I'm looking for a second hand aps-c camera to be my 6D's best mate. I don't have particular requirements in terms of features, I plan to buy a 55-250 and keep it on 90% of the time (for the extra 10% I could use one of my primes.

My current options are:

100d for 230$

450d for 130$

600d for 250$

I think the 450d may be a bit too archaic for my needs, but between 100d and 600d it's a much harder choice. Considering that I never use video, is there any major advantage of one over the other? I like th size of the 100d, but I like the screen of the 600d.

Both now are supported by the newest DPP4 version, so that is no reason to choose one over the other.

Both also can run Magic Lantern (nice for certain things, like trap focus and certain live view utilities).

I guess you just have to choose on body style. Will you go for the smaller body or the swivel screen? I can't help you there.

Any advice is welcome!
