frame NR mode and Handheld Night Scene mode, It’s a big change over 600D.

For 550D users: Yes, we highly recommend you update your 550D with 650D, its really a big Jump over technology.

Sony A37 Review Round-Up

The Sony A37 features 16.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, up to 7 fps continuous shooting speed and ISO sensitivity from 100 to 16000, Some site just reviewed the Sony A37 entry level DSLR, the review Round-up have some positive and negative verdict from the reviewers…

See What others saying about the new Sony A37

A good option if you’re looking for something fast with a viewfinder and tilting LCD, the Sony Alpha SLT-A37 is a solid but not outstanding sub-$800 dSLR-style camera. read full review by cnet.com

Sony’s offerings in the entry-level arena are perhaps more interesting than its Canon and Nikon counterparts, with the translucent mirror technology, Clear Zoom and Auto Portrait Framing giving the beginner photographer a lot of bang for their buck.

Beginners need to be aware, however, that there are downsides to using a translucent mirror technology. Firstly, the amount of light reaching the sensor is reduced, so focusing in lower light conditions can be a little tricky, and secondly it’s fair to say that although good, an EVF won’t be to everyone’s tastes. see full review at techradar.com

The camera’s JPEGs look reasonably good at ISO 100 and 200; then you start to see more softness at ISO 400, with increasing artefacts up through ISO 3200, which we would consider to be the top of the usable range for JPEGs……………….
The A37 is a solid, entry-level, SLR-class camera that will serve anyone on a tight budget who’s looking for something with which to shoot active kids and pets. see full review at cnet.au

The Sony Alpha A37 is a fairly standard upgrade for the company’s entry-level SLT DSLR lineup. It replaces the A35 with some basic upgrades to control, a new image sensor, but a largely unchanged design………………..
Choosing the Sony A37 over competing options like the Nikon D3100 and Canon T3 largely comes down to a decision for speed versus the comfort of an optical viewfinder. The A37’s 5.5fps full resolution burst is well ahead of the Nikon and Canon options, but the electronic viewfinder still isn’t as nice as an optical option. see the full review at digitalcamerainfo.com
