Comment:
I am a student of professional photography and I use this camera for assignments. I take portraits, sports events, weddings, nature, and live events such as concerts. My photos need very little digital processing if the lighting is good, my hand is steady, and I choose the right subjects and angles for the shot. I have adjusted to the weight after a year of owning it. <br /><br />It has travelled with me to the tropics and in the colder parts of the world. I worry about damage to it from extreme temperatures but so far I haven't had any problems.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
I had 25 years experience with AF film SLRs before purchasing the 60D, and I was delightfully surprised and pleased with this camera's combination of capability and ease-of-use. There are many, many great lenses available in the EOS mount. If you are a serious enthusiast who shoots regularly, you must consider the 60D.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
