Point-and-shoot camera got you bored and listless? Want a camera that delivers professional-level photos? Need to take control? OK, relax--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 HD TV 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 faced-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 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:
I am a newbie to the dslr world and so far I am very happy with my 60d. For a few hundred extra dollars the 60d seemed like a very logical upgrade to the t3i, and the 18-200mm lens kit made the choice that much easier. If you plan to use a dslr as a 'professional' point and shoot, go with the t3i. However, if you want to actually learn the art of photography, the 60d will assist you on that pursuit more smoothly. If you are on the fence about 60d, t3i, or even Nikon 5100, I fully recommend this blog, highlighting the differences.blog.dojoklo. com/2011/02/20/canon-t3i-600d-vs-t2i-550d-vs-60d-vs-7d-etc/

Comments about EOS 60D DSLR Camera Kit with Canon EF-S 18-200mm IS Lens:
I do cinematography so getting a camera that performs well with video was a must. I was going to get the Canon 7D but in the end the 60D does almost everything the 7D does, and its cheaper! What can I say, I love the camera. The weekend I got it I shot a short film and I couldn't have been more pleased. The flip out screen was so handy, I can't imagine going back to not having it! Also the lens is awesome! GREAT FOCUS! The lens is a little heavy, but the camera body itself is a nice weight so it isn't a huge problem. I was filming a live show hand held the other night and the song was about 6 minutes, and by the time it was over my arms were tired of holding the camera, but that may be because I am kind of weak :) but I would recommend this camera as a greta first camera, as an introduction into the dslr world.

Comments about EOS 60D DSLR Camera Kit with Canon EF-S 18-200mm IS Lens:
I use this camera to record video. Love the flip-out LCD, this is one of the greatest things for video recording, besides the manual audio and 60fps feature.
I wish it had the sensor of the 5d for shooting with high ISO rates and get all the FOV of the lens.
A combination of the 5d and 60d would be the perfect camera for me, but in the meantime 60d suites me, love it.

Comments about EOS 60D DSLR Camera Kit with Canon EF-S 18-200mm IS Lens:
After about 7 years it was time to retire my old EOS 350 (Rebel XT) so after some research I decided for this one. I bought the 18-200 lens because I don't want to change lenses, especially not when on the road. On my 350 after a few lens changes I got dust on the sensor and it's very difficult to clean.
The 60D has automatic sensor cleaning - I don't really want to find out where the limitations of that lie.
I am very impressed with the IS. I can take pictures at 80mm and 1/15 or slower, without a tripod, and they still come out quite sharp.
Autofocus is not bad, quite fast when using the viewfinder, but very slow in liveview mode.
This may not be professional gear, but offers great value for money for the advanced amateur.

I bought it because it is easy to use and the performance of this camera is good enough for a beginner. and I suggest you guys buy a 50mm F/1.4 lens with it, then you can use it for a very long time because you are not professional, and those two lenses can help you do most things you want.

Comments about EOS 60D DSLR Camera Kit with Canon EF-S 18-200mm IS Lens:
The camera body is great. The only insignificant item is the software leads you to believe you can change the photo prefix from the default IMG_ to something of your choosing. This is not the case. Canon says that is reserved for the "more expensive cameras".
The lens is another story. Unless you want to keep your camera level all of the time, this lens is not for you. Examples include taking a shot at a dandelion at your feet or a time exposure of the stars overhead ... the lens zooms in or out on it's own. Canon insists this is normal. This poor quality lens makes this kit totally useless and gives it a 1 out of 5 star rating with me.

Comments about EOS 60D DSLR Camera Kit with Canon EF-S 18-200mm IS Lens:
I'm a teacher at a digital education non-profit working with under-served populations. The 60D was our choice because of price - not just of the camera itself, but because SD card media is much cheaper than the CF Cards used by other cameras in it's price range (the 7D was our main comparison point)
As for the product itself, we're very happy with it. As a teaching tool, it is very forgiving. It's auto mode is great for teaching composition and getting consistently quality results with little effort. It's manual mode is awesome for teaching advanced users how to control their image.
The product is a breeze to navigate - while it lacks a few of the tactile controls present on the back of the 7D, it puts these features in the Mode Dial, where they are still easy to access.
For shutter speed, you use a wheel under your finger tip, and for aperture, you use a dial on the back of the camera. I would imagine these are customizable, but haven't played around much.
The camera has a flip-out display that is occasionally handy during video mode, but for the most part we keep it locked in the back of the camera. It's a nice feature to have available.
Technically, everything about the camera is solid. Fast shutter, High ISO range, full manual controls. It's also a very study body, and feels solid in your hands.
We also use the video mode quite a bit, which is excellent for DSLR filmmaking.
I think this is a great camera to have around your business, school, or for personal use. While I wouldn't call it a Professional DSLR, it would a make a great back up for pro photographers to keep in their bags.
I definitely recommend it!

Comments about EOS 60D DSLR Camera Kit with Canon EF-S 18-200mm IS Lens:
The kit serves my universal needs - seasonal documentary video projects, home&travel video footage&stills.
pros: Adjustable screen is a wellcome feature. Lens range and quality is very good, even thought it is not "L". Price - competative&affordable. Settings are easy to learn, will keep a beginer and an avid user both happy.
cons: camera body is not as durable as 7D (reflected in the price).
B&H service has been very prompt and proffesional.
