I'm about to buy a DSLR camera for my family. Which one of these is the best? 600D, 650D, 700D, 400D, 450D and 60D? Please let me know which one is the best. The 650D comes with touchscreen, how about others? And why?

P/S : u can suggest me other model, but not other brand like Nikon or something.

D7100, or used D600 or D610 or new D750 all are Gooding body.

Not too sure for canon

You see the body he listed, all below RM 4,000. D600 onwards it's all above RM 5,000

What's your budget?

Among your list, models like 400D / 450D are ancient. Just ignore them unless you intend to minimize budget.

Go for something like the 700D or 70D. Difference being that the 70D is larger and has some advantage over the 700D like finer controls over ISO stops, White Balance, larger in size (better grip) and comes with top facing LCD for quick overview of settings.

The EOS 70D is currently my favorite camera in Canon's product line-up.

Are u sure D600 5k above? Last time I saw kit II somewhere around 3k for D600. Yeah, 70D is very nice it has touchscreen. But the price 😭😭😭😭 mu budget is around 4k

Nikon D600 is around RM3k, second hand, body only.

nikon D600 is not same as Canon 600D

You can sort these cameras in two groups: xxxD and xxD. The 3-digits bodies are Canon entry-level SLRs, and the 2-digits bodies are a step above. (there's also the 4-digits -xxxxD- bodies that are even a step below, but let's omit them).

The main difference is the xxD bodies are bigger, heavier and comes with better controls (extra dial on the back, very useful if you want to shoot in full manual mode), top LCD display. These bodies also feature a higher burst rate mode (higher fps), and better auto focus. Image quality wise, no real difference between xxxD and xxD of the same generation.

On the xxxD side, forget about the 400D and 450D, they are way too old (circa 2008-2009). The 500D was the first to introduce a movie mode. The 550D and 600D are incremental updates to the 500D (no big difference). The 650D and 700D are the most recent models and are virtually identical, but provide a much better auto focus system compared with the older system (same AF as the 60D).

xxD side, the 70D is the latest model. It's a relative modest upgrade from the 60D. The much improved AF is the key difference.

If money is a concern, I would look for a 650D or 60D. For a beginner, the 650D is a very good deal.

That said, Canon just announced two new models last week (won't be available before April): the 750D and the 760D. The 750D is the upgrade to the 700D with a much better AF (same as the 70D). The 760D is totally new and sits between the 750D and the 70D. It's like a mini 70D in many regards.

canon 5ds /5dsr

i would recommend u canon 70D

good camera with its features

wait for the canon 760D if you can, it's features packed in a small yet affordable body.

A lot of the cameras in the list are old models. And since its for family the newest ones are more recommended because touchscreen makes things way more user friendly. So here are 3 current models to narrow down and make your decision more easier. Just look at the 100D, 700D & 70D.

100D - Smallest DSLR with touch screen.
700D - Still small with touch screen and flip screen for those selfies or weird angles.
70D - Bigger and better than the 700D. A camera you should consider if you plan to take photography more seriously.

Those 3 models you should take a look at. The difference are quit clear when you see them in person, especially size. A future model to look at is the Canon 760D if you can wait for it to come out.

just get 70d
-touchscreen(family shud able to snap a perfect focused picture by taping the place where they want to focus so little brother or granma oso can snap a pro-like picture)
-wifi-(upload to phone ,and then fb easily)
-remote liveview(gud for family gathering groupfie)
-flipscreen(gud for family gathering groupfie)
-semipro(more future-proof)
-excellent video performance(thanks to it superb dualpixel cmos autofocus)
-cropsensor/apsc(in future,if family plan to serious in photography,can easily get a variety of lens without breaking the bank for full frame lens)

^ this .. as this guy suggested. 70D is the far most gooding body i think after my previous (50D)

i think he randomly search in online market and as it to list all camera below xxx price.

try go wikipedia and read a little bit about the line up...
model like 450D 500D are 3-4 years old model. they are mere less then rm1k 2nd hand now

the divide their camera range/class/level by

(4 digit) XXXXD are to avoid camera. lol
(3 digit) XXXD are entry model
(2 digit) xxD are mid end model
(1 digit) XD, are Pro level model.

and then the lastest 'higher' number are lastest model.
so it goes like
400D to 450D to 500D to 550D to 600D to 650D to lastest 700D
mid level
20D, to 30D, to 40D, to 50D, 60D and lastest 70D.

hope this help you understand a little more of canon camera lineup.

if you have the budget, go for 70D... many ppl give the reason above.

also i will avoid wierd lineup like 1000D or 100D, they are fillers to fill in the market price gap and to test the market. and they strip of many features that your camera accessories might not support.

I still have my old 1000D & 60D..both are the best for myself.
