How can this be? (2:01 PM, February 26, 2013)
How on earth is 1100D's IQ better than 600D, that has a much larger sensor + higher dynamic range? Bad photographer maybe? Or is it possible that you lot only own 1100D? =)

1100D is kicking 600D.Because 1100D image quality better than 600D.I used 600D and 1100D.600D body quality is better but image quality bad
