I wanted a professional level camera that I could use, even though my skill level was minimal. I'm NOT disappointed at all. I've had SO MANY compliments about the pictures I've taken of my grandkids' sports and school related activities that I "almost" feel like a professional. I've taken thousands of pictures over a couple of years and it's as solid today as it was when I first purchased it.
Pros: good battery life, quiet, Nice features/settings, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
The Canon EOS 60D is a wonderful find on my part. Yes I am a genius, in this purchase at least. This is the best EOS ever to my thinking, because you get a camera that competes with the more expensive models in quality of prints at a bargain price. Love It
Pros: good battery life, quiet, Nice features/settings, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use, easy to own
choosing 60d over 650d/700d, i think this cam still a good choice even though its old, i like the photos coming out of the camera sharp and good colors, top lcd is very useful i hardly use the lcd screen for changing my settings, i also like its ergonomics; you just have to be familiar with it and you'll see, also viewfinder really bright compare to cameras with pentamirror vf, last the battery life "very solid" you'll never worry about it; and you can focus on taking photos
Pros: good battery life, Nice features/settings, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
After having several digital cameras using lenses that start with N (my first digital camera used that lens mount) I am delighted to be back with Canon. This is really a good camera. I have used it for over three years now after having used a Hasselblad in the camera room for thirty years. This little jewel of a camera delivers very sharp photographs of both portrait and advertising subjects for me day after day, month after month. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Perhaps its most useful feature is one that is unique to this camera, at least it was, is its articulating screen. In a professional environment, where I photograph people, I often have people who want to see the screen. All I do is turn it around backwards, so it is out of view, and the question never comes up. Other than that I have used it to photograph the landscape, my passion, as well as limited wildlife and it performs with excellence. I often make prints to 24x30 and even 30x40 and they hold together very well. It is an excellent choice.
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images, articulating screen
I purchased the 60D after owning the 40D and 50D, and was a little worried about the smaller body not being as user friendly as the older, larger one. But I for one like it better than the old style. It still fits my hand very well and doesn't seem as heavy, bulky to wear around your neck all day. There really isn't much gain in the detail of the pics as compared to the 50D,but the low light performance is much better. I do miss the joystick some, but the touch pad works fine after you get used to it. I don't miss the focus microadjust. because I never had a lense that needed it. Overall I'm very happy with the 60D. It's more of a trim to the size, and doesn't feel like a totally different camera line.
Pros: good battery life, excellent image quality, Superior build quality
Got this to replace my XS. Excellent camera. Bought it refurbished and wouldn't hesistate to by another one from Adorama. Looking at lenses now. Shot over 1000 pictures in the last week and haven't had one problem.
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images
Bought this camera to upgrade from a Rebel XSi, and boy what a surprise. Camera is super fast, and pictures are pristine. The top display is really convenient, and the new camera software works great for frequently accessed menus and sub-menus.
Would deffinetly recommend as an upgrade over the T4i.
Have not used the Video portion of it, since Im not interested in this feature.
Pros: good battery life, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
