I decided to get the 60D for producing commercials and taking photographs on-location and in the studio of products and things. The main reason why I chose a DSLR for commercials is the quality you get with the large DSLR sensor and lens, and how portable they are. I was looking at the 7D but went down to the 60D because they both have the same 18MP sensor, the 60D has manual audio controls (7D doesn't), 60D has the tilt/swivel screen, and one thing that isn't put out there is the 60D has a much smoother exposure adjustment when zooming during videos compared to the 7D, so you can actually get away with slow zooms with a variable aperture lens without the harsh exposure adjustments.I have shot a few commercials so far and the quality is amazing. I had used a Sony HVR-V1U before and the difference is definitely worth the investment. The Canon 60D is really great in low light, has great color and contrast, a really nice shallow DOF, an all-digital work flow, and my favorite thing over standard video cameras is I can use any lens I have to make a shot possible. No need for wide angle adapters that distort your image and degrade quality, I just swap out the lens for a wide angle lens. And that even gives you the chance to get great video in even LOWER light conditions with all of the low F-stop lenses out there.As for the photography side it is also great. The kit lens works quite well, the high ISO capabilities are really helpful and the noise isn't too bad, the AF engine works really well (I actually like it more than the new one found on the 7D), and the on board art filters are pretty cool. Continuous shooting is fast but not as fast as the 7D, but I can take that hit for the improved video functionality.Overall if you're looking for a DSLR and want to do a lot of video work on top of photography, I would suggest the 60D more than the 7D or 550D (T2i) by far. It is a great camera and for half the price of a professional camcorder you get better a much higher quality image.P.S. - One thing some people don't know about filming with a DSLR is they can overheat if you continuously film (live events) and will shut off to protect themselves. Files are limited to 4GB a piece (about 10 min), so if you want to do live event videography I would not suggest a DSLR. But if you're doing scripted material with multiple takes, where you can just stop and start another file, you should have no issues.

Received my Canon EOS 60D 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR camera on day expected. The camera is great and does everything I want it to do and more. I'm still learning how to use it but so far everything works just as expected. I chose this camera for its 18 MP resolution plus the LCD Monitor live viewer. It's been a neck killer to try to arrange a shot using the viewfinder eyepiece on my old EOS 20D camera when using a tripod and this new camera's LCD Monitor live view shooting is a vast and welcome improvement. I already have lenses from my older camera so was able to purchase body only option. The price from Platinum World was much lower than other online offers so I'm very pleased with that as well.

Last year I struggled as to whether I should get the new (at that time) T3i or the 60D. I bought the T3i & was very happy with it. The T3i is also a terrific camera, but the 60D is all that and a great deal more. Recently I had the need to get another camera and went with the 60D. If I knew then what I know now, I'd probably have two 60Ds. The relatively small difference in size & weight really doesn't come close in describing the much more robust feel when handling the 60D. It truly feels like a pro camera, although it's not quite considered a professional model. Just pick the camera up and you'll immediately see what i mean.The increase in frames per second, ability to process RAW images in-camera, better AF and many other nice features also set the 60D apart from other Rebel models. This is truly a great camera.

I needed a backup for my 5d Mark 2 and considered another 5dm2 a 5dc 5 7d and the 60d. After reading many reviews and seen some samples online I finally decided on the 60d.After exactly 6 month now I can said it was a good choice. While all the other are great camera as well the features and price of the 60d are a great value. I haven't use it for video just stills and it just a great camera.

I bought this camera last week and it's awesome. Picture quality is great, color is great, it's fast. I've been using the Canon Rebel XT/350D, but I wanted to upgrade to something better. I'm a budding professional photographer, but my business hasn't really picked up yet, so this is a great economic choice for an upgrade.Things to keep in mind before purchasing:1. Does not use CompactFlash memory cards like most other Canon models right now;2. Camera Raw is not compatible with Photoshop CS4 or older;3. *MAC USERS* CameraRaw files are NOT compatible with OSX 10.5 or whatever Leopard is. There is an update you can download from Apple, but it only works if you have and older version of Aperture or iPhoto 8. My Mac is from 2007, so I have an older version of iPhoto and there is no update for that. You can purchase a Snow Leopard upgrade for $30.00, but I haven't done that yet, and I don't know if that will upgrade my iLife programs as well, making Camera Raw files readable.These are things I wish I'd known before I purchased the camera. Canon says it's compatible with OSX 10.5, and the JPEG files are, but they don't advertise that CR files require OSX 10.6, as well as the newest version of PS. :/ I'm a little frustrated since I just laid out a grand, and now I'll have to spend another $250 to upgrade everything else. Add that to the new memory cards I need to buy (which I knew about, so no mark against that), and I might as well have bought the 7D.But, if you know all of this going in and don't mind it, it's a really great camera. I love the swivel LCD screen. I don't really like the fun creative functions too much, as the effects can be created with much better quality using PS, but a novice user might enjoy them.Layout wise, it's very clean and intuitive. The menu is easy to navigate, the navigation buttons and wheels are great. Personally, I don't like that the main dial is always locked, but I can see why it's a plus for most people. AF is efficient, no complaints there. I notice a LOT of noise at higher ISOs with basic editing, which I had read wasn't a problem, so I'm guessing that it's probably incorrect settings on my end, or the fact that I can't edit RAW yet. We'll see.Aside from the additional costs of upgrading my computer and software, it's a 1000x improvement over my old Rebel.

My last EOS camera was a 20D and have upgraded to the 60D. I have been looking at the 7D and 60D features and reviewed performances from DPREVIEW.com and also from the-digital-picture.com These 2 sites have detailed review notes and explains their process for doing their tests.The feature I liked most were the auto ISO and swivel screen. I am aware that using the swivel screen (invoked by live view mode button) to focus is slow, but since i do not do sports shooting that much nor do I take pictures as a profession, I will use the live view mode when I want to see the image on a 3 inch screen rather than on the eye view finder. I am very happy with it, it allows me to shoot at body level.The next feature that I never had on my 20D is the auto IS0, I noticed on my indoor shots the ISO will be at 3200, even when I am at Aperture priority set at 2.8. The picture quality is not that grainy. I noticed that with the blu ray movies i have seen that the low light scenes are also grainy but it captures the mood of the available light. I like this feature because I will get the right exposure always without manually setting the ISO.I bought the 60D over the 7D because I was trying to use the savings to buy a better flash and a vertical grip and also a remote switch. I also forego the compact flash I already own in favor of the SDXC format since I only have 3 CF memory cards.Of course the 7D is more money because it is more durably built and has more features that I may not need on most occasions. Example would be the more added weather sealing, more cross points focusing, alloy body, AF lense adjustment. For me this is minor, and same is tru for the mouse that I have grown familiar with. I am not bothered with using the new mouse.With the 60D, I have the features I want and allow me to buy the vertical grip and upgraded flash and remote switch with the savings from not getting the 7D. Owning a DSLR is costly if one wants the best, and the 7D is one of the best.

This camera is a smaller version of the 7D and competes very well against the newer Nikon D7000.The material is polycarbonate, which is cheaper but strong enough and lighter than metal. Ergonomics is very good, if you get used to relying on right hand to control almost everything. Performance is snappy, instant lock on under most cases, with 9 AF points being cross type. Battery is identical to the one used in 7D and the 5D Mark II, translating to excellent life. Image quality is very high, slightly "darker" than the T2i. Low light / ISO performance is nearly as good as my Nikon D7000, and considering it is $300 cheaper, this is a great camera. I don't use the flip screen for video, but I do use it for instant feedback when I take pictures of myself using a remote and a tripod - very handy. Depending on your perspective, this screen can be a liability since it is not as sturdy as a flat/fixed screen.Kit lens (18-200mm) is capable but is not very strongly built. My copy has focus hunting issues.

I got this camera because I wanted to shoot photos and videos. This would be my first DSLR purchase. So, I was debating between a T2i (550D), a T3i (600D), and a 60D.At the time, the T3i was least appealing to me because it was close in price to the 60D yet didn't pack as many features. I won't list all the technical differences, but:1. the 60D is physically larger.2. The 60D uses an lp-e6 battery which holds more power than the lp-e8.3. The 60D has a scroll wheel that, for me, is more desirable than the clickable button interface found on the T3i and T2i. This makes navigating menus and manually changing the aperture a breeze.4. The 60D also had a display interface on top of the camera. This would come in less handy than I had expected. But... I rely on this display when I am doing astrophotography.So these are the main differences between the 60D and T3i that appealed to me. The conclusion was: for me, the 60d is a way better value than the T3i. So now I had to decide if I wanted to save some money and go for a T2i. This debate didn't last long. After some feedback from people who use the camera for video, it was concluded that the tilt/swivel LCD was awesome.And indeed it is. I use the swivel feature, as well as the scroll wheel the most. When I use this camera, I feel it is much closer to a 7d than to a T2i. But I don't like comparing the 60d to either of those camera. The 7d is a rugged beast that is perfect entry for professionals, and the T2i is probably the best bang for your buck you can get in the canon DSLR line.

All details has already been writen. I've been taken pics of amateur baseball games and I recommend this purchase 100%.Speed of focus and shooter is great.Cons: heavy if you take it to, for example, Universal Studios, Six Flags, Disneyland, where I prefer a point-and-shoot.

This is my first product review and I'm going to make this brief. Hopefully this will help someone who is undecided between the Canon T3i and the 60D. I last used a 35mm SLR about 15 years ago. I was used to being able to quickly and easily adjust aperture, iso and shutter speed. Since then I've used a progression of Canon digital point and shoots. When I got the T3i I was expecting a similar experience to my SLR days, but was sorely disappointed. To make changes with the T3i, you have to navigate through a difficult to use menu one the LCD display. With the 60D you're able make those changes much more easily without using the LCD menu. The small screen on top of the camera is a big help and displays the current settings. Otherwise the two cameras are capable of taking the same quality photographs.If you can, I would suggest trying both cameras out and seeing which you're more comfortable using.Pros for the 60D: Change settings more quickly, longer battery lifeCons for the 60D: Heavier and more expensivePros for the T3i: Lighter and less expensive.Cons for the T3i: More difficult to navigate menu and change settings, also shorter battery life

This is our second SLR Camera from Canon and EOS 60D is an excellent camera which is a perfect fit for anyone who is looking for a decent DSLR which can be used for taking professional looking photos and Hi-Def Videos.I did some extensive research before buying this model from Canon and I am thankful for the reviewers on Amazon who helped me making my decision. The Amazon community is one of most helpful group of people which differentiates Amazon from any other online retailers. - Thank you again.There is already a ton of reviews on this product here on Amazon and I do not want to repeat myself with the features and functionality of the product. All I can say is "This camera takes beautiful photos PERIOD".This camera was a gift for my wife on her Birthday and she is now a happy camper!Happy Dance!Cheers!

I bought the 60D because I wanted a descent DSLR that is equally good in taking photos and video. After hours and hours of research I went for the 60 because all reviews said if you want both that's it.well, the photos come out as expected even though it takes a while of digging through all the settings before finding what works best from all the menu options if you want the camera to do certain things.Where I'm disappointed is with the video function. Sure it does HD and if you focus before you start recording the quality comes out as promised. But forget about focused videos if you want to zoom or change distance to the object while filming. It doesn't autofocus!!! You can press the shutter release half way to refocus but the autofocus struggles to regain focus for a few seconds and is noisy. And of course it records this pitiful attempt.I was hoping to replace my 8y old Panasonic miniDV video camera with this camera plus my failing point&shoot without having to buy a still camera & a video camera again but I guess this is not it to do so. Since the T2 and T3 have the same photo quality you may go for these cheaper models (with the same major components) and buy a dedicated video camera for the savings that will do a better job than the 60D.

Purchased the EOS 60D with 18-135 lens kit based on so many good comments.What a mistake! On the first day of test using fully automatic setting, I noticedgradual distortion between 28 mm to 18 mm at ISO 100 to 400. Noticeble distortion begin to appear near the center focus at 28 mm and worsens when widening to 18mm.I did a quick seach on the web for 60D distortion, CNET has a review reporting same issue with unkind comments:[...]The reviewer used a statue which for an untrained eye is very difficult torecognize and appreciate the distortion. In my case, I used vertical blinds as test object.At ISO less than 400, a $1200 DSLR should be prefect in every shot. A $1200 DSLR has near center distortion is completely unacceptable!The EOS utility 2.10.2.0 is useless when used with Windows 7 pro. I have to take my old XP out of garage attic to get the photos off the new 60D and play with its remote features.60D takes great looking picures, but are they truthful? No metter how good, how expensive the construction feels; a camera's top priority is taking realistic photos. PERIOD.

This is my first extended experience with a digital DSLR. Learning the menu and button system has been fairly easy and intuitive. In addition to the kit lens, I'm using a couple of old lenses from a 35mm film camera so that has added a bit to the learning curve. If one wishes to use this camera in the fully auto mode, the result will be excellent images. If, however, you like to experiment in the manual mode the images will be equally excellent but you'll have more fun.The kit lens has limited low light capabilities but that should be obvious by the f stop rating. In normal day light it is very good in most situations.The only fault I have found so far is the awkward placement of the movie start/stop button. It would be easier for me to use if located closer to the shutter button. That, however, is a pretty minor complaint to and otherwise fine camera.All in all it is an excellent value and will exceed the capabilities for all but the most advanced amateur or professional.

I was first introduced to the DSLR with the Rebel XS a few years ago, and after having lost that camera, I went the past 18 months or so without a DSLR. I have been a little disappointed with the "hole" in my digital photos where I've only used point and shoot cameras (and my phone) to take pictures of my 2 kids (4 and 7). I researched for months and was pretty well focused on the T3i most of that time, until I saw a video rundown that convinced me that the 60D is worth leapfrogging the T3i. For just a little more money, you get a respectable amount more camera. I have since spent a little time with a T3i, and I am very glad I went with the 60D. Most of all, though, in comparison to the old Rebel I had, it feels like I've graduated to a "big boy" camera. It is larger, fits in the hand much more comfortably, and the dial on the back (vs. the Rebel line's 4-way buttons) is not to be underestimated. Also, the video on this thing...wow.I can't wait to buy "gifts" for this camera (new lenses) and watch my photography improve.

I am writing this review for those of you who are looking at buying this camera or the T3i.There are so many similarities, but there is one big difference that made my decision for me. Size and build. I purchased the T3i - I have larger hands then some girls but no bigger then a normal guy- and I just felt completely cramped. The T3i felt chintzy and like a toy. The 60d has some weight- doesn't feel like it is going to break - and most importantly to me, has the wheel on the back that allows you to change setting without having to look at the screen (or even the on camera display.) The T3i had these horrible little arrows that you have to press that made me feel arthritic. Also- the 60d shoots fast. Though I think the sensor is probably comparable if not the same- I just could not see myself ever feeling comfortable using a T3i like I am with the 60d. I previously owned the 40d- and loved it- the 60d has only improved by adding video and a flip out screen. It is an excellent camera- the battery lasts and lasts and the camera just makes sense and feels good. I am so glad I spent the extra 100 and got a real tool.

I say Lovin Life because I love this Camera, I have researched it and believe it to be the best camera for the money. Great image quality, Color, perfect size etc. The "but" part of my assessment refers to the ultimate quest to take full advantage of this camera.....Lenses. I heard the best idea is to buy quality "glass" and that's what I did. $$$$$$ While actually an investment (these lenses hold their value) You can easily get caught up in expensive "glass" but ultimately it's worth it....if you can afford it.

After looking at all my options for nice DSLR with many features that shoots amazing video, I settled on the Canon 60D. After looking at all the possibilities I narrowed it to five different choices: the Canon 5D MII, Canon 7d, Canon 60D, and Nikon D7000. The Canon 5D MII does have the full frame sensor which is very nice but personally this was more than I wanted to spend. I originally went with the T2i because it uses the same sensor as in the 7D and the 60D. It has great image and video quality for the price but the audio and tendency to overheat quicker than others caused me to return it. The inability to remove the auto gain control on this camera ruins it without buying a separate $300+ audio device. Even with the best mic on earth the AGC kills any chance of using the audio by filling it with hissing sounds. After returning the T2i I was debating between the 60D the 7D and the Nikon D7000. The 7D is a better camera for shooting stills than either of the other two but has no advantage over the 60D in video. Actually it has less features than the 60D does for video and it also has the dreaded AGC issue. So I basically was deciding between the Nikon D7000 and the 60D. Nikon most certainly had the better build quality and it also handles higher ISO settings a bit better. The new auto focus has like 3 million auto focus points all over the viewfinder which is very nice as well but Nikon once again falls short of Canon in the video department. The lack of a 60 fps option means that you will not be able to have decent smooth slow motion with the D7000. It does have auto focus while shooting video but after trying this out myself it is basically useless. You will spend more time and effort trying to get the auto focus to work right than just manually focusing yourself. Its manual sound control only has 3 settings of high medium and low unlike the 60D vast control over the audio. The articulating screen on the 60D really does help while trying to get odd angle shots and for shooting home movies. I do wish that Canon had kept the build quality that the 50D had with this model but it is still a solid camera loaded with tons of extras for the price. Hands down it is the best DSLR for video. The picture quality is also very nice. This camera really does pack a punch and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to getting in to DSLR video.

I know there's a lot of debate and talk out there in regards to the Canon T2i, 7D, and 60D. On top of that there's a lot of criticism that the 60D has been dumbed down from the PROsumer aspects of the X0D family.Well, I'm moving up to this from my old 20D, so I really have no complaints. I was mainly worried about the move away from the Magnesium Alloy body, but it really doesn't seem to be that big of a deal for me since I'm usually not roughing it when taking photos. Overall, the camera feels very similar to all other X0D's that have come before it.Photo quality and video quality is A+. Can't go wrong there. It's the same sensor that's in the 7D and T2i. I was considering the 7D, but I really don't need the drive speed and I really wanted the swivel screen. More autofocus points would have been nice, but I'm good with what this camera provides.The only real con, and this is true of all curren Canon SLRs that shoot video or that have live mode, is that there is poor live-view auto focus. It's slow. It's almost annoyingly slow. I don't use auto-focus when shooting photos, so it's not that big of a deal. BUT...for videos, it's pretty dreadful. Since there is no continuous auto-focus, shooting certain scenes require using manual focus. It's definitely not like shooting with a camcorder. If you're shooting serious footage and are more into shooting cinematic style shots (fix focal length clips), then this is not a big deal. If you want to shoot family videos, it's okay, but don't expect to zoom in on something in the middle of recording and have the camera automatically focus the subject for you. Also if you're shooting a subject where the focal distance is constantly moving...this camera will not work that great...but once again, this is true of all Canon SLRs at this time...as well as all Nikon's...atleast until the D7000 is released.As to should I wait for the Nikon vs this Canon or any other Canon...for me it was easy. I purchased into the Canon system a while back and have a bunch of Canon lenses. Nikon's are nice too and I'm not a fanboy of either. If you don't have any lenses...get whatever floats your boat....you can't lose these days with either brand. If you're thinking about getting a Sony Alpha or any other SLR...well it's a =( for you!!
