well I personally do not use its screen that much. I like it using old fashioned way of looking inside the lens and then take a review on the screen. Don't like rotating screen that much... its good only for videos - for photography it is not very recommended..
Where do you live? do you know Canon T3i is a same model as Canon 600D in Europe and Canon Kiss X5 in Japan. I bought Canon X5 from Ebay (shipped from hong kong) and it was brand new in box and realized I saved about £100 pounds by purchasing from that company (buy it now offer on ebay). It was almost the same price as Canon T2i or 550D for European version. So if you are considering buying that - Try Ebay but only Brand new in box... and you might get T3i for the price of T2i

BTW, After using Canon 600d for a couple of months I am thinking of upgrading it to Canon 60D which is little bit better with almost same price...
Can't afford to buy Canon 7D otherwise its my favourite
