Canon EOS 600D SLR

Having purchased many things over the past 1 year, I was convinced that Flipkart is a very reliable site. So, I decided to make a big purchase from Flipkart: This camera. (Also, one more Sigma lens of 70-300).

The camera is good. Even images at ISO 1600 are somewhat usable. The lens supplied in the box is a good product. I took some snaps and they came out good. A prime lens would be beneficial for a higher aperture and faster images though... So, I'm thinking about a 50mm f1.8. The camera is good.
Video recording is superb and well detailed. You can choose maximum 1080p w/ 30 fps or 720p w/ 60fps with clear audio too in both these modes. But, for these frame rates you will have to set TV system to NTSC in Camera's options. Good camera though. Very VFM.

But sadly, I am not that satisfied with the Flipkart experience. The following shortcomings I noticed:

1. The delivery was promised on May 2. Didn't come. Then expected delivery date shifted to 6th May. Didn't come. It came on 7th May.

2. Instead of promised 67mm UV filter, I was given a cheaper 58mm filter which did not fit into 18-135 lens. I had to fit that filter into another lens.

3. Instead of Lens Cleaner, I was given a cheaper Lens pen which is hardly worth it.

4. The camera's seal was a half seal, somewhat like it was torn from both sides. And the Camera Manual's polythene was torn (that was INSIDE THE BOX!!). I can't believe Canon guys did it, then maybe someone opened the camera box before I did?!

I clearly told them all this (except point no. 3 that I just noticed) over their Customer service email 4-5 days ago. But not even a reply came?? Such an insult of customer.

Flipkart Experience: 1/5
Camera Quality & Experience: 4.5/5

Overall: 3/5 Stars.

Recommendation: Get this camera. Its good. Get it from your nearest retailer I would say.

flipkart didn't have 18-135 lens for this camera when I bought it. So, I purchased it from bangalore. The camera is superb.. A very good option for beginners.
The camera is sturdy and stable. Picture quality is awesome. But one small negative issue about this camera is its shutter sound.
People compare it with 550D and say its a bit overpriced for the kind of additional features it offers. Yes its partly true, but the 360 degree LCD helps to shoot videos and pics at different angles and heights when U switch to live mode. I am totally satisfied with this product.
One more suggestion is its always better to buy this cam with18-135 lens than 18-55 lens.

Ordered the DSLR with 18-135 EF-S lens yesterday got the product today! With in 24 hours! How did you guys do it? Wow I am very happy regarding that.
Camera, Lens and all the goodies received in nicely packed box. All sealed and secure. The camera is 'made is Taiwan' so is the lens. Some other reviewer had said the camera is made in Japan, not in my case. But that's fine, I have checked it in stored too they all Taiwan made.
I have also received 'Simplex Tripod 333', SanDisk 16 GB Class 4 card, SanDisk 4GB Ultra SDHC 30mb/s Card, Nisi DW1 Digital Filter, Camera Bag which says 'EOS Digital', Lens cleaner 'LensPen' as bundled freebies. I have nothing to complain about them.
I also bought a 32 GB class 10 Transcend SD card.

Did not get time to test out the camera yet, But will put the review soon on the camera and usability.
At the moment very happy with the stuff received. But this all about the service from flipcart. Ok forgot to mention the 5% cash back on online transaction.
I have added 4 stars, why? Because Flipcart forgot to reply to my email queries two days back!

Anyone buying this camera I strongly advice you to buy with the lens 18-135 mm EF-S lens. This is much better lens by build quality and also by picture quality based on reviews. This lens bundled as kit lens would save you atleast 12K when bought together. Also it gives the good range so you may be satisfied with just one all in one lens. Only thing is its heavy but very sturdy.

The camera is undoubtedly SUPERB !!!

For the first timers and people who are confused among this and Nikon 5100, just do one thing. Go to a good camera store, hold both of them, click a couple of pictures, feel them and see which one suits you better. That's it.

However, the 18-135 lens is a plus plus here.

And with the pricing Flipkart offers along with the combo, it just can't get better. Had compared this with other retailers but none could come close enough.

Great/ kickass buy as a camera. Great delivery as usual.

Flipkart first sent me a card which was a class 4 card and not compatible with the camera.

They gave me a new card (32 GB)a class 10 card which works fantastically.

Thanks FK, never been let down by you'll. Best company ever!!
