  • You look cool, you speak even coolier, but what I don't understand... WHY do I see you sitting on all your vids? Can't you speak and test the camera on the same occasion? You look more like a cinema producer than a true photograph...

  • Nikon fanboy

  • Comment removed

  • @super7kay You know that various attributes of that comments are just about as badly devices as this socalled "preview"?

  • Also the WB (white balance) and FEC (flash exposure compensation) buttons have been removed and are now buried in the menu.

  • This is not a review, just you being an arragent prick.

  • Comment removed

  • how did you run you audio? I'm shooting a full length feature starting on the 17th, I want to cut my audio straight into the 60D. You have clean audio in this review...

  • how bout the 9-cross type AF points?

  • everyday im shuffling hahah

  • Thanks for the info Jared! i own a 550d and been thinking of upgrading to a 60D... now when you said that... now i am thinking of upgrading to a 7D... Damn it... i need to save up...

  • thanks Jared for the explanation of canon 60D... i'm subscribe !!!

  • Comment removed

  • this is a useless review, what can you get with a fellow yapping in front of a camera?

  • hi jared! i am upgrading my camera and im still confused whether which i should get, the nikon d90 or canon 60d.. im only after the quality of the photos, not the video thing.. which do you recommend? thank you :)

  • i am a pro and it is in my bag 80% of the time.

  • Do you work for B&H?

    Do you pay for all the camera gear you use for tutorials?

  • @8x50scope you can also check my recent 50mm test (done yesterday) its in my channel entitled "Canon 60d: photoshoot"

    Im upgrading to iMac now since my laptop cant handle hd videos tht much...im jst so limited to 1min render at the moment but i hope its enough to provide sample shots... :)

  • @8x50scope no need for magic lantern as canon have released an official firmware for 5dmk2.its a fine piece of machine now but im also currently using 60d - and im happy with it...

    Sound can be easily fixed by a separate recorder. To be honest im just using my iphone as my sound recorder for now ;)

  • @8x50scope that's great if you have a 50mm 1.2..im only using 1.4 at the moment but if you really need a body for ultra low light shooting i would suggest 5dmk2...

    It offers good white balance, contrast even if you're just holding out a light from a matchstick...

  • @8x50scope it depends on your lense's capacity for aperture opening...the lower the aperture number, the wider the opening gets making much more light get in.

  • still going to buy one! I love the video it's amazing!!!!

  • 60D sucks at night video

  • @MrFueggo The camera has nothing to do with night shooting.. that's the aperture and lens job. You obviously don't know much about camera's.

  • @MrFueggo it doesn't suck mr.fueggo i have a 60d and it captures good at night...you can check one of my videos which contain night shots, it wasn't that perfect though because im still on the level where i discover a lil bit more about the camera each day.

  • 8 fps and better focusing (errr... more focusing points, who cares). Besides that... why is the 7D better?

    Also I TOTALLY agree about the in camera processing. Does anybody buying a 1000 dollar camera give an eff about in camera processing. You can do all of that and much more with any computer program. I absolutely HATE all of the menus and buttons and effects that are meaningless to real photographers. It's kids stuff.

  • @freezazoid wow...you must be a pro..saying something like that...kids stuff?you really underestimate 60D..seriously dude..

  • @nickeoss you must of misread my comment. I'm saying the 7D is NOT worth the extra money. I bought the 60D. What I was saying is kids stuff is all the extra in-camera processing that almost all DSLR's have. I agree with YOU... the 60D is the way to go unless you move up to full frame sensor.

  • @freezazoid lol glad to hear that dude =)

  • 80% of the people watching this are here because of the video ability of the 60D . Not about how many bursts shots the camera can take and the focusing system.lol to the video buyers this is a 7D with a swivel screen and cheaper body.

  • @l0uieda13 Dig it. Great points for a photographer, I'm more into video so the 60D is still the shit and the camera to replace my SX20 IS. Now as I understand it, there is no AF however so that is a bit of a hassle so I will only use it for special occasions because I'm going a lot of photojournalism and don't have time to keep checking focus.

    But with the SX20 IS in a decent lighting situation I can set it on its little tripod and do whatever else I need to do. I think I will love it.

  • @KingCast65 You can AF during recording on 60D but it works just like AF while taking pics which is no good at all. So getting a follow focus and whip might be a good idea for more selective focus. if camera is gonna stay on a tripod and ur subjects are not moving closer or farther away, focusing isnt a real problem at all.

  • This isn't a preview, it's a "What I don't like about the 60D" video. 

  • @Slightlyevil From what I've noticed, this is what photographers do. Lol. They buy either Canon or Nikon and never look back. They invest all their money in the cameras and lenses they think are best after careful research in the beginning stages and anytime they're forced to second guess themselves they make the least costly decision which is to denounce the opposing brand in order to feel better about the equipment they'd rather be stuck with than to try and get rid of.

  • I really really wanna cut your hair. it would satisfy me

  • Had to stop watching, the blokes a annoying self centred prick !

  • i have the 60d

    what is the best mode to shoot car pictures

  • i have the 60D and I WAS TOLD that the only real difference between the 60D and 7D is the material it's made out of (7d being better) and the swivel display (which i find better for taking video). Other than that the picture and video quality are the same.

    Anyone want to back me up on this?

  • @trashbash2001 I've heard the same thing too. I'm getting the 60D.

  • @trashbash2001 sgrunt grar roar sgurgle gulp swooooosh yuk tsk Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • @EttoreMalessere you actually took the time type that?

  • @trashbash2001 Saw that in a side by comparo with those two and the T2i search for it here.

  • Why can't you change the ISO? If you're in any of the creative modes you should be able to press the ISO button and change it. Maybe read your manual. I've used a 50mm 1.4 on this camera and the pics are fantastic, but i've taken really good pics with my variable lenses too.

  • he deff made a good point with the on camera editing it just to say that it can do it

  • Appreciate your quick response.....one other question...do you recommend what type of lens I should use for video and shooting pics of kids sports games? Right now I have the 18-200mm (part of the kit)

  • can anyone help me with shooting in sports mode with this camera, the pics all come out blurry and I cant change the ISO setting....

  • @natantoine get out of the auto modes and go to P or AV and than you will have more control .

  • @JaredPolin or TV mode, right?

  • @natantoine change the focusing from one-shot to ai servo

  • @natantoine if you're shooting with a canon, change the focusing from one-shot to ai servo

  • @natantoine Go to TV mode and adjjust your FPS to prob like 250 W/flash. And set the iso to 200, should be a pro setting, The flash will make it a good looking on most lights.

  • thanks man, i have a t2i in the mail initiated by this video :) i like all ur videos n personality in them, great stuff hehe

  • I've got the 60D and i like it a lot! I think its a great camera! But i still believe that is not about the camera that is better i think the person who uses it that really makes the different! Anyway good review tho. 60D decent! Its a good camera anyway.

  • @Cheezmik me too bro! ive got a 60D! and it's sooo good!!

  • did you use eos 60d on this video? 

  • so basically you're recommending the rebel t2i more than the 60D? but i want the 60D. i just don't know what exactly is the difference between rebel t2i and 60D.

  • Came here 2 find out a/b the vid side of the cam. I'm trying 2 find a cheaper way to set aperture or focus on a vid cam w/o buying a semi pro vid camera. I like the vid cam you're using. Looks like the background is soft-so what vid cam did you use to make this vid?

    The plus side of going w/ a cam/vid cam like this is that my mom will chip in w/ me to buy it if it's a dslr b/c she is into photography & she takes my acting head shots so she's been looking to upgrade.

  • @JaredPolin have u tried the 2.8 lens on the 60D yet? what's the verdict, also, which size AFFORDABLE lens would you recommend using on the 60D to get that nice 35mm film look. Thanks so much. Keep the vids coming!

  • @BKLYNBOY7 the 50 1.8 or 1.4 would be a great option. I like the 1.4

  • @BKLYNBOY7 If you do not have the funds for the 50mm f1.4, get the 50mm f1.8. I have it and I love it especially for it's price.

  • @BKLYNBOY7 I would suggest to buy a 50mm 1.4 or if you're saving get 1.8...its very nice to get a prime first...its cheaper than other zoom lense plus you get a lower aperture capability...most important is that you practice practice practice... :)

  • Thank you for this Jared. i just got a t2i for xmas and was second guessing my self that i should have gotten the 60D but not anymore =)

  • Hi Jared does the Canon 60D have problems with the video in 1080 HD being choppy or a look of missing frames on the computer during preview? I'm having this problem with this MVI Quicktime mode, it's a real drag I can't even edit. I'm thinking a newer computer with more memory. What have you heard? By the way I like your style!

  • amen brother.

  • im camera editing when u can do on your computer and the fact of the scrren moves is that a camera dos not need to have a video made that and the fact of the camera was a pro model camera

  • your hair is badass

  • CARLITO! L-O-L

  • Fro Power. Love the fro and the info. Great! Hey what about pentax. we got the new k-r!

  • hey jared fro, what is really the difference btween jpeg and raw image?does it have something to do with bits?i really need a confirmation about the differences.

  • 60D has a aluminium frame with poly case.

    T2i has poly case and poly body.

    Flip out screen is great for video to shoot at different angles, which makes it worth the extra money, also better audio recording features.

    where are the cameras in this video?

  • 1:52 -- he said "in this D60, they also have..."

  • @PashaElectro "plastic toy" is totally exaggerating. the T2i is a plastic toy compared to those models, but the 60D is very solid, even though it's not as rigid as a metal body. The 50D is a dinosaur. 60D is better

  • @bacdoliljo agree!60d is totally solid.better than t2i..remember, canon D series are always better than rebel series.

  • wow, great review. Better than others I've seen. Thanks!

  • Where can I get that shirt?!?! haha

  • @SonnarProductions on the web site in my store.

  • If you wanna make an independent movie on a budget would you recommend the camera? I like the swivel lens & the mic adjustments the camera comes with.

  • but if some people have the money fore the 60d then get it but the t21 is not a peace of shit but i know enough ammeter photographer that use it

  • Canon DSLR cameras could nearly replace a Video Camera before, with the 6D they can! manual sound control and an adjustable swivel LCD. Nice I want one.

  • I have a 500d(t1i), and im looking for the upgrade, and alot of people have been saying the 60d is pointless, and im really stuck, im short on money and i already have some nice glass a 70-200 f4 "l" but im just stuck 60d or 7d as if i got the 60d id have more of a chance for nice glass but 7d id just have to keep my 70-200 and my 28mm 2.8. as the 60d appeals to me for video, but the 7d would be better for the future with more pro features... help :/ ??

  • damn... should have watched your video before i got this last week...

  • @360ch its ok nothing wrong with that camera enjoy it!!!

  • @JaredPolin I was going to buy either 60D or 7D or Panasonic GH2 because I use camera for shooting video and decided to go with 60D in the last minute when the store was just about to close... oh..well... I'll just enjoy this one until I save my money for later upgrades. But hey, thanks for uploading such a great review!

  • @360ch the 60D is only about $200 more than the T2i. The more solid feel of body on the 60D, better AF, audio gain control, top LCD, etc, etc are worth the difference. Is it a worthwhile upgrade from the T2i though? I would say no unless you really wanted those extra features.

  • @bacdoliljo I already bought 60D and i should say i'm quite satisfied with it. Thanks for the advise thought :)

  • @360ch enjoy it!

  • @360ch 60D is much better than the Nikon D7000. I've tried both to it's full potential and Canon rocks.

  • Can you wear a hood?

  • I was looking into the t2i, 60D and the 7D. I ended up with the 60D. I wanted to get the 7D but not enough funds. t2i is amazing but missing features that 60D has; tilt screen, 1080p @ 30fps and 720p @ 60fps, manual sound control, and more frames per second shooting. Waiting for "t3i" was my next option but moments will not wait a couple more months.

    I don't know why people aren't super crazy about it. I know I love it. Just my opinion.

  • 60D or Hf s20 for HD video and product reviews?

  • That Hair

    It Reminds me Shakakan

  • I'm glad you are including Canon reviews now. Thanks!

  • what is the camera you use for videos? what is the best camera to shoot photos and videos, I am wanting Full HD

  • Excellent video and good points. I am a Canon user and I agree with what you said. BTW, I have a Canon Xsi and now I have a 7D.

  • Bought the 60D and love it as a second body. I'm unsure why people are so upset about the polycarbonate body. Polycarbonate is what they use to make handguns and riot shields. It's pretty much indestructible in most cases.

    Mircoadjust is cool but it's one of those features that most people never really used anyway. If your lens has an issue send it off to repair and rent from borrowlens if you really need to shoot something in that focal length.

  • @JaredPolin hey there jared..i love ur reviews man.

    i want to ask u,wut do u recommend?

    the T2i or 60D?

    thx man

  • Manual Audio control on the 60D , only AGC on the 550D

  • the canon 60d is much better then the t2i... the lcd screen alone makes the 60d a much better buy for ur money..

  • Dude, thanks for this video! Could you please tell your opinion and compare these cameras?

    Nikon D90 vs Canon 60D with 18-135mm lens. I'm just starting, wanna know what to start with. I want a fast camera, "frames per second" does matter.

    Or maybe there is a better equivalent for 1100-1200$??? Doesn't matter Nikon or Canon, both are fine with me. So is there a better equivalent for such price?

    Thanks in advance

  • @Evrenius not a big fan of kit lenses at all. I like the nikons better of course as i like my nikons.

  • Good Review ... IF anyone wants to buy my T2I body .. which I paid 850. a month ago ... $675. Firm ...

    \

  • question which is the better camera as far as video quality goes..60d or t2i??

  • @thatniggbeme7 I think they are about the same if i am not mistaken.

  • Thanks that help me to make my mind ... I got the T2I nice cameras as soon as I learn more .. I'll jump in to 7d .. for now I have lot to learn .

  • semi pro and its a magnesium body under the plastic shell jared

  • 3.2 inch screen

  • im gonna get the 60d

  • I like how you can tell his Nikon bias! haha

    NIKON ALL THE WAY!

  • I'm just wondering, if the preview shows that Canon 60D its not good enough, well its funny... you're still buying the camera for the Review.. Canon will get happy for that....

  • @Ibanezpro270 Im not buying the 60d, il review it when i get my hands on it though.

  • Its great that it has wireless flash transmitter built in to the body but the 60d doesn't have flash sync terminal? can you still use a pocket wizard or something?

  • @griffspixs yea in the hot shoe.

  • Im thinkig of buying 550d to film bmx, but is it worth to buy the 60d insted? do it film in higher quality? Thanks

  • @viktornilsson93 no, the video quality is the same, but the flip out screen is worth the difference, , if you are using a DSLR for video..BUY THE 60D !

  • i totally agree with him about the t2i to the 7d and all that, i have a t2i that i got a couple of months ago and 3.7 pictures per second is more then enough especially for a beginner =p

  • Hey Jared sorry to keep asking you things but what do you think is a better camera for video Canon 60d or the 7d?

  • @The1911airsofter for video ? 60D no doubt ! that flip screen wins the day !

  • I want the camera just because of your hair. I fucking love it

  • @MotoDareDevil yes! xD lol

  • Ok I will.

  • Thanks

  • @The1911airsofter if you decide to purchase it please consider using the link on froknowsphoto to my amazon or b and h store. Thanks.

  • So you would go with the 60d?

  • @The1911airsofter if your video only yes, if your photos first video second im a nikon guy.

  • Hey Jared wich do you think does better video Canon 60d or the Nikon D7000?

  • @The1911airsofter well the d7000 isnt out yet, the 60d will offer the 60 frams a second that the nikon wont offer.

  • Jared, I am making videos and I want great quality what would you recamend SX1, T2i or the 60d? is the 60d a bad camera?

  • @The1911airsofter If you are looking to do videos and need audio input the 60d would be really good for that.

  • Jared, love your work!

    I'm looking at buying the 60d because i want to get into dslr shooting and also mainly for the full hd video.For a lens I was tossing up between the EF 24-105mm f4L IS and the EF 50mm f1.4.

    Which do you recommend?

    I was thinking the 24-105 for image stabilization...

    Your thoughts!!

  • @fester977 that wouldnt be bad for video that lens.

  • stupid 

  • Did I just hear an old focusing meter in the 60d?? *buys the d7000*

  • Nikon D7000!

  • i agree with you about the raw editing within the 60d, looks a bit childish...

  • Here's the only reason I'm considering this camera.... I can use the Eye-Fi SD card with it. Yes you can get an CF adaptor but it's not supported by Eye-Fi and does not always work. The only other option I know of is to spend a few thousand dollars more for a higher end camera that takes CF and SD cards. Any thoughts???

  • the 40d had the old 9 point focus like the old 5d has---the 50d got the improved 2.8 cross type version--so does the 60d-------//------the higher end 7d has the brand new focus system

  • 60D plastic composite body----the 50D has a magnesium alloy body----like the 7D

  • so now that the d7000 nikon is out wich is better picture and video. (short desciption)

  • @kingkarl666 Im a nikon guy id say the nikon just seems to have a ton of great features and they do amazing things in low light these days. So many pros have switched from canon to nikon for good reason.

  • @JaredPolin ya from what i've seen and read (comments) nikon seem to be more serious, but thanks and for video do u think that new cam will go head to head with maybe the t2i?

  • @JaredPolin not really. and that's just plain bullshit

  • I shoot RAW!!!!!!!!!

  • should I buy this as my first dslr? Please answer :)

  • what has better quality in taking nice pictures?? 60D or 550D? :) Thanks!

  • IMHO, the 60D would be a better first choice than the t2i. For the money, you get a more substantial body, and that will give you a more enjoyable experience when shooting. It could also make you feel that an upgrade to the 7d isn't as substantial as it is with the t2i. Saving you money in the long run.

  • which much better to buy 7d or 60d

    pls answer i can't decide

    what will i buy

  • @jeline0708 7d has some better features but the 60d is less expensive.

  • @JaredPolin

    thanks a lot for the advice :)

    it really helps ;)

  • @jeline0708 It really depends on your budget and what you will be using with. The advantage of a 7d would be faster FPS and better quality image in higher ISO. Also lots of buttons on the camera for easy access but could be intemidating and confusing. the 60d on the other hand is a lot cheaper. Buy the body and spend more money for a better lens and buy light room 3, this will solve the iso problems and lot more and shoot in raw for more capabilities when editing pictures. good luck. =)

  • which much better to buy 7d or 60d

    pls answer i can't decide

    what will i buy

  • I am a film major, and I have a couple kids in my class with the t2i and the 7d. But in my opinion I think even though its right in the center of both, it is best. Because it has all the features of the 7d and the best part is, the lighter body. Plus the swivel screen is a must. Plus isnt anything auto, amateur. The manual focus is fine. I think its a great beginner camera but it is capable of giving professional quality, the body is lighter, awesome new tech. we aren't working out here....lol

  • @Dubi00 A lot depends on how you intend to use the camera. I personally shoot stills first and videos second but if you are looking video than yea it has all those features you would love.

    

  • @JaredPolin Ya I am definitely a film person, but I also wanted to get something I could take photos on the side. So that is why I am looking into the camera because I like that it has film features and adequate photography. Thanks for replying your comments help.

  • @Dubi00 sounds good. good luck.

  • i'm a canon user and i thought the 60D was total fail. way to go backward canon

  • @Xxryebread2511xX Really? I think they will do well with the 60d. Poor-man's 7d without compromising too much (body size compared to t2i) And the swivel screen is a step forwards! :-)

  • Love the review. Tell it like it is.

    SVTH.COM.AU

  • Really bad value for 60D, i will buy T2i with a better lens..

  • @lycongtu Agreed. 100% - that's what I will be doing!

  • I agree, but it is better thant the horrible nikon3100 lololol 3100 lolololol what a stupid name lolol

  • Did they fix the AGC on this one, not like on the 7D and 550D.

    So that when you plug in an external mic, you won't get hiss?

  • @RobbertGroenendijk not to sure yet.

  • @JaredPolin I just figured it out, it has manual audio controls! yay!

  • @RobbertGroenendijk

    Are you sure its not you mic?

    Also, if you are in AUTO audio level mode, the audio is then limited/compressed and if you shoot something that has really quiet audio, the limiter boosts up the volume and there you get the hiss. (I dont have D550 or D7 so i am just guessing.)

    I would use the AUTO volume only if shooting a concert or something that you know has high audio levels.

  • @assimunch I don't own one as well, but i have been shooting with a 550D, it only has an auto volume, so that sucks ;D
