very happy with this!

Just recently bought the refurb'd 60D. Already extremely happy with the purchase. I'm upgrading from a T3i. Everything from how the camera feels to image quality is better. I know both cameras have the same sensor, but the 60D images are still better than the Rebel's.
First, the camera fills my hand better and feels more balanced.
Second, I love the more choices for ISO selection.
Third, even though there are still only 9 focus points, they are all cross type points on the 60D.
Fourth, looking through the pentaprism viewfinder is so much nicer than on the Rebel, and the focus points are a lot more visible. Also, when I preview a picture on the LCD it highlights which focus point I used.
Last, and this may sound weird, but the shutter sound on the Rebel just sounded kind of cheap and "chirpy". I really like the way the 60D sounds and it also has quiet mode as well for sensitive situations.

A wonderful DSLR camera, mediocre to poor support utilities.
Love learning more about my 60D, however on a Mac, EOS version 2, the photo transfer program, has an annoying "feature". Every time you manually run the program it insists on re-installing itself in the Mac's bootup "Login Items" list running in the background whenever the mac is booted. This degrades OSX reliability, is a security issue...yada yada and is not what this user wants EOS to do. It can not be disabled in EOS preferences, forcing the user to enter System Preferences to manually delete EOS from the Login Items list... every time... a pain. Looking for a replacement photo transfer program and will inform Mac and photography website forums about this program's un-user-friendly behavior.
Otherwise I love my 60D and have carried it on travels to 3 continents.

Canon is the best

Since I've been using my Canon EOS 60D, I've always shot Manual, Raw, and on a Tripod; shooting with this Canon gives you all of that and more. The operation of this camera is very easy (just remember to read your manual and shoot every day); controls are logically placed to where they are most convenient to the photographer to use, even while looking through the viewfinder setting up the shot. The resolution given by the 18 mega pixel sensor is outstanding (it definitely shows in the work I've done in school with this camera). With this Professional Canon camera you can't go wrong.

60D - SD Card Reader Issues
on June 2, 2014
Posted by: ZVD
from Chicago, IL
I have used Canon SLR cameras for the last 20 years, upgrading about every 4 years to a newer model. My most recent purchase was the 60D. I love the ability to shoot video through this camera. I think the image quality is very good, but would like to have an auto focus feature when shooting video.
Like many others who have purchased the 60D, my camera is no longer working. The card reader stopped working. This is unacceptable given the price I paid and the associated expectations. After researching the issue over the internet I understand that this is a common problem.
Pros: good battery life, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Simple controls/menu
Cons: Poor build quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
