What made me buy the Canon EOS 60D over every other SLR camera on Amazon.co.uk was that it was one of the only ones with all of the features that I wanted and absolutely everyone who reviewed it said that they loved it. The price might have been a bit higher than I was planning on spending, but I figured that if I liked it as much as I expected to, it’d pay itself off sooner rather than later.
What I could tell right away when I first started using the Canon EOS 60D was that it was extremely fast at taking a picture and reloading for the next one. That is the most important feature next to picture quality, in my opinion, because in most cases I need to be able to take multiple pictures of the same thing and need it to load back up as quick as possible. The best thing about it is that there is no loss in quality no matter how fast you need it to take pictures.
The ability to customize so many things to make the camera work how you want it to is possibly my favorite thing about the 60D next to picture quality. I know that most camera companies try to focus on that aspect of their cameras these days, but most don’t get it right the way that Canon did here. It makes the camera great because I know that I can tweak a couple of things for different environments and get the effects that I want.
What this camera does lack is the auto focus feature while filming videos, which is pretty surprising to me considering it is there when you take pictures. I haven’t really had blurry videos come out, but I would feel way more confident in each short film that I shoot if I knew that the auto focus was working in the background. Because it isn’t there, I have to make sure that I don’t turn too fast to take things out of focus.
I am very happy with myself for choosing the Canon EOS 60D over all of the other SLR options because it is exactly what I wanted. Sure, there could be other great ones out there, but I feel like the only way to go from here is down. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great new SLR camera.
