Why don't my Canon EOS 600D vs 5D Mark II comparisons meet my expectations?
You expected it to be better because people tend to think, bigger = better. People talk about how great full frame is without understanding what is really different, and your expectations are too ...

Why is my Canon 600D not turning on?
If I were you, I'd go ahead and buy another battery on Amazon. If a new battery fixes it, dispose of your old one, and you're good for $15. If not, it might be an internal problem and you'd probably ...

Why does my picture get cropped when viewing it on LCD screen?
It's on page 129 of the EOS Rebel T3i/600D Instruction Manual
It appears your camera is currently set to 16:9. To do what you want, you need to set it to 3:2.

Is the Canon 5D noise at low light better than the Rebel T3i/4i/5i/6i models?
This comparison at The-Digital-Picture between the 5D at ISO 3200 and the Rebel T5i/700D at ISO 1600 looks fairly even, especially if one considers the difference in scale. (I chose the T5i because ...

Why don't my Canon EOS 600D vs 5D Mark II comparisons meet my expectations?
You're comparing an older (2008) full-frame camera to a newer (2011) crop body, so if you expect an improvement by moving backwards a generation, you're probably in for some disappointment. If you ...

What to when EOS 600D won't turn on after overheating?

Why don't my Canon EOS 600D vs 5D Mark II comparisons meet my expectations?
You're using a 50mm f/1.8 at f/1.8, which is well known to be very soft wide open. If you want to compare the resolution limits of each camera, you need to use a lens that isn't softer than what ...

Is the Canon 5D noise at low light better than the Rebel T3i/4i/5i/6i models?
I know it's not quite what you're after, but DxOmark will give you a nice comparision of the 5D Mark II and T6i (aka 750D). That shows the 5D Mark II being a whole stop ahead of the 750D (1815 vs 919 ...

Try a different battery. If that doesn't help, well: your consumer electronics device is broken and it is long out of warranty. You should buy a new camera.

Canon 600D + Canon 50mm 1.8 STM Lens
Yes, the 50mm f/1.8 STM will work on your 600D. I have used that lens on my 550D for years. The 50mm STM is an EF mount lens; your camera is compatible with all EF mount and EF-S mount lenses.
