Canon 60D or Canon T5i?
I doubt you would tell the difference between them in the real world. There are tests and reviews on line showing that 1 is better than the other at this or that but unless you spend your life photographing black and white images of parallel lines then you really will not see a difference. By far the most important factor in determining picture quality in 2 cameras as close as these 2 is the lens. I would go for the 700D and spend the difference on a really good lens such as the EF-S 15-85 f/3.5-5.6.
Is the Canon EOS 60D still the best?
No, it is not, unsurprisingly. It's an 8 year old DSLR, and has been far surpassed by newer DSLRs such as the 80d and d500, which employ many newer features and better image quality. The dynamic range at high ISOs is hard to work with, Live-view AF is painfully slow (even with USM lens), and the dated focus system that omits MFA could be considered mediocre today.That still doesn't stop it from being an excellent camera, still capable of doing many things. I still use it, and feel that it's still every bit as revolutionary as it was the day it was announced. They say the best camera is the one you have with you, and that's certainly right.So OP, although the Canon 60d is no longer the best DSLR on the market, if you're on a tight budget and want to get one, I would go for it. It's a great camera, and if you know how to get around the drawbacks, it's as great as the best DSLR on the market.
Buying a canon eos 60d, 600d, or 550d?
I had to choose between Canon eos rebel t3i (600d) and the eos 60d, I chose the 60d because I shoot photos more than videos, did I make the right decision? I didn't buy anything yet, because now I'm deciding between the eos 60d, the eos 600d, and the eos 550d. help me pick the right one, I need the one with best quality image, and the one that goes better for photographs. Also tell me what's the difference between each of these cameras. After comparing the cameras, and telling me your opinion in which I should buy, tell me which lenses I could buy with it such that the total is 1000$. Thank you!
What is the best lens for a Canon 60D?
Personally I have an Canon 700D camera. The 60D and 700D are both Canon's APS-C camera and can take APS-C lenses. This gives it a better range of lenses to choose to from because it can uses both the crop frame EF-S lenses and full-frame EF lenses. I would assume you're not looking for the most expensive lenses such as the Canon L-series lenses because any of those lenses are fantastic lenses. My personal favorite EF-S lens is the 24mm f/2.8 STM lenses. It is a general purpose prime lens with a very useful focal length of 38.4mm that's nearly equivalent to what our eyes see. It costly roughly $150 dollar and is really good value for money. Another great lens would be the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM (or non-STM). This is a very good low-light performer and it's focal length is really good for portrait photography. It is a full-frame lens so you can use it on full-frame camera such as the 6D or 5D's. It costs about $125 and is fantastic value for money. Additionally, I have the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens. Assuming you have the 18-55mm kit lens, this lens provides a better range and a better build quality and is a overall good performer. However, image quality from the above prime lenses (24mm&50mm) beats this lens out right, due to better optics from easier construction in a fixed focal length lens. If you want a zoom lens with comparable quality to prime lenses, you can look into the EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM lens. This is best zoom lens you can get for a Canon APS-C camera, although somewhat pricy at about $850. At the end of the day, it's not the camera or lens that's taking the picture, it's you who's taking the picture. Any lens and camera setup can take a great pictures! Start with the simplest gear and build up from what you need! Other decent lenses to consider include 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM (Great wide angle lens for landscape or large group shots)55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM (Great telephoto lens)I personally own these along with the 24mm, 50mm and 18-135mm.
Canon 60D or Sony Alpha a6000?
snapsort is not a very good place to get comparisons. All they do is compare specs on paper, but don't do any kind of real-world tests. That's where youtube videos, sites like cameralabs.com, dpreview.com and imaging-resource.com are a must. Not saying that their conclusion is wrong in this case, just that they aren't as thorough as other sites nor do they take in consideration its usability in the field. Know this, the A6000 is a mirrorless camera that, with the use of adapters, take your existing Canon lenses. In fact, with the right lens adapter, it can accept any lens from any manufacturer. Nikon, Canon, Leica, Pentax, etc... While this may sound great, and it is, you need to know that with this versatility, you give up decent AF. The AF system in any mirrorless camera is still not as fast or accurate as even the cheapest of DSLRs. Add on the adapters, and things go from bad to worse. But, that's okay for those who are fine with manual focus. The AF system in the old 60D is the same as the one in the 40D, so no improvements there. The 60D was introduced in November of 2010, and quite frankly, I wouldn't consider it anymore since there are newer models like the 2-year-old 70D. Canon has been heavily criticized for not upgrading their camera for years and years, while Nikon, Sony, and Pentax have been coming out with new models. Here's a link that I found comparing the 40D to 60D: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/3682... Here's a exert from a forum on upgrading to the 60D: " The 60D will be an upgrade to the 40D only if you need extra cropping ability, or larger prints, and video, and a brighter, clearer rear screen. Other than that the autofocus is the same, and the 60D will be a camera that is more demanding of perfect camera technique in order to get very sharp images, much more so than the 40D." Personally, I just don't think that you should go mirrorless for what you're doing. In fact, I would argue that you should be going full frame instead of APS-C. I would suggest that you rent an a6000 for a weekend and see how it works out. Lensrentals.com or borrowlenses.com should have them.
Canon 60D Alternative?
I shoot with the t1i and it's an excellent camera. When you're comparing apples to apples and looking at shots from the 60D I hope you understand they were shot by experienced photographers who never, ever use a camera like this in full auto. That's only the beginning. I hope you also understand that virtually any dslr can do what the 60D does in the hands of someone who actually understands the relationship between ISO, aperture, shutter speed and light. Also understand that any photo used for promotion of any camera has been through pretty extensive post production to make it look "wonderful" I don't care what camera it is, if anyone uses the very best dslr camera on full auto the photos won't look much different than a point and shoot. The real trick is the skill and understanding of the photographer using any particular camera.
I am confused between a Nikon D5300 & a Canon 60D. Which camera should I buy for fashion/model photography?
I see this question time to time, and never go away on my feed, so let me just answer it so it will go away from my feed.If I framed this question in the way to others had answers,They often answer in the way APS-C is not for fashion.model, go to full frame.Which is bit of truth and bit of false.If you have full discretion on project / production, they do not give a damn even if you shoot with point and shoot. Yes even for fashion photography or advertisement project. If this is such a no-no in the industry, Terry richardson would have been out of job long time ago.However, if you asked ‘is that mean you can get away with it just using APS-C camera?” then answer is unfortunately no and it is really depend on the scope of project. You have to be aware what your camera and lens can do or can not do.What type of style, looks and final result you are after is what going to determine choice of camera, lens, and lighting. You want to be very flexible there.In the case of fashion or model portrait shoot, it is really all about lighting, then some lens, and camera… believe or not, camera body is not necessary highest priority.Even 8 mpix or 12mpix will do for print publications works. News paper ad for example can be done easily with fairly low res camera. You just need to nail lighting and post just right so it will look nice when printed or exported in particular medium.If you want to do some intern / apprenticeship with studio or publications, you might be lot better off with full size sensor camera… because how those place are set up. But, some of large studio are set up for 60D as secondary camera for assistant etc. So, APS-C definitely can do the job. It really does not matter in my opinion.If you are your own and shoot as you please, provided you can deliver result… you can use anything. If you can convince model to pose for you, you can even use toy camera or iphone.Picking 60D / D5300 back then or picking 80D/D5600 today will be least of worry when there are lens and lighting to think about.So, just pick Canon or Nikon after studying lens, and start worry about others things that are important for such shoot.If you asked me though, I would just say pick Canon xxD body and get decent lens, and start shooting… but that is my personal opinion. You will do just fine with Nikon camera too.

Which one should I buy Canon 60D or Nikon D5200 ?
One of the *main* points of using a camera with great manual controls is that it has great manual controls. If you depend on the *auto* feature all the time (you said "better focus must"), then don't bother with a dSLR - a point & shoot should be fine. On top of this, if the lens is good, then "better focus" can happen. If you use any dSLR with a cheap, poorly made, lens, then it does not matter what the camera body is... And last, if the person using the camera (whether point and shoot or dSLR or something else) does not take the time to learn to use the equipment, chances are pretty high the composition of the picture won't be very good... conversely, any camera in the hands of someone who takes the time to learn the camera they have been handed and who has some experience can capture great shots... If the two cameras you list are what we get to choose from for you, I suggest you flip a coin. Either can do the job, assuming the right lens is on the camera... but the majority of the effort needs to come from you (not the equipment).
Canon 60d video autofocus?
The 60D is great for professional video, assuming you pair it with the right lens. But there is NO continuous auto focus. You will need to switch to manual and focus continuously when the subject moves closer or further away from you. This takes practice and many just don't like it. Even cameras like some Nikon and Sony DSLRs that have continuous autofocus don't work well and is slow keeping up. You will need a regular video camera if you don't want to manually focus. A new sony will be announced this or next week that should improve autofocus in DSLRs but for now, its manual only
