I am an old 35mm slr film camera buff. Grew up on early model Minolta cameras. Enjoyed the format for many years, taking pictures of my time in the military,my family, and my chilren growing up. When the senior members of my family began dying off, my children grew up and became adults, and the cost of film,development and printing escalated, I lost interest. The digital age came along and I didn't like the small cameras and their viewfinders. Now I have grandchildren and am retired, taking pictures appealed to me again. A friend that I introduced to photography as a teen, and is now a professional photographer, encouraged me to consider getting back into photography.(the onetime student, is now my teacher). He suggested the Nikon 5100D and the Canon 60D, both with the 18-200mm lens. After checking both of the cameras, I like the fit, feel and features of the Canon. I have found it relatively easy to use and to learn to use it's many features. While still not acquainted with all it can do, it has rekindled my interest in photography. Will probably be taking some classes to learn some of the new techniques of digital photography. Don't want it said this old dog can't learn a few new tricks.Read full review
This is my first DSLR camera. having being using an old Yashica with film roles in Sri Lanka, to point and shoots, this camera manages to outclass all of the rest. First picture I took came out beautifully, making me proud of buying the camera. The basic zones are clutter free, easy to use, and for more advanced options there is a little learning curve. I'm a bit optimistic about the kit lens. The inbuilt camera functions are great and you don't need a lot to know about photography to take a pro quality photo. The flappy, twist screen is wonderful and colours are vibrant. It is visible in daylight. Flappy screen is also great for trying out new angles and exceptionally handy in video mode.
This camera has strengths and weaknesses like any, but depending on the application, this camera is a great! Very solid picture quality, but this camera is really the choice for amateur video producers who want depth-of-field in real progressive frames. This is the least expensive best quality camera if you want 1080p 24fps AND 720P 60fps on flash memory (with an articulated screen). There are a couple of 1080i and quasi-24fps (embedded inside of 60i) but it your shooting documentaries, music videos, short films, etc, and you are on a low budget, this camera is for you. Because its a dslr you will have to get some accessories to make it fully usable for video (stability, external mic), but a tripod is the cheapest way to go for steady shots. This is the little, little brother of the famous Canon EOS 5D, however the 60D is more like the 7D since it doesn't have the full-frame sensor. Some people complain about the build, but a metal build that people want in this camera, to me doesn't leave me wanting anything. However, the 60D and 7D I think have the same video quality, and just search either the 60D or 7D on Vimeo and you'll see the ability.Read full review
This is my first SLR. I love it for its autofocus speed and accuracy. Good image quality, and its resolution gives room for good crops. I shoot RAW and process it in Lightroom (which, by the way, I recommend to everybody). With this workflow I get very acceptable results even at 1600 ISO and no flash (thanks to LR's excellent noise reduction). Good build quality, the plastic cover (that is mentioned in every review as a negative point) is sturdy and good to hold. I have used it for children photography, zoo, nature, and have never let me down. I recommend it for casual photographers who have great amibitions.
The canon 60D is the perfect camera for anyone who loves photography and/or videography. With the canon's tilt/swivel screen it is easier to catch those hard low angle and high angle shots. The 60D's ability to capture full 1080HD video and have variable frame rates is a must for video. With the high 6400 ISO sensitivity (expandable to 12800 in customize menu) and 5.5fps it is a very nice arsenal to have for capturing those special moments. I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone who wants to take their photography to the next level.
