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 Ha Joon (Hj) ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

For me, the device is clearly with a margin of quality and capabilities. Just touching are such shortcomings "revealed" in some reviews as a body not made of magnesium alloy and a lower rate of fire compared to the Canon 50. Firstly, there is also a carcass on a metal frame and, if it does not hammer nails in an acidic environment, it is quite durable. Secondly, in real life, the difference in speed is as important as the difference in throttle response between 5.6 and 6.3 seconds for cars (I’ll make a reservation: for filming sports stories, this is probably important). But, probably, there is no point in switching to this model from the fifty, if video shooting is not needed. But for people like me, it’s better to take it right away - there are clearly more opportunities.

Pros
  • I switched to Canon from Sony Alpha so I will compare with it: - sits very comfortably in the hand, it is larger and more grippy. The tactile sensations are very pleasant. A lot more settings. Sony's menu is no worse, but here everything is clear and logical. The viewfinder is larger and brighter. Focus with the 18-135 lens is just great: fast and clear. ISO working up to 3200 inclusive. High-definition swivel screen, which, by the way, can simply be rotated inward for protection. The second LCD display on top is convenient for tripod operation. An excellent 18-135 lens in both quality and coverage. Realistically, I only need something fast for filming in the dark. Very good software for working with pictures. This is important to me because I'm not friends with Photoshop. The picture is excellent on first impressions, but here I still need to gain experience - I’m shooting for a couple of weeks.
Cons
  • Oddly enough, the choice of lenses is less than that of Sony, there are just a huge number of inexpensive and decent options from Minolta. Our price is overstated by 15% compared to the well-known catalog.
