I had been shopping around for a replacement camera for my old Canon Rebel when I came across the President's Day Sale on Overstock. This camera package was one of the features that was on sale, and I just couldn't beat the value.

the camera is amazing specially at this price, the lens included is basic lens, not very fast one but good for start. Only con is the documentation and manuals, they all were in Japanese so I had to download pdf's from website.

Price vs Quality of Pictures

This is a very well made Canon body and is user friendly. Unit focuses fast,has a large and bright viewfinder. Settings and menues are easy to fiind and use. Body feels comfortable in your hands and balances well with all lenses (lenses not having a tripod collar).

I love everything about it! Still learning to use it but it has been easy to follow the instructions from the manual.

Easy To Use; Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus; Fast Shutter Speed; Good Image Quality; Good Image Stabilization; Great clarity; High ISO Performance; Large Clear LCD; Quiet; Tilt /Swivel LCD

Haven't found one yet

Both cameras include a few preset Scene modes, although not as many as the Nikon, to help you quickly get shots like Landscape and Portrait. Both also allow you to save your own favorite settings under three user modes; the Nikon allows two.

Great image quality; Swiveling LCD screen; Long battery life

Slow autofocus on LCD screen; none in movie mode; Plastic body; Lacks features found on Nikon D7000

The 60D seems to have excellent IQ with each lens I've tried with it. The Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS, Sigma 17-70mm DC OS HSM Macro, Sigma 120-400 DG OS HSM, Tamron 28-300 XR DI VC and several prime lenses.

Excellent IQ; articulating LCD screen,easy to use controls; nice HD video capture; 18MP provides great resolution without sacrificing noise control

Build doesn't seem as sturdy and the 50D; slower frame rate than 50D and the shutter is a little noisy

The Canon EOS 60D is not simply a direct replacement for the 50D with a few extra features. Instead it represents a new category of Canon DSLRs designed to precisely fill the gap between the consumer level EOS 550D / Rebel T2i and the semi-pro EOS 7D.

Sept 28th. Canon recently introduced the 18 megapixel Canon EOS 60D digital SLR, a camera geared towards enthusiast level photographers, and which serves as a successor to the Canon EOS 50D.

This 18 megapixel DSLR is the latest iteration in the Canon 10/20/30/40/50D range of mid-priced cameras. The new feature that is immediately obvious is the swivelling high resolution LCD screen.

This is such a beautifully evolved camera series that there is not much to say other than "it's just like the 50D only better." Low light performance is brilliant; Auto white balance is not wonderful but selecting a setting appropriate to the light source fixes that.

Live view is still clunky and auto-focus in movie mode is still frustrating; The instruction book warns "continuous focus on a moving subject is not possible."

The Canon EOS 60D is an excellent enthusiast-level camera that offers a variety of new features over its predecessor and excellent image and video quality.

Great photo and video quality; Articulating display; Microphone input

No continous autofocus for video; Awkward mode dial lock placement; Display gets easily washed out in sunlight
