Very good in all disciplines

When searching for a replacement for my somewhat dated EOS 300D I wavered between the 60D and its successor, the 70d. A direct comparison of the features and the price made me finally pulled clear to 60d. What the 70d better or more can be used as the 60d, which really only need real enthusiasts and professionals. An ambitious amateur photographer, for which I consider myself, is very difficult with the 60d at the functional and technical limits.
The operation of the camera I do not want to vote here, that would not be objective. Someone who has long Canon SLRs use that comes very quickly handle it. A brand Umsteiger will probably have a few more difficulties in the menu jungle.

Before I bought the camera, I was of the opinion that a full HD movie function is superfluous bells and whistles at a dSLR. By now I've added a couple of movies, and I have to revise my opinion. The 60D replaces a mid-range video camera completely. The quality of the recorded sound via the internal microphone is quite enough. If you want more, includes an external stereo microphone.
I use the camera primarily with a Sigma 18-250 mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM lens. The picture quality is very good, in my opinion, also with ISO3200, the noise is limited.
I, as an advocate of Aperture and Time Machine, find myself even when using the many built-in programs that can be individualized even in many subtleties.
I would recommend the camera for those looking for a high quality, stable and functional dSLR.
