I bought one of these two years ago, and all I can say is that it is a loyal and reliable beast. I've made it work way too hard and it is still going strong. I've subjected it to rain, gravity, heat, and general abuse and it still looks and acts like it did when I got it.

The 60D is a great camera, gives great results even for the amateur. I am sold on the ability to connect to the computer and use macro setings to photograph documents with ease whilst using the computer screen.

Canon's latest enthusiast digital SLR draws from many different cameras in Canon's lineup, from the Canon G12, with its swivel screen, to the 5D Mark II, with its fairly advanced video functionality. Though the controls have changed a bit, I still found the Canon 60D very familiar.

I have been using this camera with 18-135 lens for almost 3 years now. It gives excellent image quality. Though the build is plastic it has been very sturdy. Having been taking great pictures with this camera.

Now is the time to see the Canon EOS 60D in action and assess its strengths and weaknesses. Let's start from what, in our view, is the main shortcoming in this model.
