Product: Canon 60D Body
Great results. Isnt that what counts? Its a given with this type of camera. If they arent good, its time for the photgrapher to look again at their technique.
Another nice body from Canon, representing a good half-way-house between the entry level x0000 and x00 series and the likes of the 7D, 6D and 5D Mk III. Users stepping up, like me, will really appreciate the better ergonomics, the top plate LCD for the frequently used settings and the bigger brighter viewfinder image due to the proper pentaprism not the penta-mirror arrangement. Another small but great addition is the lock on the mode selector.
Construction is solid without being too weighty.
The only downside Im aware of is that apparently its not great for sports and action because of the limited number of focusing points.
With Canons typical joined up thinking, the same battery is used in the 60D, the 5D Mk II, the 6D and the 7D. So anyone moving up the range from the 60D can reuse their expensive spare batteries.
Obviously it works with both EF and EF-S lenses and can make really good use of L series and decent EF prime lenses. However with the availability of the 6D series as a mid-range full frame option, think carefully about the next possible move beyond the 60D before investing in EF-S lenses which dont fit full frame cameras....
