Canon 60D Preview

http://froknowsphoto.com/

Here is a preview of the just announced Canon 60D DSLR body. Expect a lot more Canon reviews, unboxing and Sniff tests as we move forward on http://froknowsphoto.com/

Here are the specs on this just announced camera with my thoughts.

18 MP APS-C CMOS sensor
Nice Sensor, will give you some pretty good Hi-ISO performance and solid video.

Advanced creative features with Basic +
I am not a fan of in camera corrections or editing, why edit on a 3 inch screen when you have something better at home.

Vari-angle 7.7cm (3.0") 3:2 ratio LCD
Cool idea, but not very practical for shooting photos, good for low or high angle video shooting.

Full HD movies with manual control
Great feature to have all the different HD frame rates as well as audio mic input for better quality.

DIGIC 4
Same processor as other canon cameras




ISO 100-6400, H:12800
Huge range, quality probably falls apart around 3200 will have to test one out to see.

5.3fps shooting for up to 58 JPEGs
Would like to know how many RAW frames you can bugger opposed to Jpeg

9-point cross type AF System
A major FAIL as this is an old AF system that was in the 50d.

iFCL metering with 63-zone Dual-layer Sensor
New metering system this is a good thing

Integrated Speedlite transmitter
This is something the nikons have done for a while

In-camera RAW processing
A joke, do not edit your raw files in the camera!!!!

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....

[JaredPolin]

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

[BKLYNBOY7]

@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!

[JaredPolin]

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

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

[cleartick]

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...

[jmizark87]

@JaredPolin or TV mode, right?

[Voxnulla]

@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.

[guguemichaels]

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?
