Hallo guys
Soon I will upgrade my rig and I thinking what kind of camera buy nowadays. Few month ago I wanted buy old Canon 600D but now I thinking about newer Canon 100D.
What do you thing guys?
Thanks for help!
Best Regards Claude

Hello Claude!
I'd say that either of them would be an excellent choice.
I don't think the images should be much (any?) different at all. Big thing that 600D got over the 100D I'd say is the flipscreen which can be useful but I would take the 100D due to weight (407g vs 560g with battery and memorycard) and formfactor (I intended to have a potentially portable rig though so that is my preference).
I don't think the prices are much different (atleast they are not here where I am) and the 100D comes with the STM kit lens which is supposed to be quite good.
Best, Magnus.

Thanks for reply Magnus!
I have seen that some guys bought this cameras. I think I will do it also. I afraid of kit lenses, probably I will buy standard Canon EF 50MM 1.8II - quite good price. Shutter lag is a bit smaller in 100D.
I hope that newer means better.
Any other advice?
Best Regards

Hello Claude!
Don't be afraid of the kit lenses ;) If you shoot at higher F stops they are great (have a look at this thread were this is currently talked about http://www.agisoft.ru/forum/index.php?topic=2707.0 (http://www.agisoft.ru/forum/index.php?topic=2707.0)). The 50mm is a great choice though.
Otherwise I have no particular advice, except maybe check out the 1200D. I myself have no experience with it but it seems a bit interesting (we own Canon 1100D, 100D, 600D and Nikon D3200).
Feel free to ask anything else though, I'll try to help.
Best, Magnus.
