Official Canon EOS 60D User Thread Part II


I Just bought my 60D yesterday; )
came with 18-55mm
EF50mm f1.8 II ( love the effect )

was using a G12 for about a year...
finally did a small up-grade!

Look forward into sharing my experiences.
 

Using 60D with 24-105 f4 L w/battery grip and 580EX II :D
 

I have the same problem with my 60D but a little different. Having owned the 550D and used the 7D, noise level at ISO 400 and below seems the same across the models. Yes, there is noise and it's not perfect. However, at ISO 800 and above, noise becomes apparent, and I start seeing white/blue/red dots at random over any image at 1/60 sec. I've seen many 100% untouched samples and mine seems worse.

My 60D is now at CCC for investigation.

I suggest you google for 60d sample images similar to the ones you took in terms of exposure and settings (eg. indoors, evening, etc.), and check the exif data to verify. If they look much better than what you get at the same ISO, you could have a bad copy.

Take a look at the link which I found:

Thanks bro.. seems like noise is present in that pic even at iso 100...

Was kinda getting paranoid. CSC said no issue with my camera...

guess will have to rely on post processing NR to get usable pics

Hope ur issue gets resolved... would hate to go hunting for another camera body..

Happy CNY
 

Hi all, I just dropped my 60D 1 week ago. Everything still working fine just got some scratches on the body :(
Was thinking should I send my camera for " Body check up" or should I just leave it since its working fine

Hmm cont using for awhile and decide? Unless ur warrenty is ending soon. Cos defects sometimes only show up after awhile
 

anyone here using "Back Focus"? Been using it quite a while. At first I feel awkward.
Now I got used to it already. Actually it's better in control

I thought warranty only covers manufacturing defects and not personal imposed damage?

Haha god luck. Cos if nothing happen u send in for check the csc may not accept since there is no confirmed defects .
 

I can't seem to do 5fps on the 60D with the class 6 SD card. Max around 3 fps it will pause reading already. Is there something wrong with the card or should I get a better one? I need to do burst shots on many occasions. Any recommendation? Shooting purely RAW.

i think there is a site somewhere that shows us which class cards can shoot up to how many fps. try googling it?
 

anyone got it with the free canon bag ?

wondering if it's able to fit both 16-35 ii and 70-200 2.8 is with a body in any kinda way.. thanks in advance :)

There are 2 bags they giving. Depending on shop I think. I got a quite big one and my friend got a smaller version of it at another shop

Ok I gave up. Sold the camera already. Noted that it is almost impossible to do burst shots, even with class 10 SD. 5.3 fps don't really work as mentioned. Haiz, been doing video mainly with this camera, now then noticed got this problem. Will consider my options again. May just get the 550D or 600D since I feel that it's about the same in this area and video.

You can tell the shop you do not want the small messenger bag and indicate in the receipt bag not collected. Then bring the receipt down to CSC to request for the bigger one, which is much more useful imo.

Icic. I got the big one from the shop. But abit too bulky for me
 

Problem with Bulb mode for Long exposure with Canon 60 D.

Did any CSers outthere encounter similar problem? But checked with canon's C.Service Technical help desk, they said it is not unusual.

when i set to Bulb mode to take long exposure image, may be set to 5 sec, 10, or longer, the image will appear in LCD monitor only almost twice the duration of the time frame i set for taking long exposure.

for example, i set to 10 SEc , the red light would light up and dispear aboout 10 sec, but would take another 10 sec or what ever time frame i set for the image to appear on the LCD monitor.

it is unlike other canon DSLR model, which image would appear exactly immediately after red light is off, let sy set for 10 sec, or 1 mins, red red light would off at the time frame set, image would just appear in LCD immediately.

just want to verify with other 60D users anything wrong with my 60 D.

Thank you.
