Excellent Starter DSLR for Serious Photographers
on March 13, 2011
Posted by: swpilot
from Phoenix, AZ
I am an avid fan of Canon and have owned Powershot S2 IS for the past 6 yrs and I must say this was a great step up DSLR for me. I am a pilot and love the lightweight and IS features of Canon over other brands. They simply are better. Along with the 67mm stock lens, all I needed was to purchase a wide-angle lens and a macro-lens to complete my kit. The LCD monitor is far superior and the buttons are just in right place for me. With a set of UV, Polarizer and Gradient filter and a lens hood, I am all set for landscape and macro photography. Well done Canon !!
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
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Performance and Features
on May 3, 2011

I got this camera half a week ago and so far, it is a beautiful one!
The 60D has good basic features such as the 18MP sensor and 5.3fps burst rate. The body tends to be a little handful for small hands (or those used to the smaller Rebel series) but I got used to it within 2 days or so. The menu and GUI is nicely organised and aesthetically pleasing.
Speaking of the menu - the camera comes with lots of nice other features, such as silent shooting and built-in wireless transmitter (yes!). The thick manual booklet was of great help for me to get started on the camera, for the buttons were positioned very differently compared to the 400D (Rebel XTi) that the 60D replaced.
The LCD screen, besides it being tiltable, is bright, vivid, and crisp. As advertised, +1 million dot resolution, and it is not easy to tell the difference between two pixels.
Overall, the 60D is a great mid-range DSLR, and I am very pleased with it so far. However, I will have to see how the polycarbonate resin body will do in case of future exposure to harsh shooting conditions.

More than I Expected
on August 18, 2011

This is my first DSLR, but not my first camera, nor my first Canon product. I am an accomplished amateur photographer. This camera replaces a Canon G9. This camera is more than I had hoped for. It's the best digital camera I have owned to date. The image clarity and quality is superb, sharp, and colorful. The camera does an excellent job of gauging exposure capturing shots that previous camera mus-judged and over/underexposed. Focus is lightning quick (using 18-135 IS kit lens). The viewfinder is nice and bright due to the pentaprism design and contains all the information you need about the shot. The tilt/swivel display is a great addition and very practical! Through the detailed menu system you have a number of choices of camera operation. You have a number of RAW and JPG mode choices, and 1080p video in a number of different modes. You will not be unhappy with your choice if you get the 60D.
Pros: good battery life, quiet, Nice features/settings, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, Simple controls/menu, easy to use

Great replacement for my analog rebel
on August 7, 2012

from SE Michigan
It performs great, excellent prints I shot beautiful wedding photos, with ease, and a bee on a flower at Niagara Falls that was as if I were right next to it, It took a while to get use to and a lot of reading, but the results were worth it, I was able to use my Rebel lens and things, so it makes a good conversion camera when I switched to digital. my old canon served me well, for near 20 years as an investigator, wedding photographer, and family photo, before it finally dying.
I love it

Excellent camera

I used this camera extensively on a recent trip to Europe and the photos I got were outstanding. It was easy to use, although a bit heavy to lug around. The lens I have for the camera allowed me to get crisp, clear shots of the mountains. I have a lot to learn about this camera. It has a lot of features that I haven't mastered yet, but the quality of the photos definitely is exciting. Looking forward to learning much more about this wonderful camera.
Pros: good battery life, quiet, Nice features/settings, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Solid Operation, Simple controls/menu, easy to use

Canon 60d is the greatest DSLR in its class...

from Valley Cottage, NY
So far this camera has met all my needs. I really like the shutter speed and response. Image color and quality are tremendous. I love the robust body and feel of the camera. Very easy to use the menus. The auto focus points work very well. The 5 plus frames per second is excellent especially that its continuous. It has amazing battery life. If there is a camera to be recommended it is this camera. I know this camera will suit my every need.
Pros: good battery life, quiet, Nice features/settings, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, Simple controls/menu, easy to use

Oldie but still performs quite well

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
