Worth your money, especially if you're a newb

I am new to DSLR systems. And, I was going to purchase one of the Rebels, but I found that it wasn't quite worth it. My uncle had one of the Rebels, and I felt that I could not do a lot of performance shots. Up to this day, my uncle is jealous that I have a better camera then he does. The buttons are placed in what I feel the right places, yes it can be a bit too heavy, but at least its right in the middle when compared to the Rebels and like the 5D.
Pros: good battery life, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
Cons: Heavy/Bulky, nothing

Great Camera

I have used this camera for a little less than a year. It does a very good job. This camera was purchased to replace a camera that had become obsolete. I could not be happier with the purchase. Although I don't backpack with it most of my work is done outdoors. I haven't had the dust problem some speak of and I live in the desert. Lot's of dust, static electricity and wind and no problems. I have found the images to be as sharp as can be expected. If you use a tripod and good camera practice you should get excellent results. I could not be more satisfied. In fact I have used it as well as the 5DMkii and they are very comparable. One of my favorite features is the reticulating viewing screen. I wish it had a built in PC socket.
Pros: good battery life, quiet, Nice features/settings, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use

Great upgrade from Rebel

I got this camera after reading reviews and watching videos. It came down to this one of the T3i. I wanted the flip out screen, and the 60d having more cross type AF points seemed better. More is better right? The ISO performance kills my previous XSIs performance. It gets grainy when you get into the 2000s, but its not unbearable. I tend to do black and white when I'm using high ISO anyway. But I can get shots that would simply have been impossible on the XSI. I haven't played around with the video mode much, but so far its head and shoulders over my old hand held cam.
Ergonomics are much better for me. I have decent sized hands, and the 60d fits perfect in my palm. The Rebel feels like a toy in comparison. It has a good weight to it also.
I also love the way the shutter sounds. Like a pro camera clunk instead of the high pitched snap the XSI has.
I'm definitely loving this camera.

Disappointed
on May 25, 2012

I like the feel and controls. I'm fast with them but the camera slows me down. I shoot manual with the exception of AF. AF is slow and unreliable. It's a cool camera for a studio, but just awful for any action. Don't use it any dust area, to include pollen, it is not constructed for any kind of weather. I have spent a lot on this, for me, and I spend more time trying to keep it clean than using it. If I'm not shooting inside or from my car, I just use my iPhone.
Pros: Nice features/settings, Simple controls/menu
Cons: Poor build quality, slow af
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

OUTSTANDING CAMERA

My second Canon SLR. The first was the EOS 650 film camera with several Canon lenses (stolen) which I LOVED to shoot with. So it makes sense I would replace it with another Canon. All of the research I did led me to the 60D. It is more adjustable than some SLR's, less than a few but is works for me. I have used it for 6 months and have improved the quality of the output photos each time.
Pros: good battery life, quiet, Nice features/settings, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, Simple controls/menu, easy to use, easy for this photo hack

Not great

High on the noise, low on the sharpness. At full size, the images are terrible looking. Manual settings only improve this slightly. Took mine back. Will have to wait for the next gen or buy a used 50D. Very disappointed.
