Canon EOS 60D 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (discontinued by manufacturer)

This is my first shift into an SLR. Ive owned other Canons for years, so it was no surprise that I liked it, but I still have been thrilled with this camera. It was a little hard to get used to the heft and Im still trying to find a way of carrying it, and the macro lens I bought, when hiking -- front packs are too long and I cant see my footing, etc. So on the bulk side Im still adjusting. But, in terms of just gorgeous pics, its been terrific. The only barrier for me with this camera is my own learning curve.

Ive been a lifelong Canon consumer and while not a pro photographer , I have enough experience after owning this camera for 6 months to know that there is enough built in capability with the 60d to put the burden of good photos squarely on the user. Sure, there are some deficiencies with the equipment to require workarounds, but its superb enough to make the photographers creative abilities the limiting factor, not the camera. Thats all you need you need to know before buying. For a reasonable price, you get enough cam and lens to do it all and more if you add a canon flash, and perhaps a specialty lens if you have a particular need. Other than that its a great package and I love to shoot with it. If you are used to the canon user interface, its very intuitive and in conjunction with some decent post processing software ( aperture for me), I can pretty much do it all. I highly recommend this package for photographers who love to shoot but dont do it for a living. I travel extensively, and love to have this as my main camera, and paired with a canon s95 pocket cam, Im always ready to capture the world visually. Hope this helps others like me that love to bring the world home with them. I also cant praise the s95 enough as a pocket cam, so look at that too.

Wishing to be a serious amateur photographer, and wishing to enter the world of digital photo, I spent three months researching practically every day to decide what equipment to buy. The market has great options, which makes the choice very difficult. Finally I chose the Canon 60D and I can say it was worth it!! It is an amazing camera that I recommend to all those keen amateurs like me, and even professionals. Bought with the 18-200 mm lens which is another wonderful thing, it is a kind of an All-in-1 in lenses. For all these reasons I strongly recommend buying this product !!!!!

I have owned a variety of Nikon DSLR cameras, but none of them would come close to my new Canon 60D camera. I love the lens. The capability of shooting photos at low light is amazing! Close-up shots are the best! I dont want to go through reviews as many others have already covered in their posts. It is just another good review on this particular camera. Buy it while you can! You wont regret it!

After a long search and reading many reviews I purchased this camera for a few reasons I will mention further down inthe review. My first camera was a Canon AE-1 i bought back in 79 and loved that camera growing up in high school and beyond. I recently have also purchased a couple Panasonic cameras as I think they have made great strides in the camera arena. I also have an FZ200 and a G5 which produce incredible IQ. I actually think its on par with this 60D but i wanted a camera with a top of the line senser to get good IQ at high ISOs and this one is it. My G5 also does well but the Canon performs and feel s like a pro DSLR and it is. he IQ is incredible, lots of manual controls and the manual for this thing is great with lots of easy to follow instructions on how to work the camera. It also focuses very fast for action shots and i find the top window info screen very helpful for changing some settings in a snap. The thing is built like a tank. I got a great deal on Amazon for a Used like new for $770 with the 18-135 lens which is also fantastic so i couldnt refuse. The main things I have to have in a camera (which this one had) are: - Great IQ - Articulating LCD - Viewfinder (hate taking photos looking at a screen.) A lot of cameras out there dont have an articulating LCD for whatever reason, well i know a lot of manufacturers like to keep the size of the camera down so they fix the screen to the back of the camera with no movement. I find that having this option opens up more possible photos from differnet angles and creativity. It really closed down my options and made it easy to select a camera. I probably would have had the Nikon D7000 if the LCD moved off tha back of the camera. I see a lot of reviews on YouTube making fun or having many people dismiss the LCD but I dont quite understand why. If you dont like it turn it around and keep it open on the back then its just like a fixed screen. It is also nice to close down the screen and face it towards the camera when closing to protect the screen. I wouldnt be able to use a fixed LCD when taking pictures of the moon or anything high in the sky at night using a tripod. Or.. if your in a crowded area and need to move the camera up or around someone to get a pic, or.. if you decide to take pics of the rich and famous you can put the camera at all sorts of angles and get that money shot of Brad Pitt tounguing Angelina and sell it for the price you paid for all your cameras.. :-) Anyway a great camera and I am enjoying Canon once again! *** Update January 15 ** Stll loving this camera and taking many shots with it. I have bought some lenses for it and have been using them for mostly action shots. I didnt get the L series lens becauee they are a bit too expensive for my budget but I did get the Canon ones which get great reviews for a mid grade type of lens. One lens everyone should have is the nifty 50 f1.8. I took some portrait shots with a softbox setup and holy cow the quality was amazing. The crispness and color rendition at f1.8 is flawless. I zoomed in all the way and had minimal noise if any at ISO 100. I mean if i had a cavity in my tooth i could see details on it, thankfully I dont :-) Action shots at the local park of birds and ducks was excellent also. Very happy, auto focus is resposive and spot on most of the time outside of user focus errors. :-)
