Canon EOS 60D 18MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS UD Standard Zoom Lens Canon EOS 60D 18MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS UD Standard Zoom Lens

Pros: Pictures are stunning, makes me look like a pro! Tons of extra features and photo editing software

Cons: none

Pros: The swivel screen is the selling point for me. I have an older Canon point and shoot with the swivel screen, and almost never use the viewfinder. Auto bracketing, huge amount of control, Canon quality and bunch of camera specific pointers on Youtube. Best swivel screen camera made, that I know of. Pro-ish movie mode.

Cons: Not the greatest auto focus but more than passable. The price seems a bit steep, even when you pit it against other Canon DSLRs. Has features most might not use or need. Seems like you pay a lot for the swivel screen but its a darn good one. ( almost a million pixels.

Other Thoughts: I just wanted a great camera for snapshots and some macro fun. I have a slug of old SLR lenses that are still great but I hate film. I have taken some great pictures with the kit lens and my old lenses with an M42 adapter. Its a crop sensor camera but still think a pro could get his moneys worth out of it. Team it up with Adobe Lightroom software and you will blow yourself away.

Pros: Camera build quality, button location, flip out screen, the way it feels in the hand, high megapixel count, live view, it's a Canon.

Cons: High ISO means nothing when the result is garbage. I actually owned two of these, after returning the first one. It wasn't a fluke. The average consumer might not notice this, but a professional should. And manual mode only produced very average results at best.

Indoors with all the lights on, it would jump up to ISO 1600 (full auto setting). Yet, in a side by side comparison, my XTI would sit comfortably at 400 ISO. Why the difference? Manual settings with the exact same lenses between the two produced nearly identical images. The 60D was not perceptibly better. Actually, the 60D was still overly bright/noisy in comparison. For a brand new camera to produce results similar to, let alone worse than, a 6 year old camera is hugely disappointing.

Auto focus was not great either. Images weren't crystal clear. Colors not defined well.

Video is still not advanced enough yet to be more than a gimmick. Manually focusing video is frustrating. Makes the video feature almost useless.

Other Thoughts: For someone's first DSLR, I imagine this would do just fine.

But it's no upgrade.

Pros: Nice camera, very simple, many mode, and good package, i take on website SDXCPRETEC 64G for my futur movie HD.

I'm very happy

Cons: THANK YOU NEWEGG, I RECEIVE MY CAMERA ON 1 DAY ONLY, THANK YOU FOR THE REALLY BEST DEAL, SERIOUS WEBSITE.

Pros: I cannot complain about the quality of the photos. They are magnificient!

Cons: Camera freezes up after taking several shots. When in the review mode, ALWAYS freezes. I am using Canon lenses. I am using a class 10 memory card. I purchased it on January 31, 2011 and sent it to be repaired a couple of weeks ago. When it was shipped back to me, the problems still existed. I always have to turn off the camera, take out the battery, and removed the card. Sometimes when I turn the camera back on, it will not come on. I get no error messages. I still have to send this camera back to get it repaired again! I am very disappointed with this camera. I spent hard earned money to purchase this camera and wish I could have known then what I know now. Lesson learned!

Other Thoughts: I did not purchase this camera through NewEgg. I wish I had purchased it here! I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with NewEgg!

Pros: FAST shots in portrait settings. SUPER fast in action settings - download the manual and read up. This thing is awesome. Combo of body and lense much cheaper than separate purchases. Batteries without LiveView is well over 1000 shots easy.

Cons: Can't replicate actual human beings, but comes close.

Other Thoughts: Transcend 16GB Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) Flash Card Model TS16GSDHC10 (Class 10) works extremely well and keeps up with even the highest shot rate. Buy two, because you will take hundreds of shots before you know it.

Pros: Easy to use, feels solid and takes great photos. The auto-iso feature is terrific & solves a problem I had frequently. Since I like perspective shots, the twist-out LCD is a great feature.

Cons: On the t1 it was pretty easy to set exposure bias; the 60D controls are changed a little and it's not as simple anymore. Aside from that I have no complaints.

Other Thoughts: I totally understand the poor reviews this camera gets from 50D and 7D owners. It's not really an upgrade from those cameras. If you're upgrading from a Rebel, though - like I did - this is an awesome buy.

Pros: Fast speed, vast menus. The body fits my [somewhat] large hands much better than the T2i. Cheaper than the 7D with almost all the features.

9 cross-style AF points beats the Rebel series but the 19 points of the 7D would have been nice...

Low light performance from the stock lens is unbelievable (for an inexperienced user like me). ISO noise is quite manageable with anything at 1600 or less. Even 3200 is only mildly noisy. I almost never work greater than 3200, as the noise picks up severely at that point.

Stock lens is quite good for general shooting. Zoom range is fantastic, and you can work around the distortion by use of the DPP software included. IS is quiet and works very well. AF is snappy and seemingly accurate.

DPP software bundled with the camera is a great RAW processing software. I have PS Elements 9 which also does RAW editing and I use both for different reasons.

18MP Yay?

Cons: 18MP boo.

OK, I'll clarify - you need good glass to get around the really great sensor. I am not a pro nor am I rich so it's stock glass for me. That said, still amazing.

Flash is anemic. I haven't bought one as [again] I'm not rich but plan on it if you do much low-light shooting.

The burst rate with RAW images fills the buffer FAST - plan on an expensive SD card. My class 6 Transc* 16GB card does not allow even 720p video capture - must go down to 480 to capture any amount of data. May be a defective card, though...haven't tried any other class 6 cards yet.

Other Thoughts: With the stock lens (18-135mm) I usually shoot at F8 and get crisp images. Just my experience. F16 & higher gets diffraction (fuzzy edges) in all my mid-cost lenses. Know that Av & Tv modes assume fill-style flash, so it will meter as if no flash was present. Expect long shutter speeds in Av in low light & flash. Set to Manual and set T=125 or 80 and your F=8 and you will be fine with the flash. I'm sure someone more experienced has a better setup but that has worked fine for me.

As for movies, this is not a video camera. Well, at least for me. If I wish to capture movies I will probably buy a dedicated setup. I'm sure this camera is capable, but you must work or be quite talented to extract video that is worth anything. No [usable] AF during video means MF all the time, which may be easy for some...not me.

I went from an S3 IS to this and the upgrade is staggering. It has made capturing images so much more fun, and I thought it was fun before.

Pros: Great video. Great stills. Great in low light, great in medium light, great in great light. Lots of lens choices from Canon and elsewhere.

So easy even a Caveman can use it. So sophisticated even a photography snob can use it.

Cons: 18-135mm Zoom Lens is NOT a varifocal. It will not maintain focus while zooming. This is fine for stills (which is what this camera is designed for) but for video you will have to zoom and then focus.

I know this was probably a controversy 20 years ago but I still feel a need to complain that my old Canon FD lenses will not work properly (even with an adaptor) on the EOS system.

Other Thoughts: I've been away from SLR technology for almost 20 years. My last SLR was a Canon A-1. The lenses back most "modern" lenses were vari focal. The new lenses aren't and there's a reason for that. Today we have auto focus - so lens designers don't care if a lens stays focus while you zoom since the moment you snap the picture the auto focus will, well, focus.

I also bought a 60D for my son for Christmas so he can pursue his interest in video production and photography.

Pros: Good service, rapid response, Good working manner! I am sure to buy anything I need from Newegg all of the time! Thank you very much

Cons: Good service, rapid response, Good working manner!
