Great all around camera

Posted by: Ranchhand

I bought My 60D 3 months ago.Brand new to me and I have not regretted the money well spent,
The egonomics for one are good for someone with large hands, the grippy texture helps to hold the solid heft of the camera with a 70 to 300 EF lens at work..this is no studio queen..this is out of doors, on the field and in the weather.
Never fails.
Ive two lenses..the mentioned 70 to 300 and an 18 ro 135 EF-S.
Beautiful captures in extremely low light conditions,
If you work your craft, get to know the Camera,you will not be disappointed with the excellent results.
Lightning shots, stars, eclipses..all are in your grasp.
Sunsets are an extreme joy to capture in full manual mode.
Colors are rendered faithfully as you desire.
In full auto mode, it is easy to get the wow factor shots as well.
Video is a wonder as well.
Need a Black and White movie? Why yes, again, in full manual mode, you can.
There is only one drawback..
A monaural mic.
That is easily rendered moot by adding any stereo mic available to be kitted to the 60D.

Shoot both Jpeg and RAW, single and both at same time.
This Camera will go where ever you are ready to go..when you are ready to go.
The Battery life of the OEM battery is amazing!
As for bumps,and bruises..sadly i dropped it last week.
The material is physically discolored..that is it. The Camera works perfectly, the fall was onto the floor from the center console of a 11 F 250 onto the rubber floormat..a distance of around a foot.
It may not sound like much...but it did impact, and still works.
I would recommend this Camera to everyone.

My favorite camera so far

This is my 4th Canon SLR and I love it! I got the 60D when it launched and I have not been disappointed yet. It's a little heavy, but I expect that in a good product. I use it for weddings, portraits, landscapes, macro, travel, sports, everything. It goes with me everywhere I go. It's easy to use, there is a ton of different functionality so you can personalize it to your needs. Paired with the right lens you can capture absolutely amazing photos. I am more than pleased with this camera. I am sure there are bigger and better out there, but for the price and options it's a great investment!

Just OK

I was forced to purchase this after my 50D broke and by that time, that model was discontinued. My biggest gripe witht he 60D is the mirror shake. I do a lot of macro where the detail and sharpness really count and more often than not, the image is not crisp from the mirror vibration. It's on a tripod and I use a remote shutter release. There should be no blur.
It's terrible in low light situations, producing very noisy images. I also don't really know why Canon is such a big fan of the HD video. Unless you're doing interviews where the subject is stationary, it's pretty impossible to take usable video on this because while there is autofocus, it is not constant and is very slow. Canon, you should just stick to pictures. If someone wants video, they'll buy a camera specifically made for it.
Despite the gripes, I have been able to get some pretty decent pictures. The movable screen has helped in a few situations where I needed to put the camera over my head and needed to compose my shot or if I was on the ground taking a picture of a flower at an upward angle and couldn't look through the viewfinder.
Overall, I'm disappointed with the performance of it. This camera definitely wasn't worth what I paid for it. I can't wait until I can afford the 5D Mark III.

I personally enjoy the physical body of this Canon camera over the other cameras I own. And the adjustable display screen is also an extremely useful tool to have while filming or using a a tripod. Overall, I am quite satisfied with this Canon product so far!

Great camera

Even though I just got this camera I love it. There are so many features that it is not an easy camera to learn but my experiences with using the XT, XTi and Xsi have smoothed over the edges. I wouldn't have wanted to come into this camera cold. Before I actually got the camera I downloaded a pdf of the users guide. This is one of those rare times when I would advise anyone interested in this camera, or any of the advanced Canon EOS cameras, to READ THE MANUAL.

I recently received a Canon 60D for Christmas, replacing my Rebel Xti. This camera is brilliant! My favorite features include the ability to shoot in low light situations with ease, and the ability to shoot both jpg's and RAW in one shot is amazing! That battery power is also amazing. I spent two weeks on a Caribbean cruise, and took well over 250 shots, and still had half the battery life left. And the shots were crystal clear, using my two Canon zoom lenses.
Thanks, Canon, for a fine product. I can't imagine why Canon has stopped production of this camera!
