Review on Canon EOS 60D: 18MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera Body - Your Next Photography Companion by Athit Methasate ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I am not disappointed, the quality is satisfying.

Prior to that, I used a Canon SX100 (soap dish) in conjunction with a 450d SLR. Following the 450th, I was taken aback by an image that was noticeably superior in all aspects, including color depth, contrast, and the dynamic range of the matrix. After I switched to shooting in raw format and processed the images, the overall quality and color became much more impressive. The device performed admirably when paired with lenses such as the Canon 40mm f2.8, the 24-105mm f4 L, and the Sigma 50mm f1.4. Wonderful portraits started to emerge as Sigma was implemented. Nonetheless, there is not enough dynamic range for an evening landscape, therefore you need to take the picture at least in raw format, and it would be even better if you used exposure bracketing of +/- two steps. Also, it was successful in reportage shooting thanks to its excellent autofocus. Hence, he would live a happy and fulfilled life while also making use of this gadget; however, a bodily disaster would eventually befall him, and after that point, he would no longer be subject to repair. They made it seem like the Nikon 7000 would be a better choice for me. I put my hands on it and experimented with it; mechanically, I found it to be quite appealing; nevertheless, the color reproduction, clarity, and microcontrast of the photos were all absolutely unsatisfactory. I was tormented for half a year, looking for processing methods that would correct the picture. However, there was no satisfaction to be had from the pictures themselves; only from excellent mechanics. Hence, despite the fact that I was losing money on the resale, I made the decision to convert back to Canon. Nikon chose to keep it for reporting purposes just because the control is far more practical and efficient there. A couple of months ago, the idea was financially realized and the inspiration to shoot returned again - a beautiful picture, nice colors and sharpness again, sharpness returned!

Pros
  • Excellent visual quality overall! The autofocus works effectively and there is no smearing on the center sensor. Convenient menu. The upper control roller can be reached easily by placing your index finger on top of it.
Cons
  • The swivel screen is a delicate creature that pivots on a frail hinge. Just the video format requires this particular design. Additional Q button that has no purpose and is never utilized. Due to the recessed joypad inside the rotary ring, sometimes fuzzy switching, especially when pressed at 45 degrees when shifting the focus point. The shutter is slammed quite loudly and forcefully, especially by today's standards. Uncomfortably low (unlike Nikon) is the joypad and swivel ring on the back of the case. When pressed, the shutter button has a firm resistance, which might occasionally produce a commotion (unlike Nikon).
