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
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice cam. It does a little of everything and at an affordable price (now).
Ok, the cons..
- I miss the MA what my 5D2 and 7D have.
- ISO performance could be better but it's not that bad, depending on what you shoot you might need to look into that of course. I usually use it under 800.
- The back of the lcd feels a little thin. one of the plastic elements is a little loose too..
- uses SD cards...
-weather seals is..well it doesn't really have one...
The goods....
- 18MP, same as 7D, lots of details, room for cropping, printed posters at 20x30 without any problem.
- lcd is better than 7D, 5D2,
- The tilting screen is awesome. One of the reasons I got it for. It is awesome for video (what I never do:)) but it is also great for low, high shots, macro and/or studio work. Every DSLR should have tilting screen. If the manufacturer do it right it won't take away from the sturdiness of the camera.
- Battery life is good and shares the battery with my other cams. :) !!
- top lcd
- quiet buttons. Yes, some don't like it I do. A lot! Much better than the clicking noisy ones on my other cam's, you'll get used to it quickly

My view is that as long as you have a decent cam you should focus on lenses first.
This is a very good camera to start with or to have as a backup. If you add some sharp lenses it can produce awesome images.

I love my Canon Cameras. i love the look, the size and features of my EOS 60D. my only problem is taking pictures in LOW LIGHT. pictures are much too dark. Any feedback on how to shoot better pictures in a low light setting.

Aside from underexposure issues...

from SW Ontario, Canada
I'm coming from an EOS Xsi and then 50D and the image quality of the 60D s of course excellent - as like its little sister and big brother - the 18mp T2i & 7D.
My only frustration is Auto ISO in Manual Mode - it consistently underexposes!
Canon needs to either boost exposure for Auto ISO in M Mode - OR - Please give us Exposure Compensation in M Mode - such an easy firmware fix!
Pros: excellent image quality on par with peers, very nice having auto iso - & expandable to 6400, very nice lcd resolution & nice vari-angle option, nice to have video vs 50d
Cons: auto iso in m mode underexposes consistently!, deciding if ai servo is same or worse vs. 50d, buttons have poor tactile feel vs even rebels, lower specs & performance vs rival peers

Seriously the Canon EOS 60d is awesome and amazing, upograding from 50D, i was tying to get the 7D but i tried the 60d and the 7D, i see there is no difference, just the 7d is little bit bigger and pricey, but there is no difference, the most things i like in this 60d is articulating LCD, you can't see on any canon DSLR camera and has a good battery life LP-E6 is terrific, 5D mark !! and 7D use LP-E6 too!
Seriously the canon EOS 60D is an gorgeous and amazing digital SLR camera, even if i stay at home i play with it like a kid!

My girlfriend surprised me with the EOS 60D EF-S 18-135 IS Kit as a gift on Christmas day. This camera is great! In my opinion, this camera is easy to get use to and will make you feel like a Pro. The high quality pictures are excellent, very professional and the HD videos are way beyond expectations. The LCD monitor is very nice, very clear, very crispy and the EF-S 18-135 lens is very very good. I was expecting this camera to be good, but the 60D surpassed expectations and i am amazed. The 60D is a bit heavy, but a man of my size can handle it =). Overall, this camera is great to have and it's on the professional level.
Pros: professional quality, great features, easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great DSLR!

I have used the 60D for a few weeks and I am very happy with the performance. Although it's not a magnesium body, the body is still pretty solid. The articulating screen is great. The locked mode dial is actually a good feature. The initial kit 18-135mm is a good start. I have been a Canon user for years and I will stick to Canon's!
