Point-and-shoot camera got you bored and listless? Want a camera that delivers professional-level photos? Need to take control? Canon's EOS 60D DSLR Camera Kit with Canon EF-S 18-200mm IS Lens has you covered. The lightweight EOS 60D has an 18MP APS-C CMOS sensor, an articulated 3" Clear View LCD, full 1920 x 1080 HD video, optical image stabilization, and an 18-200mm lens (equivalent to 29-320mm in 35mm format) that delivers great results, from wide-angle landscapes to portraits to telephoto sports action shots. There's your high-resolution, top-grade video, one-lens-does-it-all package.
But it's the details that make this a must-have camera for the upwardly mobile photographer. The 60D's viewfinder gives you 96% coverage for precise framing; the Vari-angle LCD helps in shooting from high or low angles; sensitivity to light runs from 100 ISO all the way up to 6400 ISO (expandable to 12,800 ISO); there's continuous shooting up to 5.3 fps; and you can shoot in JPEG and/or RAW (with in-camera RAW processing). A 63-zone dual-layer metering system and a precision 9-point autofocus system mean you can shoot stills or video on auto with complete confidence.
Or, you can take over, with user-friendly manual control (stills and video), to explore all of the possibilities. Options like an external stereo mic connection, manual and auto gain control, in-camera editing, a number of recording resolutions to choose from, and an HDMI output for viewing your videos (and photographs) on an HDTV will make your videos come to life.
Canon's DIGIC 4 Image Processor provides the benefits of fast shooting speeds, in-camera RAW image processing, creative filters like "Grainy Black-and-White" and "Soft Focus Effect" that allow you to add an artistic touch to your images, image resizing, and other exciting in-camera features. Enhanced Face Detection Live Mode, Auto Lighting Optimizer, and Lens Peripheral Optimization are other features of DIGIC 4.
With the options available, the 60D far surpasses expectations--for instance, all Canon EF and EF-S lenses will work with the 60D, and you can take advantage of the 60D's built-in E-TTL II program with an optional Canon EX Speedlite (such as the powerful 430EX II) for amazing flash photography.
- Kit Includes the Canon EF-S 18-200mm Lens
-
Wide Focal Range
- With 74.2° to 7.5° angle-of-view, the Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens offers excellent wide angle to telephoto focal lengths with Canon APS-C EOS Digital DSLRs
- Canon's Image Stabilization system allows you to shoot sharp images with a 4-stop advantage under less-than-optimum lighting conditions
- As with all Canon EF-S optics, the Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens is designed to deliver optimum sharpness edge-to-edge when used with Canon APS-C format DSLRs
- 18MP CMOS Sensor and DIGIC 4 Imaging Processor
-
The EOS 60D features a Canon-designed 18MP APS-C size CMOS sensor that captures such a high level of resolution; it's easy to crop images for enlargement without concern of losing detail. A major factor in reducing noise, the CMOS sensor assures that images shot at highest sensitivity will be remarkably smooth
The improved DIGIC 4 Image Processor ensures that images are captured, processed and saved with remarkable speed. The EOS 60D DSLR's new 3:2 multiple aspect ratio, in-camera RAW image processing, creative filters, image resizing and provided S2 and S3 image-recording quality are all possible thanks to the DIGIC 4 Image Processor. With dazzling results, the new DIGIC 4 Image Processor also works to capture and process data of images shot at 18MP at 5.3 fps, as well as 14-bit signal processing for excellent image gradation, enhanced Face Detection Live mode, Full HD video recording, Auto Lighting Optimizer and Lens Peripheral Optimization
- Vari-angle 3" Clear View LCD Monitor
-
The EOS 60D features a bright, high resolution, flip-out Vari-angle 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor for shooting at a variety of angles. By easily switching between low and high angles, the EOS 60D freely enables angle adjustments even if the camera is mounted on a tripod or has a battery grip attached
With 1,040,000 (dots/VGA) pixels for spectacular detail, the advanced, smudge-resistant monitor includes high transparency materials plus anti-reflective and water-repellent coatings to provide clear and bright viewing. Superb for reviewing, editing and deleting photos or composing new images in Live View function, the Vari-angle Clear View LCD monitor also allows access to camera settings like ISO, metering modes, AF Point selection, the horizontal Electronic Level and flash options
- EOS HD Video
-
The EOS 60D features HD Video capture technologies - manual exposure control for more creative control, for example - borrowed directly from professional Canon DSLRs to capture stellar video with all the benefits of shooting with a DSLR. By shooting video with the EOS 60D, photographers as well as filmmakers can take advantage of the creative features native to DSLR cameras. Along with its manual controls, the EOS 60D allows for full use of Canon EF and EF-S lenses, including macro and fisheye, providing a plethora of shooting options once reserved only for still photography. The resulting HD video is a standout in its beautiful depth-of-field characteristics and remarkable capture capability under poor lighting conditions. Additionally, a Movie Crop function is included: An SD-quality video (640 x 480) can be cropped to the equivalent of about 7x magnification of regular shooting
The audio input level feature offers both manual and auto gain control, up to 64 levels, and a wind filter minimizes unwanted background noise. By pressing the Quick Control button, a simple graphic user interface for adjusting image quality, white balance, image creation and other settings appears on the LCD. The EOS 60D even lets users edit video in-camera: On-site or off, unnecessary scenes can be deleted and the start/end points of video footage can be designated via in-camera editing functions without the need of a separate computer
Video can be captured at a number of resolutions and frame rates for numerous applications. It can capture 1920 x 1080 Full HD video at frame rates of 30 (29.97 fps), 24 (23.976 fps) and 25 frames per second, for up to 4GB per clip. Video footage is saved as MOV files and can be viewed in Full HD through the EOS 60D DSLR's HDMI output. Other recording sizes include HD at 1280 x 720 (50/60 fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (50/60 fps); 24/30 fps delivers cinema-like motion, while 60 fps is perfect for footage being uploaded to video-sharing websites. The EOS 60D also has a built-in microphone for simple mono recording and stereo sound can be recorded through a self-powered external microphone
- High ISO Sensitivity
- With a broad range of ISO settings, expandable up to 6400 in the auto setting and 12800 with the custom function, the EOS 60D enables shooting from sunrise to sunset and helps ensure capture of the finest detail. With enhanced high-sensitivity optimization, subjects can be captured clearly and easily at high shutter speeds without flash, with minimized blur and noise. In bright scenes, especially long exposures in daylight, optimal exposure can be achieved with a fully open wide-diameter lens, no dark filter needed
- 5.3 fps Continuous Shooting
- With a 0.1 second start-up time, speedy autofocus, and minimal shutter lag, the EOS 60D is made to capture even rapidly-occurring scenes with stunning precision. Able to shoot up to 5.3 frames per second (fps), capturing a maximum burst of approximately 58 Large/JPEGs and 16 RAW, the EOS 60D DSLR lets you catch even the briefest of moments, whether it's a fast-paced soccer game or the flicker of a candle flame
- 96% Viewfinder Coverage
-
The EOS 60D features a redesigned viewfinder that not only offers 96% coverage, 0.95x magnification, a 27° angle of view and user-controlled dioptric adjustment, it also features a transparent LCD display that enables a number of viewfinder displays. A six-level battery check indicator has been added on the left, and the exposure level indicator scale has been expanded to up to three stops, with arrows indicating greater exposure levels
The EOS 60D also features a horizontal Electronic Level, that, when activated, is superimposed on the LCD monitor to aid in achieving evenly leveled shots by indicating the horizontal tilt up to approximately 9° in 1° increments
- Enhanced iFCL 63-Zone Dual-Layer Metering System and 9-Point AF System
- The EOS 60D features a 63-zone dual-layer sensor designed to complement the 9-point AF system. By taking into account the color and luminosity surrounding chosen AF points, this system delivers an advanced level of accuracy for stunning results even in difficult lighting situations. Since the metering sensor has a color measurement function, exposure errors and focus errors caused by different light sources are minimized; the EOS 60D gives stable exposure from shot to shot in situations where light changes, such as in a theater or concert hall. This makes the EOS 60D ideal for scenes with extreme difference in brightness such as brightly lit scenes or backlit scenes; the camera balances exposure of the main subject at the background, and exposures are not overly influenced by bright areas in the shot. Since the EOS 60D provides high-speed X-sync ("X-sync" means the fastest shutter speed that can synchronize with a flash burst at the moment the shutter is fully released) up to 1/250 sec., the range of photographic expression is dramatically increased, allowing the EOS 60D to be used with confidence in bright scenes or dim
- In-Camera Technologies for a Streamline Workflow
-
The EOS 60D marks a highpoint in convenience for the photographer by being able to shoot an image as a RAW file and then process it entirely in-camera to produce a separate JPEG file without the need of an outside computer. The EOS 60D gives you 10 process variables - brightness adjustment, white balance, Picture Style, Auto Lighting Optimizer, noise reduction, JPEG image-recording quality, color space, lens peripheral illumination correction, distortion correction, and chromatic aberrations correction. To create the image you envision, set the camera to the 3:2 aspect ratio used in 35mm film
Additionally, once you capture an image with the EOS 60D, you can digitally manipulate it in-camera with a number of creative filters for artistic and dramatic effect. Options include Soft Focus Effect to convey dreamy tableaus; Grainy Black-and-White Effect for a gritty, hard-bitten look; Toy Camera Effect - the deliberate vignetting and color shift technique popular in art photography - and Miniature Effect, which blurs the top and bottom edges of the image to emphasize perspective and conveys a miniaturized look of the scene
- Flexible Storage with Memory Cards
-
The EOS 60D DSLR uses popular SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards. Compact, inexpensive and available in increasingly large capacities, SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards are a nice complement to the EOS 60D DSLR's compact and lightweight body design
The 60D can also gives you the option to store recordings to external media sources like USB 2.0 or Wireless LAN/Eye-Fi card (Canon cameras are not guaranteed to support Eye-Fi card functions, including wireless transfer)
- Compatible with Canon EF and EF-S Lenses
- The EOS 60D is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF and EF-S lineup, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses. Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise and micron-precision engineering to deliver unprecedented performance in all facets of the photographic process. Special optical technologies, such as aspherical, ultra-low dispersion, or fluorite elements are featured in the universally acclaimed L-series lenses. And Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology is featured in select lenses to minimize the effect of camera shake. Additionally, photographers can use for video the same lenses they do for still photography; Canon wide-angle, macro, super-telephoto, tilt-shift and fisheye lenses provide a wealth of focal lengths, depth-of-field and other creative shooting options once reserved for stills
- Flash Photography
-
With a flash sync speed of 1/250 of a second, the EOS 60D features the E-TTL II flash metering system. With any of the optional flashes in the EX Speedlite line, E-TTL II provides reliable flash output whether shooting fill-in flash pictures in sunlight, or using flash in total darkness. With E-TTL II, the exact same 35-zone metering sensor used for measuring ambient light is also used for flash metering - giving even finer metering command of the image area. If you prefer a broader area for flash metering, there's a menu setting to change to "Average" flash metering - where the entire 35-zone area is measured evenly for flash exposure. Additionally, the EOS 60D has a Speedlite transmitter built-in for convenient, full-featured wireless control of EX-series Speedlite flashes set as slave units
The optional Canon Speedlite 430EX II is a step-up accessory for powerful flash shooting with the EOS 60D. It has excellent flash power (maximum guide number of 141'/43m at ISO 100), and is the perfect way to get great flash pictures when you can't get right up to the subject. The 430EX II is also great for bounce flash, with its tilting and swiveling flash head. It automatically zooms the flash head to cover lenses ranging from 16mm up to 105mm or longer with the EOS 60D. Of course, it works with the camera to provide full E-TTL II automatic flash exposure. And the 430EX II has a powerful AF-assist beam, which allows the camera to autofocus even in total darkness on subjects as far as 32 ft. from the camera
- Powerful Bundled Software
- The EOS 60D comes bundled with an updated Canon EOS Digital Solution Disk, which features powerful software programs designed to extend the EOS experience to the computer. These include Canon's EOS Utility (Version 2.9.0), Digital Photo Professional (Version 3.9.1), ZoomBrowser EX for Windows (Version 6.6.0), ImageBrowser for Macintosh OS X (Version 6.6.0), the Picture Style Editor (Version 1.8.0), PhotoStitch (Version W: 3.1.22/M: 3.4.4), WFT Utility (version 3.5.1), Memory Card Utility (Version 1.4), WFT Utility (Version 3.5.1), Original Data Security Tools (Version 1.9.0). Each application is designed to make captured images look their best and to streamline the workflow.

I am an amateur photographer. I use my D60 only with one lens - the kit lens that came with it. That's why the zoom range was very important to me. I do find that I use the long end of the zoom a lot, and I would have been bothered to have been stuck with the 18-135mm had I gone for it. Sharpness is satisfactory for me across most of the zoom range, and you could read reviews and comparison of the lens sharpness at dpreview.
I am also particular about low light performance, and I find that I am able to take great shots at low light due to the lens's excellent image stabilization. Concerts, street walks, and the camera's decent performance up to ISO 1600 allow that. However, there are probably better cameras for low light performance, from Nikon. Nonetheless, autofocus performance in low light is really excellent - only rarely and in really dark areas, where I can't even distinguish objects myself, is the camera hunting for focus. For closer dark images, the camera uses the a VERY fast flash as its autofocus assist light (to the point I don't know by looking at the viewfinder that it flashed it). Still, using the flash as af-assist may be bothersome if you want discreetness, but for me that doesn't metter.
I have always liked Canon's interface better than Nikon, and the camera offers no surprises there - the interface is quick and intuitive, and what you don't get initally is spelled out with amazing detail in the manual.
The lens has very little creep under normal use, and I am happy with that. It generally feels very sturdy (and heavy, though well balanced with the body). Take into account this kit provides a heavy camera - for my wife, who has very small hands, it's slightly on the heavy side, but I have grown to use it without noticing its weight at all.
There are good reviews of the camera at dpreview and cameralabs and I find they are very descriptive of the product I received.
When you consider this against cheaper cameras, factor in that you'll have also have to buy a lens protector (e.g., 72mm UV filter), which should cost ~$60, and a zoom-SLR carrying bag which will set you back another $30-$50. A decent memory stick is another $30-$50, so the overall price of the package will be about ~$120-160 higher than just the body and the lens. If you're on a budget and you don't already have all of the above, that may sway your decision.
One con for people who like to have video handy on a whim - the video mode requires turning the control dial to video, which can take a couple of seconds, so you don't have the flexibility of point-and-shoots of just pressing the record button whenever you want. You can only press the record button after switching to video mode. I'm ok with that since 98% of the time I'll shoot only stills. Note however that you can still take stills when in video mode, so if you're shooting children and want to shoot lots of video or something like that, you can still take stills quickly without switching modes.
Another con is the 9-point autofocus is not so useful if you're taking stills, because it tends to focus on the nearest object, which is not necessarily what you want. Unless I'm shooting in continuous mode (like when I'm following gulls), I will generally shoot with only the center autofocus point active, and get the focus exactly where I want, before composing the frame. I find this gives me more choice, and it takes a second longer, but it insures that I get the focus *exactly* where I want it, every time. So, for me that's no bother.
Overall, very happy with the camera - pictures are incredible sharpness, color and the composition ability that comes with the large zoom range makes me very happy with the purchase.

I am angry with both B&H and Canon for not taking care of this problem. The AF focus on this camera is terrible. The 18-200mm lense moves after you have the focus set. This is also happening when I use the automatic shutter release. Canon will not allow the authorized dealers to fix the problem. You must send it back to Canon. (Which I did). The camera came back, they acknowledged the problem, but it was NOT fixed ! In fact, the problem was worse. I called again...they gave me the run around, and it still doesn't work. The Canon website does have a service order announcement on their website admitting this problem. (It will take you about a half an hour to find it.)Yet, they will not give you a new camera or fix the problem properly. Now my warranty is up in a few days and I am stuck with a [$] piece of junk. B&H you should be ashamed of yourselves for not intervening and taking care of an excellent customer.

Comments about EOS 60D DSLR Camera Kit with Canon EF-S 18-200mm IS Lens:
This camera is great for your general every day photographs. I have switched jobs and in the past used the Mark II with L-Series lenses which is a superior set up, but with the smaller budget at my new job was forced to get a more budget friendly camera. This camera will get the job done and is a good step down from the Mark II. I would recommend it for anyone who wants something better than a Rebel but can't afford the best.

Comments about EOS 60D DSLR Camera Kit with Canon EF-S 18-200mm IS Lens:
I wanted a feature rich SLR camera that creates high quality images. I was willing to pay over a thousand dollars but not as much as two thousand and preferably under fifteen hundred. I looked at all the major brands, and there are many. I did an exhaustive side-by-side comparison of features and narrowed the field to Canon and Nikon and eventually chose the Canon 60D.
As mentioned, the Canon 60D has many features. I'll give you an overview of how it works, which is not to say that its competitors don't have similar features.
The Canon 60D can be set to output RAW files and/or JPEG files. At the highest resolution the image will be 5184 x 3456 pixels. The appearance of images stored as JPEG files will be affected by camera settings such as shutter speed, aperture setting, ISO setting, white balance, light source (e.g. tungsten, fluorescent, flash) etc. RAW files, however, store the pixel intensity as affected by shutter speed, aperture setting, and ISO setting, but white balance, light source, and other settings are stored as metadata, i.e. data that is saved in the RAW file but that does not affect the appearance of the image until the image is displayed on a monitor or converted to an image file at some future time. The advantage of this is that white balance, light source, and other settings can be changed after the photo is taken and before the image is saved, by Canon provided software, as a JPEG or as a lossless 8 or 16 bit tif file.
Note that the 60D can also be used as a video camera that will save MOV format files.
The 60D has many functions, and these can be accessed and changed in different ways. The easiest is by using the color LCD panel, but there are buttons and dials that allow the user to select frequently accessed functions and then modify their settings quickly. In all, settings can be viewed in the eyepiece, on the LCD monitor on top of the camera, or in the color LCD panel. Settings can be changed by a dial on top of the camera or a dial/8-way pushbutton controller on the back. Though this may seem daunting at first, the designers have given the photographer multiple controls and displays that may be used in whatever ways are most convenient. For example, if looking in the eyepiece the photographer will want to see setting changes within. If the camera is on a tripod, the photographer may want to look at the LCD on top of the camera. If setting many changes for an upcoming shoot, the photographer may want to use the large color LCD display.
This camera is thoughtfully designed to be useful for the professional but also has point and shoot modes for those who want quick access to high quality results without a long learning curve. The 18-200 mm lens is great for landscapes and close-ups, but one might someday want to add a lighter weight lens for carry-around convenience.
Great quality, wonderful features, and a low price considering the feature set. All in all a great camera. I love it.

Great all around camera. Easy to understand and use features, durable, ergonomically designed for average hands, relatively light in weight. This is definitely a great upgrade camera for anyone moving into SLR photography. Makes a world of difference. The 18-200 lens is enough for now and give a variety of options for shooting up close or at a distance.

My wife LOVES IT! Ease of use, quality of pictures and battery life are the most noticable moving from the rebel and other $200 - $500 Canon Cameras. We noticed that the package deal worked out best with the lense, bag and memory card. Deal was way better than a local everything in a department store box place.

I am an amateur photographer. I use my D60 only with one lens - the kit lens that came with it. That's why the zoom range was very important to me. I do find that I use the long end of the zoom a lot, and I would have been bothered to have been stuck with the 18-135mm had I gone for it. Sharpness is satisfactory for me across most of the zoom range, and you could read reviews and comparison of the lens sharpness at dpreview.
I am also particular about low light performance, and I find that I am able to take great shots at low light due to the lens's excellent image stabilization. Concerts, street walks, and the camera's decent performance up to ISO 1600 allow that. However, there are probably better cameras for low light performance, from Nikon. Nonetheless, autofocus performance in low light is really excellent - only rarely and in really dark areas, where I can't even distinguish objects myself, is the camera hunting for focus. For closer dark images, the camera uses the a VERY fast flash as its autofocus assist light (to the point I don't know by looking at the viewfinder that it flashed it). Still, using the flash as af-assist may be bothersome if you want discreetness, but for me that doesn't metter.
I have always liked Canon's interface better than Nikon, and the camera offers no surprises there - the interface is quick and intuitive, and what you don't get initally is spelled out with amazing detail in the manual.
The lens has very little creep under normal use, and I am happy with that. It generally feels very sturdy (and heavy, though well balanced with the body). Take into account this kit provides a heavy camera - for my wife, who has very small hands, it's slightly on the heavy side, but I have grown to use it without noticing its weight at all.
There are good reviews of the camera at dpreview and cameralabs and I find they are very descriptive of the product I received.
When you consider this against cheaper cameras, factor in that you'll have also have to buy a lens protector (e.g., 72mm UV filter), which should cost ~$60, and a zoom-SLR carrying bag which will set you back another $30-$50. A decent memory stick is another $30-$50, so the overall price of the package will be about ~$120-160 higher than just the body and the lens. If you're on a budget and you don't already have all of the above, that may sway your decision.
One con for people who like to have video handy on a whim - the video mode requires turning the control dial to video, which can take a couple of seconds, so you don't have the flexibility of point-and-shoots of just pressing the record button whenever you want. You can only press the record button after switching to video mode. I'm ok with that since 98% of the time I'll shoot only stills. Note however that you can still take stills when in video mode, so if you're shooting children and want to shoot lots of video or something like that, you can still take stills quickly without switching modes.
Another con is the 9-point autofocus is not so useful if you're taking stills, because it tends to focus on the nearest object, which is not necessarily what you want. Unless I'm shooting in continuous mode (like when I'm following gulls), I will generally shoot with only the center autofocus point active, and get the focus exactly where I want, before composing the frame. I find this gives me more choice, and it takes a second longer, but it insures that I get the focus *exactly* where I want it, every time. So, for me that's no bother.
Overall, very happy with the camera - pictures are incredible sharpness, color and the composition ability that comes with the large zoom range makes me very happy with the purchase.

I am angry with both B&H and Canon for not taking care of this problem. The AF focus on this camera is terrible. The 18-200mm lense moves after you have the focus set. This is also happening when I use the automatic shutter release. Canon will not allow the authorized dealers to fix the problem. You must send it back to Canon. (Which I did). The camera came back, they acknowledged the problem, but it was NOT fixed ! In fact, the problem was worse. I called again...they gave me the run around, and it still doesn't work. The Canon website does have a service order announcement on their website admitting this problem. (It will take you about a half an hour to find it.)Yet, they will not give you a new camera or fix the problem properly. Now my warranty is up in a few days and I am stuck with a [$] piece of junk. B&H you should be ashamed of yourselves for not intervening and taking care of an excellent customer.

This camera is great for your general every day photographs. I have switched jobs and in the past used the Mark II with L-Series lenses which is a superior set up, but with the smaller budget at my new job was forced to get a more budget friendly camera. This camera will get the job done and is a good step down from the Mark II. I would recommend it for anyone who wants something better than a Rebel but can't afford the best.

My wife LOVES IT! Ease of use, quality of pictures and battery life are the most noticable moving from the rebel and other $200 - $500 Canon Cameras. We noticed that the package deal worked out best with the lense, bag and memory card. Deal was way better than a local everything in a department store box place.
