Well if you are new in photography and you have not had a slr before you should consitter buying this camera, it has a good quality image and you get value for money unlike many other rivals

i wonder why you will get more value for money with this unlike it's rivals.

The rivals have better sensors and some are actually better equipped too.

And then Nikon offers better cheap lenses for beginners.

The 50mm F1.8 and 35mm F1.8

The 600D was a decent camera. Now it's getting old and the compitions has moved beyond what it can do.

The 600D is not a new camera, so you do need to realize you are going to get it a LOT cheaper than the newer rivals, hence the word "value". A few weeks ago the 600D plus the kit 18-55mm lens (refurbished) could be purchased for $389 from Canon with a one year warranty.

And how much is the better performing similar age D5100

checkout yourself

Better performing for stills,

Not really. I'd call it worse performing.

More dynamic range cleaner shadows

The 600D has enough DR in RAW at base ISO as it is, more is useless. Unless one is a shadow puller (the weirdest profession ever). I like my photos contrasty, thanks..

So you claim less is better. You have the option to get detail out of the shadows. You can make the Nikon more contrasty if you want it you can't get it the other way

Nonsense, the Canon has enough RAW headroom also. Come on now, you shadow puller.

Nope it doesn't just look it up on youtube

Yes it does, shadow puller.

Not better at higher ISO.

It is in raw not in jpeg blame the image processor if you have a d5100 just shoot raw.

Nonsense, the D5100 is not better in higher IS0.

Please I did my research its time you check raws

You did no research it seems, I checked just now on DPreview, and there is no difference between the D5100 and the 600D at ISO 3200 and 6400 noise wise.

How is the mirror lock up?

Not really an issue

So, how is it, that mirror lock up?

I use the viewfinder. It's a DSLR why not use it in the way you should besides I have no problem with blurriness

I suspect you don't know what mirror lock up is, and what it is for.

How is the lens deconvolution working in your Nikon RAW processor? How is the badly implemented live view helping you get the results you are after?

The d5100 got a firmware update with lens profiles a year ago.

Lens profiles? I think I was saying deconvolution.

Live view is terrible in the 1200d as well it has no on sensor pdaf

Nonsense, live view implementation on the 1200D is just fine. Why are you bringing up the 1200D, by the way, I am sure we were talking about the 600D?

Because they are the exact same thing......

You said you did research. Then don't write nonsense.... Two different cameras.

And still, bot have way better live view implementation than ant Nikon APS-C DSLR.

Worse performing, yes.

Better in stills.

Nonsense. Shadow pulling makes for worse images.

Over processing leads to poor images. Pushing shadows on a canon too since you will get banding and insane noise levels.

Still writing nonsense. If you push shadows several stops, you are indeed making poor images. Shadow puller is a weird profession.

and less noise at higher iso's is worse performing

a little, and much worse for video. The 5100 is more of a specialist camera. And let's not forget the 600D can get Magic Lantern, which adds so much functionality it is quite amazing.
