The 600D is the second Canon EOS camera with an articulating LCD screen and supersedes the 550D, although the earlier model was not discontinued until June 2012, when the successor of the 600D, the 650D, was announced.

The successor of Canon EOS 600D was the Canon EOS 650D, equipped with a newly developed Hybrid CMOS sensor that enabled full-time AF during video and live-view mode, and had a multi-touch vari-angle display for one-touch shooting.

DPReview praised its innovative touchscreen, but also pointed out that with regard to auto-focussing in live view mode the 650D was "still far behind the better mirrorless models we have seen from the likes of Panasonic and Olympus as well as rival Nikon's 1 series".
