Review on International Version Canon EOS 60D 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens Kit by Avut Prapratchob ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is top notch and I recommend the product for purchase.

When switching from Canon 1000D, I chose between 50D and 60D. So: 50D has been tested for years (body, matrix, fine tuning for lenses), while 60D has a swivel screen, wireless control of external flashes, video recording, the latter became decisive for me, and 60D won. Now impressions: 1. I have an official guarantee , manufacturer Japan, and as a result - all lenses became like native ones, i. E. no back, front focus; 2. Due to all the cross-shaped points, and the central one at f / 2.8, the number of misses has sharply decreased - the Canon 50 f / 1.8 stopped missing at an open aperture, which it could not achieve at 1000D; 3. Matrix - fears about the "looseness" of the pictures were not confirmed if you shoot "according to the rules" - the picture is sharp, "dense" and at 18 MP, and the contrast is then adjusted when the photos are "developed" (I shoot only in RAW), here Tamron 17-50 (without "stub") showed an excellent result; 4. It controls not only the "native" Canon 430 EX II, but also the Nissin 622 mark II via a light trap via the radio channel; 5. Video, in low light, writes better than "ordinary" video cameras, but this needs to be "study, study and study again"; 6. The location of the buttons, their bulge, joystick, etc. - it's a thing to come and you quickly get used to it, and the weight, with a lens, more than 1 kg eliminates hand trembling; 7. Really "working" ISO up to 3200, noise is then removed by software, which allows you to shoot in nightclubs and karaoke with the background preserved (of course with a flash), the "blizzard" on the matrix is ​​visible only at ISO 6400; 8. In combination with the "native" flash, not only do they understand each other perfectly, but the use of accelerated synchronization allows you to shoot in the daytime in the sun; 9. Read the instructions and always with a camera in your hands - 80% of the "shortcomings" will disappear, and the remaining 20% ​​- when you learn the correct exposure, composition, analysis, etc., here you already need additional literature :) Sample photos can be viewed here : http://fotki. .

Pros
  • All focus points are cross-shaped with a central point for aperture of 2.8 or more, the ability to wirelessly work with external flashes (no need to constantly think about synchronizers and batteries), video recording, working ISO up to 3200, weight (in order to rest your hands - use the "regular or shoulder strap)
Cons
  • It is problematic to quickly switch to video recording and back, especially when shooting reportage and wedding shooting (I use video for linking in a slideshow)
