Great but could have been excellent!
I have been shooting with D-SLR cameras for over 5 years now - from Olympus, to Canon, Nikon and back (once and for all) to Canon.
- swivel screen: so convenient and sharp. video and still photography really come alive.
- ergonomics: perfect one-handed operation and usage; never missed a shot looking for a button
- autofocus: fast and precise. I wish for a few more cross-type points though. ability to take action shots and low-light photography is very good
- burst mode: ~5fps is good but a bit dated
- image quality: stellar, even at ISO 3200. the output is super smooth, dreamy, and yet sharp - well done Canon
- metering: accurate and not too conservative. partial and spot are my favorites
- video: amazing quality and renders great on my 1080p TV
- view finder: that is my only gripe. should have been 100% with optional grid, like the 7D or Nikon cameras.
- menu: fast to cycle thru options and very readable
- flash: good and wireless built-in. no focus assisted lamp though and strobing is required, bummer
- build: not alloy-mag like 50D, but that's what I like. the light weight makes it easier for me to hand-hold steady
- lens: with 18M pixels, you need good glass to resolve that sensor's resolution. I have the EF 50mm f/1.4 and it is spectacular on that camera.
Overall, the 60D is a very good and fun camera to use; I would have given it a 5-star rating if the view finder was improved.
As a potential buyer, you are most likely going to hesitate between that camera and the Nikon D7000. Here is my take:
- image quality: 60D. both produce excellent images but Canon's a bit smoother and sharper (at default settings)
- metering: 60D. I find real world images being (slightly) more accurately exposed with the 60D than the D7000.
- view finder: D7000, a real joy to compose with it
- autofocus: 60D; all 9 points are cross type and arranged in a diamond vs. tightly packed at the center for the D7000
- LCD: 60D, both the resolution and the swiveling are a real marvel
- build: D7000 due to its alloy-mag, but the 60D's is no slouch and seems pretty well-built and strong
- burst mode: D7000 has a slight edge there but its buffer is smaller than the 60D's; you need to weight the pros/cons based on your needs
- flash: D7000 due to the AF lamp assist
- ergonomics: 60D but that is a personal choice of course. hold both cameras and play with settings and menus
- software: 60D. no need to buy a RAW editor or remote shooting software, Canon's are top-notch and free!
