I have a 600d. I'm actually in the process of selling it, but not because of the video.

You are right, the 600d does not have very good video quality.

Also worth mentioning is that the 600d (like most DSLRs) doesn't focus during a video. This could impact sharpness.

that's the problem i had with mine, so i gave up and bought a video camera for videos back in the day.  the T4i was better with focusing using the new EF-S STM lens for video.

But, the good news is, newer DSLRs do have video AF. The 750d has good video AF, while the 800d onwards has canon's excellent "Dual Pixel AF".
