There are a lot of reviews available on both these cameras on Internet. Unfortunately they all are talking about technical specifications which most of the entry level users do not understand. I’ll put all these technical features into normal user’s perspective for better understand and a right selection.

Non technical observations.

• 600D is more expensive, but at the same time provides better resolution, LCD, and viewfinder.

• GRIP, you should hold both the cameras in hand to see which fits bets into your hands. I feel Nikon is better and provides wider space for my thumb. I do not have to worry about accidentally pressing any other button around my thumb.

Couple of my friends recently got into a situation where they were not able to restore their content at all. So finally I thought off writing few important things to remember…

REMEMBER

Your iTunes sync preference settings are also backed up with the backup. However, these sync settings could be different for different iPhones you connect to your computer.

When you start the restore from a backup, all the sync preferences will be preselected on iTunes and you MUST NOT CHANGE those sync settings to avoid any surprises.

Another VERY IMPORTANT point to remember, you MUST transfer your purchased application licenses to iTunes by right clicking you phone in iTunes and selecting Transfer Purchases. By following this, you’ll not have to re-purchase any app.
