I've wanted a DSLR for years, but couldn't justify the price for a "hobby" item. Canon discontinued the 60D with 18Mp sensor this past year to replace with the 70D with 21Mp sensor. I have big hands and long fingers, and the 60D body was much bigger than the EOS series so it is more comfortable to hold and operate in my hands. The price I paid was less than 1/2, more like 1/3 normal MSRP. The 60D is rated at 100K shutter activations, and this one was barely used at only 2500 as stated by the seller, verified myself with a separate program once I received it! This is the USA model with Titanium body vs. the Euro/Turkey with Plastic body! I acquired a couple of inexpensive Canon lenses....18-55 macro/zoom, and a 55-250 zoom, both with auto focus and image stabilization. The autofocus is quite quick and accurate, and adjustable in the zones within the viewfinder. I'm looking forward to many years and thousands of photos worth of enjoyment. Read full review

This is a step up from my last camera. There is a bit of a learning curve, but it is worth every penny so far. Great resolution, able to get tack sharp photos with the 55 - 250mm kit lens. Long battery life. Nice review screen. Controls are placed in convenient spots for easy access. I like the fact that I can use the review screen for low macro shots in camera live mode. My old DSLR was only 8 MP, this one is 18 MP and the difference is incredible. I haven't found the negative yet with this camera.

I've been a canon camera buyer for over 45 years and none of my canon cameras from the film cameras (e.g., Ae-1, FTB, rebel, several point and shoot cameras, EOS etc., ) to my digital and video cameras have failed me. My 60D works very well in low light and shoots well with the built in flash. Shooting sports is fun again and candid shoots of my grandbaby without the flash is great. I now use my 40D as a backup. I've tried Nikon products but i always gravitate back to canon. My friend, a professional photographer swears by Nikon but admits my photos with the canons are excellent. My wife likes Sony....but you can't win over everyone..my photos are much better than her Sony shoots...smile..My lens from my EOS Elan film camera works well with the 60D so I didn't need to buy new lens. I know canon will come out with a new 70D but I'm happy with the 60D and it's going to be hard for canon to make me put the 60D in the backup position. I bought the 60D because of the HD video and the swivel viewfinder. Love it...I must admit I have to get use to the on-off switch on the photo selection dial. Battery life is great.Read full review
This camera takes great pictures. It is pretty easy to pick up and use, there is an auto mode. Lenses can be either auto or manual focus, so it is flexible. Once you get a good feel for how to use the camera some of the other features it offers is awesome and truly lends itself to more of a professional camera. My wife told me she would probably never use it as it was to much for her. She has since played with it taking pictures of our son and uses/knows way more than I do. She absolutely loves it. Its great for hiking, family pictures, sports, you name it.

Great camera. Excellent ergonomics and feel. Excellent control over exposure. Just enough pixels. Just enough video capability. But most of all, a very reliable still photo camera that does the job every day. Good battery life. While I have newer, more expensive cameras, this one is a joy to use and I prefer it over the newer, supposedly more capable models. Think about it : you need to adjust ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed, with occasional exposure compensation and flash output compensation - and all of my cameras do that. I do not need or care about Wi Fi or phone app control - that is nonsense - the camera has its own controls and they work swell. Why get all complicated trying to run it with a cell phone - nuts. This is a good, solid, accurate camera. What more do you need? Pick one up used with a clean sensor and you have all the camera you need. JR Read full review
