The 600D is a solid camera, its a personal favorite of mine.
The still images are great, the video is excellent and the lens selection + accessories are in abundance. It would be the ideal wallet friendly choice for anyone wanting a 5D mark II as the high iso is very similar (naturally the 5D is better) and the video performance is identical. But don't forget the FOV differences between these two cameras.
People will say go for nikon for images, go for canon for video. In my experience this is complete crap. people say the d7000 is the high iso king among aps-c size sensors, but again, i think thats crap. All the good sensors are made by sony anyway.

http://www.imaging-resource.com/…You think the d7000 is miles better? clearly its not.
(note this comparison does not take in to account shutter speeds)The 600d is crazy good value for money. I'm not slating nikon, they're great, but i don't agree with the general consensus of they are better for images.
Having said all of that, for your purposes it seems like the 600d is overkill. You dont need the video function. you dont need its great high iso. If i were you i would consider either a Canon 500d (t1i) nikon d3100, they are cheaper and excellent value.
Miguex and others on these boards have a t1i and get excellent pics from them.
note the 500d isnt quite as good as the 500d for high iso -

Hombre_Lobo - thats my point vax, no need for high iso for static studio work, agreed dude :)Hombre_Lobo
- true... I have a D7000 for my own ergonomic reasons, the 600D is nicevaxorcist
- cool vax :) even though video is more important to me, i prefer the ergonomics of the nikons.Hombre_Lobo
