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 Cha Eunu ᠌
Full compliance with the manufacturers assurances, high quality.
That's actually all. Summing up, I can say that this camera is absolutely not suitable for reportage shooting. Unless the reporting is in ideal conditions with great lighting. Those. 100500 frames per second, trying to shake skaters or rollers in flight will not work. Extreme shooting in nightclubs and at concerts is also not his forte (although if you wish, you can achieve a more or less decent result). It is more suitable for leisurely studio, street and creative shooting. The Canon 60D can capture amazing sunrises and sunsets, portraits of children and adults, great and detailed macro (when using the right optics), cityscapes, and more. The abundance of fine settings, but no frills, will help you perfectly master photographic equipment and join the art. And the image quality is decent even for A2 printing. Well, in studios, with professional flashes, with high-quality optics (even if not L-class, but at least 85 1.8 USM), the pictures will turn out to be no worse than professional ones, and all complaints about the pictures can be made only to the curvature of your hands and creative imagination. I can also add that although it sounds absurd, it nevertheless makes sense to bother with optics that cost more than the camera itself. High-aperture fixes or L-class zooms give high-quality pictures no worse than professional cameras. For those who want to learn how to handle photographic equipment and comprehend photography art, I definitely recommend it. It’s quite possible to create a good portfolio for yourself, realize some creative ideas or even earn extra money by shooting, with this camera it’s quite possible. But still, it is worth considering the limit of its capabilities, if you want to make money on it.
- Personally, I like the device 100%, but I will try to talk about the pros and cons to make it easier to make a choice. And so, the pros: 1) High-quality assembly. No backlashes, no gaps. Everything is assembled clearly and very high quality 2) Aluminum chassis. Aluminum is different. If someone thinks that this is bad, then read the characteristics of the D16T aluminum alloy. 3) Ease of management. Very helpful navipad (scroll wheel with joystick function. 4) Monochrome screen. It will seem to someone that this is unnecessary pampering, but you will not believe how much it really speeds up the work. After a camera with this screen, picking up the 600D, I felt a wild inconvenience and slowdown when adjusting the shooting parameters. And even the 650D's touch screen, which is designed to speed up and increase ease of setup, still does worse than direct control on a monochrome screen. 5) Quality of photos in studio shooting. Photos at low ISO values (up to 800 units) show amazing results. With a full-length portrait, the detail of each hair on the head and even the texture of the skin is preserved. But of course when using NOT whale lenses. 6) Energy efficiency. The camera is one of the best in terms of battery consumption. A full charge is really enough for more than 1000 shots, and taking into account the use of synchronizers. With the built-in flash, a charge is enough for about 600-700 shots. 7) Pretty tenacious autofocus. If everything is in order with the adjustment, then autofocus on USM lenses is not inferior in speed to 5dm3. 8) Rotary screen. Pampering, but helped out several times when it was necessary to shoot from a lower angle (from the floor). But for this I had to turn on the LV mode, and it is wildly slow and it is not realistic to shoot a report with it. Suitable only for leisurely staged filming. 9) The built-in flash can wirelessly fire external SpeedLite series flashes. 10) Shutter speed up to 1/8000 sec. Like professional cameras.
- 1) The matrix is noisy. At sensitivity above 800, the noise is already obscene. Therefore, without fast optics or flashes, shooting at dusk is practically not an option. The only way out is to increase the exposure time, but of course you can immediately forget about reportage shooting. 2) Burst memory buffer. With a sufficiently high rate of fire, the buffer fills up instantly. When shooting in RAW, the memory is enough for a maximum of 7 frames and the speed drops sharply. Even the most expensive and fastest SD cards do not save. 3) Automatic white balance guesses in 70% of cases. It is better not to use the preset options for balance settings at all, because. they have never given the desired result. As a result, we need to either set the balance on a gray mark each time, or trust the automation, but double-check the footage.
