Great stuff blunty, I too have a 60D and also use it just for hobby purposes. I LOVE this camera but if you're talking about being "serious" about videography/photography you really need to indulge in that FULL FRAME like a 5D MKII. Now I'm not saying a 60D can't be professional grade but a lot of newer people who pick up the 60D may not know about this so please read up on the 1.6 crop sensor and find out your lens is not neccesarily the distance you think you're at :(
Tbh in this camera, Canon have seemed to over prioritise on the video on this camera, the only reason most people buy this camera is for video not for stills.
Are 550d and 60d _basically_ the same? Like, you can get the same image quality, but the 60d just has these extra features and is more solid? Is the video quality the same on both cameras? Sorry for these dumb questions, but I'm just starting out.. :P
@TonyTonyChopper93 They use the same sensor. The 7D does as well. It's the "extras" you get with each model as you go up (excluding sensor) that count. I have the 60d as I wanted something that could shoot more quickly and have better focusing than the rebel series. It all comes down to lenses really. If you are serious you will end up spending way more on lenses that will then be used on your next camera.
What are you talking about? For being "almost built for video" it is rather inconvenient to only be able to capture 12 continuous min of HD video and less than an hour of continuous standard video filming. Blunty did say that "The 60D has some of the best video functions that Canon has on any DSLRs today" but with that being said if your needs are that of a videographer than you should invest in a device designed for video not a still picture camera with "video options bolted on"
@Wuchagot 12 minutes, that is why you press the record button again, or get a bigger memory card with fast reading. Depending what type of film maker you are, this one may be good, especially beauty shots with the bokuh. I am not getting into a DSLR vs whatever argument though.
Your photos are just stunning! Every gear head out there who claims that you MUST buy a 5D and whole range of expensive L-lenses to get great quality photos should be forced to sit down and take a look at the results you have achieved with the 60D and its cheap kit lens! A real eye opener!
@larspallesen no, they must be forced to sit in a chair, chained down, have they eyes pried open, hydrated by someone, and have their mind broken like Alex from A Clock Work Orange.
reason: Even if they saw excellent pictures such as these taken with such mid-range equipment they'd simply brush it's quality aside, as their ignorance wouldn't let them change their retarded opinions.
Ive had this camera for about two months so far and i cant put it down. I love it, im using it to film and it has been treating me great. And the flip out screen is so usefull for film, makes you wonder why dosnt every dslr have that feature. Great Camera.
Have you made a review of the temron lens? If not, could you. I just ordered it but thinking of cancelling it and save for at better one. Some people hate this, other like it -I don´t know what to think!
@princemSALEM In my opinion the 600D is best for film quality and settings. 60D is just as good but obviously has a better photography all around than both 600D and 550D. I would recommend the 600D if you're just going to be using it to film or film most on there. 60D and 600D and pretty much top range even though the 550D is v.good, the 60 and 600D is just better built.
@6m8HAMERR i just hate the 600d..i'm narwoing it to 550 and 60..in my opinion the 550d give more film quality movie ..but then again ..the 60d is sharper and would give better quality in events and documentaries..plus it doesn't over heat..but i just love the 550d colors..i don't know
can i ask you some questions, i want to make youtube video's of drumming and playing piano is this a good camera to do that or do you have any other idea
you have some amazing photos. i am not a pro just a shutterbug in the learning mode and you have inspired me to get out and keep shooting. i love that last black and white photo of the tiger is there any way you could sell me that photo with an autograph i would love to hang that up in my room. thanks again your an inspiration to many of us.
bravo!!! finally !!! a no pretend no personality but just principle review of a camera!! thank you sir. thank you very much!! i understand it and love it.
Wow Blunty. I watched this video when you first posted it and was impressed, but I've grown to love photography a lot more since, and I now really appreciate and love your composition and editing. I particularly like the photo of the circular gate/window thing at 3:31.
I bought a 60d 2 months ago and took it to Asia for some snaps, video and pics are stunning to me and I have never own anything past a point and shoot. I am also learning to post edit with lightroom 3 and CS5.
@POWASLIDEPRODUCTIONS then why does it have problems with the video mode like blunty pointed out? if it was made for video wouldn't it work flawlessly? and also wouldn't the body be in the shape of a video camera rather than a DSLR?
In this review you state that if you were just using it for video you would not recommended this camera. What camera would you recommended to shoot mainly video in the $800 range?
@Blunty3000 third year doing photography in education, and i abit before, pretty creative working at the top of my class and thinking this would be a good camera to move onto after my entry level sony slr thats just a bit dated now and doesnt pack the punch. this has gotten fairly cheap recently, would it suit my needs for lots of portrait work , and creative film?
!Hi men!. I have a canon 60d, and i want to now why, when i chose the "m" mode(manual) the photos have much blur. its very dificul to have a nice picture with this mode. Please help me. How can i eliminate the blur on the pics?
hello blunty when you say that you would kinda rather buy a vid camera rather than the 60D for vid. purposes, what kind of vid camera are you talking about ?? like a 2000 dollar one, or like a 1080x1090 cam corder ?
Have you not seen the videos and films captured by the 60D? For the price range it is second to none. The 60D actually excels at video more so than it does still photography. Most people buy it for the video not the photography.
Well, I can't speak for any other cinematographer but I just shot a music video with the Canon 60D, I must say, it looks incredible! As an experienced director / cinematographer with 6 full length features under my belt. Canon 60D rocks!!!! Real talk! It's all in who is handling it.
The DSLR's are actually being built specifically for Video as well as stills, recently i mean. Too many professonal videographers need the depth of field that DSLR's offer, so they started making them for video as well.
Cheers for that Blunty. I have heard that canon 60d has overheat issues and the reason why canon 60d is easier to find on used than d7000 is because nikon d7000 has not got any issues what so ever but people seem to find errors with canon 60d and thats why its available everywhere!
Now the canon 60d prices is nearly touching d7000 because of the demand or what happend in Japan...
Do u think Nikon d7000 is the better choice than canon 60d?
I like Canon 60D though ive not used it but still :)
Do you not use the 18-135 lens that come with the 60d? Are those the only 2 lens that you use all the time? I am trying to get a new lens now for my 60d and not sure what to go with. Thanks for any help you can give.
with a wealth of similar types of reviews on the web, this is a breath of fresh air. Nice pics, considering the lenses u have on. Overexposed or not, its personal preference and I think they look great. Well done, i enjoyed that
60D vs 600D(t3I) in filming? Since i would only use it mainly for the video feature which would u say is better in low light and can do high iso with out noise?
my monitor is fine. All the other canon eos 60d videos I've watched today look perfect. Perhaps it's just your youtube video and not the 60d settings. Even your (?) pic at the beginning looks really blown out. And I say all the pics, but after going back and watching it again it's really more like 1/3 of the pics and about 1/2 of the videos. I should be specific on that.
@Blunty3000 have you even seen the very first pic, YOUR PIC, in this video?!??! The lady at 49 seconds, gorilla at 1:20, your tiger video, again your tiger video, and then most any pic after that minus a gator and a group shot. My monitor is fine, and so is everyone elses. Check your settings.
In all honesty, I can see how absolutely perfect white balance, (that's a a compliment by the way) could look "over exposed" to a person with limited knowledge. Lol
@Blunty3000 Finally got mine. As primarily a photojournalist it is the bees knees. It will take the lead over the point shoot SX 20 IS which is great for hurry up and get the shot stuff but some courtrooms are so dark you really get hurt trying to use more than half of all of that zoom.
@ChaosRiddenReaper Yep. They look over exposed to anyone. Regardless to what he wants to think our monitors are fine and despite what his histogram says alot of his pics in this video are blown out where ever there is direct lighting. I'm sure his blinkies are going crazy. there is no detail and almost no color in his blown out spots Some of the shots that are not completly blown out looked washed. It almost looks like he was tryign to achieve this faded effect. My 60D does a hella better job.
@myleadmail I'm trying to figure out of you even know what "overexposed" MEANS. none of the bright end is blown out, every histogram of every shot confirms this. Perhaps you're somehow confused by the fact I like to have a high level of saturation.
Hey Blunty can I ask you a question, it's about the Tamron lens. I'm getting these weird purple and green glares in my pictures, did you in-counter this issue, do you know how to fix it or is my lens just busted?
@Huskeyyyyy Sounds like chromatic aberration to me, this could be caused by a faulty lens. Because of the way Tamron(along with Sigma and other third party manufacturers) make their lenses, they tend to be a bit hit and miss.
Yo. Great work on the pictures. Some of the best I've seen. I've got a friend who's big into photography(Big time hobby) and I'll definately be showing him this video to see some of the amazing shots he can get with the camera, since he's been looking for suggestions. Any chance I can get a few of those tiger portraits from you for my mom? She LOVES tigers, and I showed her the video for the pictures, and she loved those. Thanks if ya can. No big if ya can't. Appareciate it! Keep it up!
How many of the pics did you touch up in post for the video? Just asking because some of the shots looked amazing and some look touched up but how many. Which are you most proud of?
I've been looking at picking up one of these cameras for still and video work. What kind of compromises? mainly the biggest compared to video specific cameras.
I was very impressed with the crispness of the photo of Luna Park and the location you took it from, I suspect Dawes point, under the south western pylon of the harbour bridge, about 500 metres away. Better focus than what my eyes have ever been able to produce.
@Blunty3000 good call...I have been using my new dslr for 7 months..Totaly love it...too many people start flame wars regarding what they use for cameras....for me I'm a pentax man I went to a wedding last saturday and there was Nikons, Canons, Pentax and Sony all around...Please tell me though you are shooting raw.
Another loaded question so please god not flame wars about raw v's jpeg...
@charvelgtrs When people are prepared to pay for it. You know that only thing, supply and demand. They'll supply it when there's a commercially viable demand for it.
@Bluntry3000 With all due respect, I wasn't trying to "dis" you or your camera. Yes, I do prefer Nikon, but I would never get into a fanboy argument about it
Hey Blunty can you do video tutorials on how to take pictures like setting ISO, Aperture and what ever else specially night shots say with stars and the moon.. i might just need a more expensive camera but ive been fiddling around with my manual settings trying to take pictures of stars and their not comming out as clear as i would like anyway id like to understand all this stuff cause im interested in photography.. i have a Canon Powershot SX210 IS btw
I'm myself a passionate snapper from sweden and I really enjoy all of your videos but this one was especially good and your pictures where great :-) Hope to see more!
I have the 30D...do you think it's worth trading it in for whatever measly bit of cash I can get and buying this? I mostly use it for landscapes, some wild life photography 2.
Also, people who are used to point and shoot cameras and are looking for better quality should check out the new 1/3" chip Canon HF-G10, or the new HF-M series camcorders. The sensor is bigger than most camcorders and the total effective megapixels is just over 2 million, so you won't get any downscaling artifacts you see on higher megapixel cameras that shoot video.
I love my T2i which is the predecessor to the 60D there are mods available that i have yet to find out if they work on the 60D that give you a whole group of video options too,( I bought mine for video) the photo enthusiast in me was also very pleased by the photo options on this cam the mod i use on mine is called Majic Lantern. and it allows volume control and monitoring as well as several other video controls. aside from the screen and focus points not much different in 60D and T2i though
Hey Blunty, I have a JVC HM100U, how do I get the the blurred background with a focus on a subject on it... I see alot of people on YouTube using the 60D and it seems to work really good for that and a clear image. Could you review the camera or give me some tips? Thanks :)
I'm guessing the sensor in your camera is 1/3" chip. The sensors in Canon HDSLR's are around the same size as Super 35mm film, so it's a lot easier to get that narrow depth of field (Blurred Background).
You are just not going to be able to get the same narrow depth of field with a 1/3" chip camera unless you buy one of those 35mm adapters. The best you can do now is back up and zoom in on your subject.
@xTurnipTimex Rather then try to explain it in 500 characters here, I suggest you google for "Depth of field", you'll find several articles explaining it, how it is achieved, and how best to exploit it.
@Blunty3000 Okay Thanks! I check it out and what not, what I am looking for is how to get a shallow depth of field on my JVC HM100 I saw some stuff about using a Letus Lens or something, do you have any thing to add or how I can achieve a shallow depth of field?
Buy a HDSLR if you want to achieve really shallow depth of field. Though, I'd wait until 2nd generation Canon HDSLR's with Digic V processing is released.
I love love LOVE my 60D, I got it as a replacement for my 30D which passed away several months ago. I've been using this semipro series for a few years now, as I go to art school, but take photo and video classes merely for fun.
The video was just an extremely pleasant bonus. :)
@TheEuroGamerz Its aimed more so at an 'experienced hobbyist', meaning for your first DSLR it would be a fantastic camera but maybe a bit too much for a first time. If your still testing the waters as to if this hobby is for you, look at cheaper alternatives, the 1000D or 550D are fantastic substitutes and will save you a lot more money.
You explain that you wouldn't recommend the 60D as a priority for video. Could you explain why maybe in a video response in comparing with the video camera you do use. I wish to upgrade my compact camera to the 60D for its incredible power but also a replacement from my flip to the 60D because it just worked a lot better at night and just alot more clear
GODS DAMN IT BLUNTY!!! Why did you have to put a random shot of a spider in there?!? YOU SUCK!! *shivvers with disgust* So many beautiful shots of animals ruined by a freaky little monster...
Nate, these are superb pictures. The Canon 60D sure does a fine job, but photography is also about shooing the right things the right moments and choosing the best pictures later on, and you did that fantastically. Kudos!
I wish I could take pictures like yours

Even your (?) pic at the beginning looks really blown out. And I say all the pics, but after going back and watching it again it's really more like 1/3 of the pics and about 1/2 of the videos. I should be specific on that.

Everything looks too bright, white, and washed out is what I mean. My limited knowledge makes me think "overexposed".
myleadmail 11 months ago
@myleadmail Then you should probably calibrate your monitor properly, I assure you, none of these pics are overexposed.

@Blunty3000 have you even seen the very first pic, YOUR PIC, in this video?!??! The lady at 49 seconds, gorilla at 1:20, your tiger video, again your tiger video, and then most any pic after that minus a gator and a group shot. My monitor is fine, and so is everyone elses. Check your settings.

In all honesty, I can see how absolutely perfect white balance, (that's a a compliment by the way) could look "over exposed" to a person with limited knowledge. Lol

@Blunty3000 Finally got mine. As primarily a photojournalist it is the bees knees. It will take the lead over the point shoot SX 20 IS which is great for hurry up and get the shot stuff but some courtrooms are so dark you really get hurt trying to use more than half of all of that zoom.

@ChaosRiddenReaper Yep. They look over exposed to anyone. Regardless to what he wants to think our monitors are fine and despite what his histogram says alot of his pics in this video are blown out where ever there is direct lighting. I'm sure his blinkies are going crazy. there is no detail and almost no color in his blown out spots Some of the shots that are not completly blown out looked washed. It almost looks like he was tryign to achieve this faded effect. My 60D does a hella better job.

myleadmail 11 months ago
@myleadmail I'm trying to figure out of you even know what "overexposed" MEANS. none of the bright end is blown out, every histogram of every shot confirms this. Perhaps you're somehow confused by the fact I like to have a high level of saturation.

Hey Blunty can I ask you a question, it's about the Tamron lens. I'm getting these weird purple and green glares in my pictures, did you in-counter this issue, do you know how to fix it or is my lens just busted?

Blunty3000 1 year ago

wolfy317 8 months ago
@Huskeyyyyy Sounds like chromatic aberration to me, this could be caused by a faulty lens. Because of the way Tamron(along with Sigma and other third party manufacturers) make their lenses, they tend to be a bit hit and miss.

How many of the pics did you touch up in post for the video? Just asking because some of the shots looked amazing and some look touched up but how many. Which are you most proud of?
I've been looking at picking up one of these cameras for still and video work. What kind of compromises? mainly the biggest compared to video specific cameras.
Hope all is well :)

I was very impressed with the crispness of the photo of Luna Park and the location you took it from, I suspect Dawes point, under the south western pylon of the harbour bridge, about 500 metres away. Better focus than what my eyes have ever been able to produce.

Also, people who are used to point and shoot cameras and are looking for better quality should check out the new 1/3" chip Canon HF-G10, or the new HF-M series camcorders. The sensor is bigger than most camcorders and the total effective megapixels is just over 2 million, so you won't get any downscaling artifacts you see on higher megapixel cameras that shoot video.

I love my T2i which is the predecessor to the 60D there are mods available that i have yet to find out if they work on the 60D that give you a whole group of video options too,( I bought mine for video) the photo enthusiast in me was also very pleased by the photo options on this cam the mod i use on mine is called Majic Lantern. and it allows volume control and monitoring as well as several other video controls. aside from the screen and focus points not much different in 60D and T2i though

Hey Blunty, I have a JVC HM100U, how do I get the the blurred background with a focus on a subject on it... I see alot of people on YouTube using the 60D and it seems to work really good for that and a clear image. Could you review the camera or give me some tips? Thanks :)
xTurnipTimex 1 year ago
@xTurnipTimex
I'm guessing the sensor in your camera is 1/3" chip. The sensors in Canon HDSLR's are around the same size as Super 35mm film, so it's a lot easier to get that narrow depth of field (Blurred Background).
You are just not going to be able to get the same narrow depth of field with a 1/3" chip camera unless you buy one of those 35mm adapters. The best you can do now is back up and zoom in on your subject.
charvelgtrs 1 year ago
@xTurnipTimex Rather then try to explain it in 500 characters here, I suggest you google for "Depth of field", you'll find several articles explaining it, how it is achieved, and how best to exploit it.
Blunty3000 1 year ago 4
@Blunty3000 Okay Thanks! I check it out and what not, what I am looking for is how to get a shallow depth of field on my JVC HM100 I saw some stuff about using a Letus Lens or something, do you have any thing to add or how I can achieve a shallow depth of field?
xTurnipTimex 1 year ago
@xTurnipTimex
Buy a HDSLR if you want to achieve really shallow depth of field. Though, I'd wait until 2nd generation Canon HDSLR's with Digic V processing is released.

@TheEuroGamerz Its aimed more so at an 'experienced hobbyist', meaning for your first DSLR it would be a fantastic camera but maybe a bit too much for a first time. If your still testing the waters as to if this hobby is for you, look at cheaper alternatives, the 1000D or 550D are fantastic substitutes and will save you a lot more money.

You explain that you wouldn't recommend the 60D as a priority for video. Could you explain why maybe in a video response in comparing with the video camera you do use. I wish to upgrade my compact camera to the 60D for its incredible power but also a replacement from my flip to the 60D because it just worked a lot better at night and just alot more clear
