600D is a great choice. Any of the Canon DSLRs are great, really. My only advice would be to choose the model that best fits your budget, and make sure you have enough set aside for a *good* lens. Does not have to be Canon L series, but don't be cheap. It's a good long term investment -- better than the body which will be outdated in only 2 years.
I recommend getting either a good zoom that can handle somewhere between 24-100mm+, or start building up a prime lens set (20mm, 50mm, 100mm, etc.). You will need wide angle for bigger setups, but you will also need a long lens greater than 85mm to make sure your product shots are flat and aren't distorted. You can compromise on the DSLR body a little, but make sure you get good lenses. It's the most important part. Cheap lenses that distort and produce too much chromatic aberration will override a high-end body.
- true.... the lenses, colorchecker, flash and tripod are what last.... a long lens is sometimes great for objectsvaxorcist
