I'm using a 60D and it's fantastic. It's also forced me to really learn its limitations and becoming a better filmmaker by understanding the core aspects of filmmaking! Awesome video!!
Dude couldn’t ask for more! That’s what I’ve done with it as well and I think it’s pretty great to understand what it can’t do and how you can still make something amazing. I appreciate you watching
I agree I love this camera. The 60d is the best camera investment I've ever made. Great video and happy to see another great new video keep up the good work 👍
I purchased one of these yesterday along with some other equipment. This will be the first camera! I am excited but nervous to have invested so heavily in something I have minimal practical knowledge of. This video definitely eased some of my anxiety about my decision. I've wanted this since I was a kid, I'm ready to learn and grow. If you don't bet on yourself, no one else will.
That is great. I know it will be a bit hard at first but the more time you put in the easier it will be. I know first hand just starting out is scary but I’m sure once you get comfortable with the camera you’ll be so proud of the photos/videos you make. Thanks for watching and if you ever have any questions or need help let me know!
@@aidanmulligan2231 I love this damn camera!! I'm not great with it yet, but the functions are robust and easy to learn. I've had it for a little over a week and I've already snapped over 1000 photos. I am anxious to get my hands on it everyday. do you have one as well?
Raphael Jenkins no not yet but I am trying to see which one to get out of the 60D, 700D and the Nikon d5300, I have to say that the Nikon is the best specs wise
AidanMulligan that makes sense! If I could’ve I would have gone with something with a bit more power behind the lens, but the budget allows what it allows. I’m already planning out the next body i want to purchase. But that’ll be some time off. I hope you’re happy with whatever you choose!
I own seven cameras - a Canon EOS 50D, 60D, and 80D, and then a Canon 5D Classic, 5D Mark II, 5D Mark III and an EOS R. Of the three APS-C cameras I have, the 60D is my favorite of the three. There's something charming about that camera. Of course, the 80D is a beast and the 50D is a classic relic from before the 60D/7D lineup split as well. :)
Jacob Bunn I’ve watched several of your videos regarding the 60D! One of them actually helped convince me to buy the one I have last June. Got it on eBay. Came with original box, 430EX II flash, and only had 2,500 shutter actuations.
Am getting both the 80d and 90d but the 60d is an awesome camera I've shoot lots of music videos and short films on it and they all look good because of skill that we learned over the years and understanding the camera to.

It's so nice that you still use the same Camera & also show everyone with a 60D how to get the best out of it in 2020, really really appreciate it! PS: Keep up the good work, hopefully you reach the 10K (or obviously more) Subscriber mark till end of the Year! Greetings from a Big Fan of yours from Switzerland!🇨🇭
Hey thanks for watching, I’m glad I can help out others still using the camera too! Plus it means a lot you saying that, I’ll definitely try to push myself to make a lot of content this year. Also that’s super cool you’re from Switzerland, I’ve always wanted to visit!
@@thejacobbunn yes please, would love to & i maybe could even show you some nice places as well as we could make few youtube videos together if you would be down for that?
The 60D is, at least for 'still' photographers, a very acceptable camera. I have owned two, sold one and recently purchased a second for $370(CAD). I also have the T6i and three Nikons including the D7200. The focusing mechanisms have been greatly 'improved' over the years. The T7i has no fewer than 45 cross-point. Now with my Nikon D5100(endowned with just one cross-point) and using 55-300mm nikon lens(not recommended for sport photography), I harvested many great soccer pics. So I wonder if the new 'improved' focus mechanisms really are necessary. One Cross-point DSLR vs a 45 Cross-point DSLR. Three cheers, though, for the 60D! BTW I took my first photos(with a film camera) in 1953. No auto-focus, manual focusing only, colour only available in the slide format. Now, after some 67 years, I still like the 60D!
Thanks for sharing Peter, that’s awesome you’ve been doing photography that long. I hope to do that same, also I really want to shoot film sometime. I appreciate you watching!
I love my 60D, however I recently upgraded to the 90D and it was well worth it. For a professional standpoint, get the better camera. More features and newer technology will stand the test of time better.
No doubt the 90D is pretty incredible. I personally suggest the 60d to everyone that’s looking for a budget camera or is just starting but I definitely see where for professional work it’s worth the investment. I myself plan on upgrading in a year or two to be set for the future of the market! What do you shoot personally with the 90D?
It's great to hear that there is still so much hype with the Canon 60D which I bought in 2015, a birthday gift to myself. Having a background in IT, I realize that over 90% of people have things (equipment, software, you-name-it) that they only effectively exploit less than 5% of its true capability. With my 60D, I am one of the 90%. However, even with this despicable ability with my 60D, I have outstanding memories of my daughter's graduation in the UK in 2012 and holidays with the family in Span, Australia, and at home (Malaysia) that truly make me believe, that I have yet to exploit the true potential of the camera. As Jacob Bunn recommends, it's not the camera that makes photography, it is we who limit the camera's potential. Cheers
Dude Ravi I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and share your experience with the camera, means a lot. I’m glad to hear you also love the camera!
Just here to say that I love how you take the time to respond to every comment! Great job! I often use a 60d and I thought it was weird that I preferred it to a 200d. 😊
I have a 50D I bought new way back in 2009 and for stills, it still good and very reliable. The 60D has more mega pixels and can do video, so it is even better. I got a 60D last year for my son whom I would like to encourage to learn photography. Tried it before giving it to him and did all the phases with it. My conclusion, all that you say in this video is accurate. It is still a very good camera even for 2020 standards. All you need to learn are the basics of photography, i.e., the relationship of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO with some compositional techniques and you can produce remarkable pictures at this day and age with your gear.
Thanks for sharing Rene, I’m glad to hear you feel the same! I hope your son enjoys it, seems like it could be a great thing to bond over. I appreciate you taking the time to watch
I've been using this camera for 10 years. I love this camera. Although I have more expensive cameras. But Canon 60D this camera is forever. They no longer make such cameras, and such quality. This magic camera, and I don't want to sell it, even if it's technically obsolete. Such a camera will no longer be. This camera is for real fans of photos and their work.
Great to see someone still going strong w/ a 60D amongst all the new, advanced, and better gear all around us today. Got my 60D in 2010 for $999 body only (after a $100 rebate) & had been my main camera until I got a used 5Dii & a used 80D last year. Loved that it had an articulating screen & could take video. Had a 2nd 60D body that I gave to my son upon acquiring the above. Used the 60D's in many paid gigs for both photo & video, usually w/ a Canon 24-105 f4.0 L and/or a Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 (first version) on them. Accdg to Magic Lantern in the trusty old original 60D I have left, I've logged 354,000 shutter counts (185,106 photos & 168,478 Live View actuations!!!) so it's been used and abused. But, hey, it's still running pretty good, except that the wheel on top near the shutter button sometimes doesn't engage properly when turning it. (In the first year I got it, I had to send it in to repair a faulty shutter, but after that I only had the problem w/ the wheel.) The only thing about the 60D for video work, besides the lack of continuous AF & 4K, is the lack of headphone jack. I once was covering an interview in the Phil. of a victim of Supertyphoon Haiyan (aka Yolanda) but there was a problem w/ the audio and didn't get to record her dramatic and very sad story in her own voice. :(
Really appreciate you sharing your experience with the 60d. I’ve done the same using it for photo and video jobs, it’s crazy how much you can do with the camera. I’ll have to look at those lenses for sure, I think personally I’m at the point where I need to start getting better lenses on the camera. That’s really rough about the lost audio, it sounded like an incredible moment to capture.
Thank you. After 5 year break Im about to get back in video production... wasn't sure if i dont need the upgrade, but thanks to your video I got a new inspiration and hope (excellent pick of the title of your video). Already got the upgrade-a slider so Im on the right track for now. :) Thank you.
That is so awesome to hear, seriously. I have loved the 60D even with some of its flaws. It has alone made my whole videography career. What type of videos do you make?
Got one....used.....love it....underated....the best starter cam....and want to buy the 70d...80d...and 90d.....the whole clan....and just for hell of it....good copies of the 50d etc....
I got one yesterday, used of course but almost brand new. I am very happy to find this video, makes me feel I did a right choice. For the moment I can´t get updated gear but I feel it is a big improvement from my old T3i.
I have had the EOS 60D for 3 years and am very satisfied. I am far from reaching the limits of the camera and this year I will get a monitor and a smallrig cage with follow focus for better handheld shots. Since I plan to produce professional videos for locals bands and other customers.
I'm still using my Canon 60D for video and I absolutely love this thing. I downloaded some picture profiles like VisionColor and it makes a huge difference for my promotional work and my TH-cam stuff. Love this video and glad to see someone else using it!
@AstroPT Very easily! I don't use auto focus unless absolutely necessary. I rely mostly on manual focus. Actually, most of my videos are now filmed with vintage lenses (I just love the look of vintage glass), so I don't have the option for auto focus. I've had so many issues using continuous auto focus on other cameras, I'm actually glad I don't have that option. I know with manual, it's set and it won't change mid shoot. Manual focus is the best.
Mateen said it great. Manual is the way to go. I know it’s not what you want to hear but once you get used to shooting manual it will become second nature and you’ll notice your videos will stand out from autofocus shooters!
@@thejacobbunn your videos are great jacob. i don' t know if you're doing more on the 60D but can you do a screenshot of the actual camera settings so I can steal your settings by reading them from the amber display ?
Thank you, means a lot! I don’t know if you’ve seen it but I have a video about my camera settings with the 60D if that helps! th-cam.com/video/7bbSM7YWhKY/w-d-xo.html
Someone just gave me a 60D today! I shoot TH-cam videos, so far all on my phone. I don’t know much about cameras but looking forward to learn. Thanks for the video. I’m going to check out your other vids on the 60D.
That’s awesome mike! I think it will really help improve the quality of your videos. Thanks for taking the time to watch and I hope my other 60d videos help you out some!
Yeah both are solid steps up especially if you’re looking for auto focus! I’ve thought about using the 80D but I currently use manual focus most of the time, it’s great though!
my camera lens broke on my canon powershot sx530 hs and the quote for a new lens was more expspensive for the camera itself. i’ve been searching for a new camera, preferably dslr and i think k you just sold me! thank you so much!!
Agree 100% I actually sold my 4K mirrorless camera for the 80D. I much prefer Canon the user interface beats Sony. I also work in post production and see first hand yes 4K is the standard in terms of work flow but let’s face it people watch videos on their phones... I wouldn’t worry about having a 4K only work flow in 2020 or even beyond that for the next few years. Focus on the skills and learn the camera !
Thanks for the input man that’s actually interesting to hear! I was considering giving the Sony A7iii a try but wasn’t sure about how I’d like to switch from canon. Yeah I’ve been surprised by how slowly 4K is being pushed out, so many movies and cameras have it but the industry as a whole doesn’t seem to want to jump over fully yet.
I was on a budget and I was really confused between the 60D and the 600D (Rebel T3i). I got the 600D finally. Though I love it, I think 60D would've been a better option. It seems more robust and professional looking.
Nice! Yeah I think the 600D is great too, I’d agree about the 60D being a bit more refined but I’m glad that’s been working out for you! Thanks for watching the video I appreciate it.
Hi, just to get an idea since I am so fresh to the field!! there is an offer for 60D with the kit for AUS $900. Kit includes 18-55 mm lens, 55-250mm lens, 50mm lens, 2x batteries, 1 remote, 1 wired remote, 1 cannon genuine wire grip, 1 external flash (YN560-III WIRELESS), 1 set of bokeh filters, 4x macro lenses, 1 UV filter, 1 Hoya polarized filter, 1variable Nd filter, 3x gradual colour filter (sunset, sky, landscape) , 1genuine data cable and 1 lowepro bag. Highly regarded your idea on the price whether worth or not..thanks
I was just starting using the cam this year! And your video is very informative. It might be outdated this year not sure but its a great way to start my photography. And i just subscribed to your channel! Good luck for for your upcoming vidoes.
I'm considering buying this camera. I was worried this camera wouldn't be up to date. Though, since it will be my first real camera, other than t6 one I played with in college. Your video totally changed my mind! I think this is a great starter camera!
Nice video bro, i also have 60d with tamron 17-50mm f2.8 and canon 50mm f1.8, already 6 years with me and still work until now, i use for my job in wedding photography. All of my photos taking with this camera :)
That’s awesome, It’s cool to hear you’ve been doing wedding photography with it. I’ve been using it for wedding films but haven’t ran into anyone in person using it for wedding photos yet!
Thanks 🙏 nice video bro 😊👍 i got a canon 200D :) in 2018 📷 its my first budget camera DSLR and i hope to learn and improve my photography and videography skills on it... But this video of Canon 60D is very inspirational.. 😊👍
well... Give your usage (mainly non action photos and 1080p 30fps vids) i would suggest anybody to get a T3i, which is a 60D but with slower burst, less buffer and slightly entry-level controls BUT same sensor, same image quality and it is the prime compatible-body to use with magic lantern, a firmware that will improve video experience a lot. T3i its from same year and a little cheaper On the other hand, T5i will be about the same as 60D (including comparable decent burst mode and buffer) but also with continuous AF for video mode, which allows for videoshoots on the move. T5i its 2 years newer and a more mature aproach on the 18mpx sensor, that's why despite not having pro controls it could be a better buy overall for about the same price. T6i / T7i (and 77D) are just another league, all 3 with video continuous AF, later 2 with dual pixel, 1080p 60fps and 24mpx CMOS sensor. they are plain better for both video and photo, but they come at a higher price of course. Not to mention 70D and 80D... these are just their successors and everything is better with no drawbacks except price. So i do not agree with you, for your usage (mix of pic and vid) Canon has better choices even in the 2nd hand market like T5i and T6i. The niche place in which 60D its still very good its in at budget "photo only" pro (or semi pro) scenario. 18mpx its ok (still suited for semi-pro usage while keeping files relatively low in size) and that camera has everything it needs: good image quality, good burst mode, "mediocre" but usable AF (9 cross points its sub-par at least in 2020) at a low cost and relatively small size. So you can do any (and i really mean ANY) type of photo whitout having to take care of the camera being the limiting factor if you know your job
Juan I honestly appreciate how much thought and information you put into this comment, you do bring up some valid points and very solid alternatives. I do think based on my experience with the 60D it is a good fit for my needs and is why I suggest it to people with similar needs, but with that said you're definitely right that beyond budget it's by far not the go to camera. Again though I appreciate you sharing with others and if I make a follow up I'll be sure to mention some alternatives
Got this camera in its launch week, been fantastic camera over the years (been 10years, damn). Even though I now use a 5D mk-iv the 60D still gets used quite a lot by my kids and they love it. I occasionally use it myself still when I don't want to swap lenses when at the beach with family, the 1.6 crop on my 500mm gets good surfing photos of the kids.
That's so awesome. I love it too, I'm going to give another camera a chance for a while but I'm never getting rid of my 60d its been too good. Thanks for taking the time to watch
@@thejacobbunn The SL3 build is cheap, cheap plastic, It feels in your hand like a toy, the 60D is more robust. And the 4K crop factor in the SL3 is very hard to swallow; You would need very expensive lenses to have a versatile range.
@@thejacobbunn please check my work www.flickr.com/photos/eltrueno/ The most amount of photos have been taken with canon60D, a few with Canon 6d Mark II and Canon T3i. Kind Regards, Seba.

Hi Jacob, it’s a lot of fun. Just find a dark sky, use a tripod and a wide angle lens. Wide open aperture go 15 to 20 seconds for the shutter speed and do 2 second delay so the camera will stop shaking, around 1600 to 3200 ISO and experiment and have fun. Check out the 500 rule to stop Star trailing.
Bill Vinson I appreciate it Bill, this summer I have a trip planned out of town and should have very little light pollution, I’ll definitely give it a shot
Just got one for $200. Body only. I got Pentax lenses I can use with a EF-K adapter, but I also noticed Canon lens are cheaper and tons more of them on the used market than for Pentax. I love the Pentax too and makes great photos, but battery life is less than half than the 60D and lens are 1.5x more expensive for Pentax, the same exact lens same specs. Literally, this Canon cost me $200 less, than the lens I was gonna buy for the Pentax.
Dude frank that’s awesome! I’m glad to hear you’re giving the 60D a go. I’ll have to look into Pentax lenses I haven’t ever used one before. What mm lens are you using?
love this video..i use 60d for 7 years.. 50mm f 1.4 is the best decision i ever made to complete the 60d. but it started to get heavy and the lack of connection to transfer pic to my phone kinda bother me. im planning to change to fuji. nice video though!!cheers!!
Thanks for sharing man, yeah it is getting a bit behind with the times but the quality is sure great! Fuji seems like a fun option, I hope you enjoy it
I have 600D and despite some more basic controls and a smaller buffer, it is pretty much the same camera. I do think 60D (and even 600D) are perfectly fine for photos but the lack of 1080p slow motion (60 or 120fps) and lack of futureproofing resolution with 4K vid makes a no sense to buy it in 2020 if video is in the user's needs (which might not be the case)
That’s a fair point, those are some tough drawbacks if someone is looking to use it for years to come. I think by 2022 it will be outdated but I’ve been surprised how slow the switch over to 4K has been, thanks for watching and sharing some input!
Hey thanks for watching and really appreciate you sharing the input. Those are really great suggestions too, I’ve thought about talking about both. I only give the edge to the 60D for price and how that gives people the ability to invest the extra money into other valuable gear like: lenses, filters, tripods, etc. Since people looking to buy usually want to spend their whole budget on the camera body alone I try to share this mindset, but if they have that gear or a higher budget I agree with you!
From a beginner pov, it's still a really good camera for basic photography. However if you want good quality low light and in general more options and tricks an upgrade is advised. It won't hold up for many more years
Hey thanks for watching. That is a valid point, I also think the camera only has a few more years of being a good enough quality. I think budget wise it is solid though especially with the right lenses for low light. What are you shooting on?
Glad to hear it Dario, I’m a big fan of it too. I’ve actually just gotten more into street photography, still have a ways to go but it’s a lot of fun. Thanks for watching!
@@silentthunder890 according to what i searched the camera is bad for videos because it doesnt have auto focus, i need to find a camera around the same price that i can buy
I bought Canon Eos 60d + 18-135mm lens in march this year. I am very excited of its quality. If not you I probably wouldnt buy it (only because of year of production)
Thanks for taking the time to watch! I get that want to upgrade but improving your own skills is always the best idea. I still need to keep improving before I switch cameras
I wish I didn't sell my 60d I bought the sl2 in favour for the auto focus but I really could've just kept the 60d!! I miss the battery life and everything!
I wish I hadn't sold mine a few years ago now that I'm getting back into shooting video and working on a TH-cam channel of my own. I'm probably going to buy one from MPB in a few weeks. Thanks for the updated review!
Hey dude, i don't know if you are knowing about this before, but,.. If you would take the risks, i would suggest you to use magic lantern, you could get even 2k RAW video footage. since you had high speed sd card. there are many tutorials in youtube, and also the website itself provides the guide in how to install clearly, i had been using 60d since 2014, and installed magic lantern back in 2017. i love your videos, just don't give up on 60d yet!
Great video and really impressive photos👍 Just bought a second-hand 60d last month and still figuring the functions. I am glad that I did not mislead by some promotional TH-cam videos and buy an expensive full-frame camera for the first camera. 60d is more than enough for me, especially with the 50mm f1.8 lens. With a basic tripod and software like lightroom and photoshop, I can't tell why do I need a Sony A7. A full-frame and mirrorless camera is good but more like a consumerism trap for most amateur photographers like me😂
Hey thanks Austin I really appreciate it man! Dude yeah people get way to caught up in the hype of newer or fancier cameras... trust me it’s tempting for me too but I’ve gotten so much value out of the 60d it’s crazy.
Subscribed! Man I just want to tell you It's very hard to make me subscribe in any channel, Idk how many years does my channel and I just have less than 10 subscription, keep it up!
Definitely, I’ve done it once or twice and it worked well, just note the autofocus isn’t the best so I usually set my focus to manual before filming myself!
I actually bought a 60D in second hand for 300€ with 2 lens (18-200 but it didn’t work completely) (70-300) And didn’t even know it was a 10 years old camera. Looking at it, would’ve thought it was 4-5 years old
Canon 60D vs Canon EOS M (18-55mm). What do you think? I could buy either. The 60D for €230 and the EOS M for €200. Purpose: Filming a video-podcast // Regular youtube videos such as yours! Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to watch Vincent! I think the 60D is worth the little bit more. I’ve used it for video podcasts and TH-cam vids it’s great. Plus I think the way the 60d’s lcd flips out helps a lot for youtube videos
@@thejacobbunn Hey Jacob!! You're one of an amazing friend & you helped me out a lot.. And so quick! :o Thank *you* for taking the time to reply so quickly. Hey, if you don't have anything against questions, I might come back to our conversation here and ask you for some advice, alright? Have a good one!
@@thejacobbunn I've started a warmup channel where i feature technical things (about an older soviet motorcycle i own and the occasional car repair i do on my own). My main focus will be another channel which will be dedicated to hiking and camping, but so far i am in the process of gathering up material for that.
Nordic Oppozit Nordic Oppozit that’s awesome. I think that’s a great idea too because you’ll really start to understand video editing better and become more comfortable in front of a camera. I definitely suggest you just put stuff out there regardless of how you think it turned out, because you’ll always be improving.
For sure! Glad to hear it, yeah as a filmmaker and photographer it’s a must for me but I definitely think they should be putting their focus on photography first! Thanks for watching
Hopefully I save enough to get a 60D with a 50mm. Used it from work it is as reliable as the 70D I also entrusted(work) also just resigned from that work. Thank you for the video, made me decide to get it.
The 60D is the only camera I have. My understanding is that, with the APS-C sensor of the Canon EOS 60 D, a 50mm lens will be sightly telephoto to approx 80 mm. If this is the case, is it worth it to buy a 50mm on a 60D? Or am I better off getting a new body to go with the 50mm?
Hey sorry I missed the comment, yeah it is still worth it. I use the 50mm on the 60D and even though it is closer to an 80mm it's still such an affordable lens and if you ever switch to a different camera it will be great!
FireChoy Rapsing FireChoy Rapsing that’s sweet, I really enjoy landscape photography and recently started to do more portraits. I’ve been using it primarily for videography, so wedding films, commercials for local businesses, and my TH-cam videos.
i disagree with video mechanics, cause 60d doesn't have IBS and auto focus video system ikr. this is the best cam for beginner photographer i must say. but remember this, at that price range i would definitely go for sony a6300 or higher.
I appreciate the input, I’ve heard the a6300 is pretty dang solid. I personally just suggest the 60D for the amount of money saved, and solid quality for photo and video, the lack of auto focus video can be a pain but I think in the long run pushes people to shoot manual and improve more in their mechanics so in the future with a higher end camera they will be incredible. Thanks for sharing though I always like to see other great budget cameras especially from Sony, I’m looking to try out one of there cameras soon.
don't mean to rain on in. but the 70d was the first video autofocus so for that i want to say 70d is the best but I own both cams and your hands down right and its 2020 proof if you have some coin the canon 90d is the first none crop autofocus with 4k video witch will future proof you but no need to up Upgrade I in less you need the 4k other 4k cams has a crop factor if not there's a crop factor when in autofocus
I Have a broadcasting background, but have been out of shooting/editing for a while now. I don't have any equipment of my own, and I'm wanting to start building my inventory to start wedding videography. It's a punch to the guy to see how much a investment the equipment is, even for budget equipment. I just found a used 60D with battery grip and 18-55mm lens for $250cnd ($180.00 USD), but it looks hella beat up from the picture. I can't tell if it's too good to be true, concerning the lens alone could sell for a bit less. The smart thing would be to test on site before purchasing, but I have zero experience with the 60D, so I don't even know what I would be looking for for red flags. Either way, I'm just trying to find good enough equipment so I can learn, provide free video for two-three friends weddings to put together a portfolio, and move forward from there.
Hey thanks for watching Brent, I think that’s a great idea and I’ve really enjoyed using the 60d for wedding videography. I mean that does sound really cheap for the 60d with that but if you test it out it would be worth it. Maybe check if it has a high shutter count

I'm looking to get it from my friend. Will you help me learn to shoot?
Hey I’d be happy to share any advice or answer questions! Shoot me a message on Instagram @thejacobbunn
@@thejacobbunn Thanks Man
so how good is that camera and when it came out
I brought Canon 60d on 2013 and still working GREAT..!
Glad to hear it! Camera always surprises me with what it can make, thanks for watching!
I'm using a 60D and it's fantastic. It's also forced me to really learn its limitations and becoming a better filmmaker by understanding the core aspects of filmmaking! Awesome video!!
Dude couldn’t ask for more! That’s what I’ve done with it as well and I think it’s pretty great to understand what it can’t do and how you can still make something amazing. I appreciate you watching
I agree I still shoot music videos and short films on it to this day I love the camera.
I agree I love this camera. The 60d is the best camera investment I've ever made. Great video and happy to see another great new video keep up the good work 👍
Same! Thanks I’m looking forward to creating a lot more videos this year on the channel
I still shoot with 60D
Mario Carabez Jr heck yeah, glad to hear it Mario.
@@alabanzasmariojr can I record pranks videos with it?
Yeah man I’m sure you could!
I purchased one of these yesterday along with some other equipment. This will be the first camera! I am excited but nervous to have invested so heavily in something I have minimal practical knowledge of. This video definitely eased some of my anxiety about my decision. I've wanted this since I was a kid, I'm ready to learn and grow. If you don't bet on yourself, no one else will.
That is great. I know it will be a bit hard at first but the more time you put in the easier it will be. I know first hand just starting out is scary but I’m sure once you get comfortable with the camera you’ll be so proud of the photos/videos you make. Thanks for watching and if you ever have any questions or need help let me know!
Raphael Jenkins how are you getting on?
@@aidanmulligan2231 I love this damn camera!!
I'm not great with it yet, but the functions are robust and easy to learn.
I've had it for a little over a week and I've already snapped over 1000 photos. I am anxious to get my hands on it everyday.
do you have one as well?
Raphael Jenkins no not yet but I am trying to see which one to get out of the 60D, 700D and the Nikon d5300, I have to say that the Nikon is the best specs wise
AidanMulligan that makes sense! If I could’ve I would have gone with something with a bit more power behind the lens, but the budget allows what it allows.
I’m already planning out the next body i want to purchase. But that’ll be some time off.
I hope you’re happy with whatever you choose!
I own seven cameras - a Canon EOS 50D, 60D, and 80D, and then a Canon 5D Classic, 5D Mark II, 5D Mark III and an EOS R. Of the three APS-C cameras I have, the 60D is my favorite of the three. There's something charming about that camera. Of course, the 80D is a beast and the 50D is a classic relic from before the 60D/7D lineup split as well. :)
Hey thanks for watching Dylan! I’m glad to hear it coming from someone owning a wide variety of cameras, I think it shows others just how great it is.
Jacob Bunn I’ve watched several of your videos regarding the 60D! One of them actually helped convince me to buy the one I have last June. Got it on eBay. Came with original box, 430EX II flash, and only had 2,500 shutter actuations.
Am getting both the 80d and 90d but the 60d is an awesome camera I've shoot lots of music videos and short films on it and they all look good because of skill that we learned over the years and understanding the camera to.

i have 60d a year i am so happy with her she is an excellent camera, i am a wedding photographer she is perfect in all aspects
Heck yeah, glad to hear it! I do a lot of wedding videography with it and enjoy it too, thanks for watching
It's so nice that you still use the same Camera & also show everyone with a 60D how to get the best out of it in 2020, really really appreciate it!
PS: Keep up the good work, hopefully you reach the 10K (or obviously more) Subscriber mark till end of the Year!
Greetings from a Big Fan of yours from Switzerland!🇨🇭
Hey thanks for watching, I’m glad I can help out others still using the camera too! Plus it means a lot you saying that, I’ll definitely try to push myself to make a lot of content this year. Also that’s super cool you’re from Switzerland, I’ve always wanted to visit!
@@thejacobbunn It would be so great if you would come one day to switzerland also because then i could learn even more things from you, so please come
Vibishan Thevendran That would be super fun, if I ever end up planning a trip I’ll let you know when I’m in the area!
@@thejacobbunn yes please, would love to & i maybe could even show you some nice places as well as we could make few youtube videos together if you would be down for that?
That would be great man I appreciate the offer! I’d definitely be down and it sounds like a fun time, I’ll let you know if I’m ever in the area
Wohoooo cheers it's been 10 years science i am using my 60D 😍❤️
Still remember that when i received my parcel 😍😍
Heck yeah that’s sweet, I’m glad you’ve stuck with it, it’s great!
Can I use it for pranks videos?
The 60D is, at least for 'still' photographers, a very acceptable camera. I have owned two, sold one and recently purchased a second for $370(CAD). I also have the T6i and three Nikons including the D7200. The focusing mechanisms have been greatly 'improved' over the years. The T7i has no fewer than 45 cross-point. Now with my Nikon D5100(endowned with just one cross-point) and using 55-300mm nikon lens(not recommended for sport photography), I harvested many great soccer pics.
So I wonder if the new 'improved' focus mechanisms really are necessary. One Cross-point DSLR vs a 45 Cross-point DSLR.
Three cheers, though, for the 60D! BTW I took my first photos(with a film camera) in 1953. No auto-focus, manual focusing only, colour only available in the slide format. Now, after some 67 years, I still like the 60D!
Thanks for sharing Peter, that’s awesome you’ve been doing photography that long. I hope to do that same, also I really want to shoot film sometime. I appreciate you watching!
My grandad is getting me a 60D, so happy I watched this video 😁
Dude sweet, that's really nice of him! I think you'll love the camera, if you have any questions once you get the camera let me know :)
I got my camera 1 month ago. I now just really started getting in photography. Your vids about the canon 60D is very great
Man thank you so much I really appreciate it. I’m glad I’ve been able to help and if you have any questions about the camera let me know!
Is there a way to remove the shutter sound, because I know some cameras can do that. Wondering if you can on the 60D?
Not that I know of!
Just got mine today off of a photographer friend who upgraded. Starting TH-cam and my first camera. Looooots of learning to do. LETS GO!
That’s sweet! I think you’ll really enjoy the camera, I have more tutorials for the 60d on the channel if you’re looking for some!
@@thejacobbunn will do! Thanks!
I love my 60D, however I recently upgraded to the 90D and it was well worth it.
For a professional standpoint, get the better camera. More features and newer technology will stand the test of time better.
No doubt the 90D is pretty incredible. I personally suggest the 60d to everyone that’s looking for a budget camera or is just starting but I definitely see where for professional work it’s worth the investment. I myself plan on upgrading in a year or two to be set for the future of the market!
What do you shoot personally with the 90D?
It's great to hear that there is still so much hype with the Canon 60D which I bought in 2015, a birthday gift to myself. Having a background in IT, I realize that over 90% of people have things (equipment, software, you-name-it) that they only effectively exploit less than 5% of its true capability. With my 60D, I am one of the 90%. However, even with this despicable ability with my 60D, I have outstanding memories of my daughter's graduation in the UK in 2012 and holidays with the family in Span, Australia, and at home (Malaysia) that truly make me believe, that I have yet to exploit the true potential of the camera. As Jacob Bunn recommends, it's not the camera that makes photography, it is we who limit the camera's potential. Cheers
Dude Ravi I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and share your experience with the camera, means a lot. I’m glad to hear you also love the camera!
Just here to say that I love how you take the time to respond to every comment! Great job!
I often use a 60d and I thought it was weird that I preferred it to a 200d. 😊
I appreciate you taking the time to let me know haha! It means a lot that you’re watching. The 60d honestly is overlooked by many, still great!
love this old DSLRs...in the right light..they are always money
Facts. Appreciate you taking the time to watch one of my vids Brett!
I have a 50D I bought new way back in 2009 and for stills, it still good and very reliable. The 60D has more mega pixels and can do video, so it is even better. I got a 60D last year for my son whom I would like to encourage to learn photography. Tried it before giving it to him and did all the phases with it. My conclusion, all that you say in this video is accurate. It is still a very good camera even for 2020 standards. All you need to learn are the basics of photography, i.e., the relationship of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO with some compositional techniques and you can produce remarkable pictures at this day and age with your gear.
Thanks for sharing Rene, I’m glad to hear you feel the same! I hope your son enjoys it, seems like it could be a great thing to bond over. I appreciate you taking the time to watch
I've been using this camera for 10 years. I love this camera.
Although I have more expensive cameras. But Canon 60D this camera is forever.
They no longer make such cameras, and such quality.
This magic camera, and I don't want to sell it, even if it's technically obsolete.
Such a camera will no longer be. This camera is for real fans of photos and their work.
I’m super glad to hear it! It is really an incredible camera and I’m glad I’ve gotten to use it. Thanks for taking the time to watch
Great to see someone still going strong w/ a 60D amongst all the new, advanced, and better gear all around us today. Got my 60D in 2010 for $999 body only (after a $100 rebate) & had been my main camera until I got a used 5Dii & a used 80D last year. Loved that it had an articulating screen & could take video. Had a 2nd 60D body that I gave to my son upon acquiring the above. Used the 60D's in many paid gigs for both photo & video, usually w/ a Canon 24-105 f4.0 L and/or a Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 (first version) on them. Accdg to Magic Lantern in the trusty old original 60D I have left, I've logged 354,000 shutter counts (185,106 photos & 168,478 Live View actuations!!!) so it's been used and abused. But, hey, it's still running pretty good, except that the wheel on top near the shutter button sometimes doesn't engage properly when turning it. (In the first year I got it, I had to send it in to repair a faulty shutter, but after that I only had the problem w/ the wheel.) The only thing about the 60D for video work, besides the lack of continuous AF & 4K, is the lack of headphone jack. I once was covering an interview in the Phil. of a victim of Supertyphoon Haiyan (aka Yolanda) but there was a problem w/ the audio and didn't get to record her dramatic and very sad story in her own voice. :(
Really appreciate you sharing your experience with the 60d. I’ve done the same using it for photo and video jobs, it’s crazy how much you can do with the camera. I’ll have to look at those lenses for sure, I think personally I’m at the point where I need to start getting better lenses on the camera. That’s really rough about the lost audio, it sounded like an incredible moment to capture.
This is my first camera and still loves it
I love it too! Thanks for watching
FW STUDIO same here lol
Thank you. After 5 year break Im about to get back in video production... wasn't sure if i dont need the upgrade, but thanks to your video I got a new inspiration and hope (excellent pick of the title of your video). Already got the upgrade-a slider so Im on the right track for now. :) Thank you.
That is so awesome to hear, seriously. I have loved the 60D even with some of its flaws. It has alone made my whole videography career. What type of videos do you make?
Got one....used.....love it....underated....the best starter cam....and want to buy the 70d...80d...and 90d.....the whole clan....and just for hell of it....good copies of the 50d etc....
Heck yeah man, I’m glad you felt the same way! I’m interested in picking up an 80D for myself too, thanks for watching!
I have a t6. If you can take a good shot then you can take a good shot PERIODT. That’s one thing I’m learning.
For sure, it’s much more important to learn: composition, lighting, etc... rather than just having a fancy camera. Thanks for watching.
I got one yesterday, used of course but almost brand new. I am very happy to find this video, makes me feel I did a right choice. For the moment I can´t get updated gear but I feel it is a big improvement from my old T3i.
That’s awesome Carlos I’m glad to hear it. I definitely like sharing what I’ve learned with it, it’s a great camera for sure! Thanks for watching man
I have had the EOS 60D for 3 years and am very satisfied. I am far from reaching the limits of the camera and this year I will get a monitor and a smallrig cage with follow focus for better handheld shots. Since I plan to produce professional videos for locals bands and other customers.
That’s sweet I’m glad to hear it’s going well and you’re improving your production! Thanks for taking the time to watch my video
I'm still using my Canon 60D for video and I absolutely love this thing. I downloaded some picture profiles like VisionColor and it makes a huge difference for my promotional work and my TH-cam stuff.
Love this video and glad to see someone else using it!
Glad to hear it too! Huh I’ll have to look into it, that sounds interesting, thanks for watching
@AstroPT Very easily!
I don't use auto focus unless absolutely necessary. I rely mostly on manual focus. Actually, most of my videos are now filmed with vintage lenses (I just love the look of vintage glass), so I don't have the option for auto focus.
I've had so many issues using continuous auto focus on other cameras, I'm actually glad I don't have that option. I know with manual, it's set and it won't change mid shoot.
Manual focus is the best.
Mateen said it great. Manual is the way to go. I know it’s not what you want to hear but once you get used to shooting manual it will become second nature and you’ll notice your videos will stand out from autofocus shooters!
i've been using a 60D since 2013 and I love love love love my baby
That’s awesome! I love it too, I want to take a lot more photos this summer
@@thejacobbunn your videos are great jacob. i don' t know if you're doing more on the 60D but can you do a screenshot of the actual camera settings so I can steal your settings by reading them from the amber display ?
Thank you, means a lot! I don’t know if you’ve seen it but I have a video about my camera settings with the 60D if that helps! th-cam.com/video/7bbSM7YWhKY/w-d-xo.html
@@thejacobbunn i will go watch it right now. thank you again.
@ Content Angel how much shutter count?
Could not agree more! I shoot most of my videos with the 60d and still happy with the results.
Glad to hear it, it’s great! Thanks for watching
I’ve used the 60D since it first came out and love it for close up photography.
Dude Ryan love to hear it man, I was late to the 60D game but I’ve loved it. Thanks for taking the time to watch one of my videos
i bought it a couple hours ago and i already absolutely love it
So glad to hear it, I still LOVE my 60D. Thanks for watching!
Someone just gave me a 60D today! I shoot TH-cam videos, so far all on my phone. I don’t know much about cameras but looking forward to learn. Thanks for the video. I’m going to check out your other vids on the 60D.
That’s awesome mike! I think it will really help improve the quality of your videos. Thanks for taking the time to watch and I hope my other 60d videos help you out some!
I'm using 60d right now, been using it for 8yrs+ already, it's great but I need auto focus for the video.I'm considering to upgrade to 80d or 90d
Yeah both are solid steps up especially if you’re looking for auto focus! I’ve thought about using the 80D but I currently use manual focus most of the time, it’s great though!
I would recommend Canon C70 as new tech is coming xo fast.
@@thejacobbunn yeah when it comes video shooting manual focus
Learn how to proper manual focus🤷
@@ozairakhtarcom which has nothing to do with the photographers capabilities
my camera lens broke on my canon powershot sx530 hs and the quote for a new lens was more expspensive for the camera itself. i’ve been searching for a new camera, preferably dslr and i think k you just sold me! thank you so much!!
Dang that’s rough! Well I’m glad, I think you’ll really like the 60D. I’d love to see some of your photos
Agree 100% I actually sold my 4K mirrorless camera for the 80D. I much prefer Canon the user interface beats Sony. I also work in post production and see first hand yes 4K is the standard in terms of work flow but let’s face it people watch videos on their phones... I wouldn’t worry about having a 4K only work flow in 2020 or even beyond that for the next few years. Focus on the skills and learn the camera !
Thanks for the input man that’s actually interesting to hear! I was considering giving the Sony A7iii a try but wasn’t sure about how I’d like to switch from canon. Yeah I’ve been surprised by how slowly 4K is being pushed out, so many movies and cameras have it but the industry as a whole doesn’t seem to want to jump over fully yet.
i really like my 60d, but upgraded to 90d now and im happy like a child :) can't wait to hold it in my hands!
That’s awesome! I’ve looked into the 90D it’s a pretty great camera, I’m excited for you haha
You’ll have to let me know how you like it
LOVE THIS! So helpful and up to date. Thank you!!
Hey thanks for taking the time to watch it! I’m glad I could help 😁
I urge people to purchase one up, purchase the 70d, the dpaf is incredible and the camera is very affordable now.
Appreciate the suggestion! Thanks for watching
Great vid man! I'm still rocking the 60D for photos and videos too!
Thanks I appreciate it! I noticed you’ve been shooting with it, that’s awesome man. I’m glad more and more people have seen it’s a great option
I was on a budget and I was really confused between the 60D and the 600D (Rebel T3i). I got the 600D finally. Though I love it, I think 60D would've been a better option. It seems more robust and professional looking.
Nice! Yeah I think the 600D is great too, I’d agree about the 60D being a bit more refined but I’m glad that’s been working out for you! Thanks for watching the video I appreciate it.
I just bought a Canon 60d yesterday. I love it already.
Still 60D user please keep it up posting about 60D
I use the 60d but noise irritates me especially when am shooting in low light.
Yeah I had that issue for quite a while until I got the 50mm 1.8. Saved so many shots for me
The Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 is very helpful.
I’ll have to check out the lens, the range sounds nice with the f/1.8
Yay I just bought one today. So excited to use it!
That’s awesome I know you’re gonna love it! Thanks for watching

For all that’s included I think that’s a fair price! It sounds like a lot of good equipment is included, I’d go for it!
I was just starting using the cam this year! And your video is very informative. It might be outdated this year not sure but its a great way to start my photography. And i just subscribed to your channel! Good luck for for your upcoming vidoes.
I'm considering buying this camera. I was worried this camera wouldn't be up to date. Though, since it will be my first real camera, other than t6 one I played with in college. Your video totally changed my mind! I think this is a great starter camera!
I’m glad to hear it! It’s definitely been great for me personally and I hope you really like it. Thanks for watching
i have this camera 9 years from now. i love this camera works great until now
Dude that’s sweet! Thanks for taking the time to watch
Nice video bro, i also have 60d with tamron 17-50mm f2.8 and canon 50mm f1.8, already 6 years with me and still work until now, i use for my job in wedding photography. All of my photos taking with this camera :)
That’s awesome, It’s cool to hear you’ve been doing wedding photography with it. I’ve been using it for wedding films but haven’t ran into anyone in person using it for wedding photos yet!
Thanks 🙏 nice video bro 😊👍 i got a canon 200D :) in 2018 📷 its my first budget camera DSLR and i hope to learn and improve my photography and videography skills on it... But this video of Canon 60D is very inspirational.. 😊👍
Thanks for watching I appreciate it! That’s definitely a solid option and I hope it’s going well.
@@thejacobbunn ur most welcome 😊👍 and Thank you too bro 😊
well...
Give your usage (mainly non action photos and 1080p 30fps vids) i would suggest anybody to get a T3i, which is a 60D but with slower burst, less buffer and slightly entry-level controls BUT same sensor, same image quality and it is the prime compatible-body to use with magic lantern, a firmware that will improve video experience a lot. T3i its from same year and a little cheaper
On the other hand, T5i will be about the same as 60D (including comparable decent burst mode and buffer) but also with continuous AF for video mode, which allows for videoshoots on the move. T5i its 2 years newer and a more mature aproach on the 18mpx sensor, that's why despite not having pro controls it could be a better buy overall for about the same price.
T6i / T7i (and 77D) are just another league, all 3 with video continuous AF, later 2 with dual pixel, 1080p 60fps and 24mpx CMOS sensor. they are plain better for both video and photo, but they come at a higher price of course.
Not to mention 70D and 80D... these are just their successors and everything is better with no drawbacks except price.
So i do not agree with you, for your usage (mix of pic and vid) Canon has better choices even in the 2nd hand market like T5i and T6i.
The niche place in which 60D its still very good its in at budget "photo only" pro (or semi pro) scenario. 18mpx its ok (still suited for semi-pro usage while keeping files relatively low in size) and that camera has everything it needs: good image quality, good burst mode, "mediocre" but usable AF (9 cross points its sub-par at least in 2020) at a low cost and relatively small size. So you can do any (and i really mean ANY) type of photo whitout having to take care of the camera being the limiting factor if you know your job
Juan I honestly appreciate how much thought and information you put into this comment, you do bring up some valid points and very solid alternatives. I do think based on my experience with the 60D it is a good fit for my needs and is why I suggest it to people with similar needs, but with that said you're definitely right that beyond budget it's by far not the go to camera. Again though I appreciate you sharing with others and if I make a follow up I'll be sure to mention some alternatives
Great video im going to buy this camera soon
I appreciate it Austen thanks for taking the time to watch man! I think you’ll really enjoy it
Jacob Bunn your welcome jacob, but i want to ask you, does the lens has noise sound while autofocus during recording video ?
I mean they do but I don’t use autofocus most of the time, plus depending on the lens it’s not too bad
Jacob Bunn does it good to record video that has moving object, i will use it to review a toy, like mostly video on my channel
Yeah I think it would be more than good for recording moving objects/ toys. If you struggle to get objects in focus try a higher aperture
Bought mine used, put around 200,000 shots and still going strong
Dang that’s wild man, keep it going haha! Thanks for watching
thank you for taking the time to create and post this video keep up the good work
Hey honestly means a lot, I appreciate you even taking the time to watch one of my videos
Got this camera in its launch week, been fantastic camera over the years (been 10years, damn). Even though I now use a 5D mk-iv the 60D still gets used quite a lot by my kids and they love it. I occasionally use it myself still when I don't want to swap lenses when at the beach with family, the 1.6 crop on my 500mm gets good surfing photos of the kids.
That's so awesome. I love it too, I'm going to give another camera a chance for a while but I'm never getting rid of my 60d its been too good. Thanks for taking the time to watch
I love my Cannon 60 d.Thanks for this lovely video.
No problem, thanks for taking the time to watch it!
I bought a canon SL3 (250D) in order to replace my 60D... now I’m selling the SL3 and want to keep my 60D. 🤓
Haha, I’m glad you came back to the 60d! What made you want to switch back?
@@thejacobbunn The SL3 build is cheap, cheap plastic, It feels in your hand like a toy, the 60D is more robust. And the 4K crop factor in the SL3 is very hard to swallow; You would need very expensive lenses to have a versatile range.
I sold my 60d for the SL2 because auto focus! but I sold the SL2 and I wish I could buy another 60d I might get a 70d for auto focus
LEPIXMA PICTURES dang that is rough.

I have the Canon 60Da for Astrophotography. It still works great and I can also use it for every day photos.
Glad it’s been working for you too! I really would love to get into astrophotography
Hi Jacob, it’s a lot of fun. Just find a dark sky, use a tripod and a wide angle lens. Wide open aperture go 15 to 20 seconds for the shutter speed and do 2 second delay so the camera will stop shaking, around 1600 to 3200 ISO and experiment and have fun. Check out the 500 rule to stop Star trailing.
Bill Vinson I appreciate it Bill, this summer I have a trip planned out of town and should have very little light pollution, I’ll definitely give it a shot
Jacob Bunn great. Try to get a good view of the south to get Milky Way shots.
Just got one for $200. Body only. I got Pentax lenses I can use with a EF-K adapter, but I also noticed Canon lens are cheaper and tons more of them on the used market than for Pentax. I love the Pentax too and makes great photos, but battery life is less than half than the 60D and lens are 1.5x more expensive for Pentax, the same exact lens same specs. Literally, this Canon cost me $200 less, than the lens I was gonna buy for the Pentax.
Dude frank that’s awesome! I’m glad to hear you’re giving the 60D a go. I’ll have to look into Pentax lenses I haven’t ever used one before. What mm lens are you using?
love this video..i use 60d for 7 years.. 50mm f 1.4 is the best decision i ever made to complete the 60d. but it started to get heavy and the lack of connection to transfer pic to my phone kinda bother me. im planning to change to fuji. nice video though!!cheers!!
Thanks for sharing man, yeah it is getting a bit behind with the times but the quality is sure great! Fuji seems like a fun option, I hope you enjoy it
I have 600D and despite some more basic controls and a smaller buffer, it is pretty much the same camera. I do think 60D (and even 600D) are perfectly fine for photos but the lack of 1080p slow motion (60 or 120fps) and lack of futureproofing resolution with 4K vid makes a no sense to buy it in 2020 if video is in the user's needs (which might not be the case)
That’s a fair point, those are some tough drawbacks if someone is looking to use it for years to come. I think by 2022 it will be outdated but I’ve been surprised how slow the switch over to 4K has been, thanks for watching and sharing some input!
I think lower that 24mpx is not that great, you can buy a sl2 and its way better, and if you need videos buy the sl3 and i just love it.
Hey thanks for watching and really appreciate you sharing the input. Those are really great suggestions too, I’ve thought about talking about both. I only give the edge to the 60D for price and how that gives people the ability to invest the extra money into other valuable gear like: lenses, filters, tripods, etc. Since people looking to buy usually want to spend their whole budget on the camera body alone I try to share this mindset, but if they have that gear or a higher budget I agree with you!
From a beginner pov, it's still a really good camera for basic photography. However if you want good quality low light and in general more options and tricks an upgrade is advised. It won't hold up for many more years
Hey thanks for watching. That is a valid point, I also think the camera only has a few more years of being a good enough quality. I think budget wise it is solid though especially with the right lenses for low light. What are you shooting on?
THIS SO AWSOME NICE RECOMMENDATION BRO...
No problem, thanks for watching!
Still got my 60D use it for street photography all day.
Glad to hear it Dario, I’m a big fan of it too. I’ve actually just gotten more into street photography, still have a ways to go but it’s a lot of fun. Thanks for watching!
I picked up my 60D last week for just £80. Already got a 50mm f1.8 lens and a tripod... May the practice commence!
Dang that’s wild! Great deal, I hope you enjoy it, thanks for watching
@@thejacobbunn thanks man, and great vids!
how'd you get it so cheap
@@ATXpert just a lucky find on gumtree
@@silentthunder890 according to what i searched the camera is bad for videos because it doesnt have auto focus, i need to find a camera around the same price that i can buy
Deeply appreciate the transparency. I'm using my iPhone 8 Plus camera rn. I'd keep using it if I could connect it to my yeti mic...
Hey thanks Shawn I appreciate you watching man, yeah that is tough!
I bought Canon Eos 60d + 18-135mm lens in march this year. I am very excited of its quality. If not you I probably wouldnt buy it (only because of year of production)
Super awesome to hear it! It’s a great camera and I’m sure you’ll make some great stuff with it
I have 60d and a 5d markiii but I love 60d for its tilting screen for video
Dude I know! It’s crazy how nice such a simple feature is haha, if it didn’t have the tilting screen it would be a struggle
60D is my first camera!
That’s dope, best place to start! Thanks for watching
I was thinking about buying 4k camera but After listening you I think I need to improve on my skills first... thx
Thanks for taking the time to watch! I get that want to upgrade but improving your own skills is always the best idea. I still need to keep improving before I switch cameras
I wish I didn't sell my 60d I bought the sl2 in favour for the auto focus but I really could've just kept the 60d!! I miss the battery life and everything!
Super interesting I've actually looked into the SL2 a lot but yeah thats the one thing holding me back
I bought one today can't wait to see how it goes!
Definitely let me know what you think of it! I’ve loved my 60D
Just bought the 60d!! Not because this video. But the affordability. An I just need it for landscape an some portrait.
That’s awesome I’m glad you made the decision to use it. I love the camera! Thanks for watching my video anyway
@@thejacobbunn Thank You. An you’re welcome. I loved the video.
Means a lot! If you ever have any questions when using the camera feel free to ask
@@thejacobbunn Thank you. I will.
I wish I hadn't sold mine a few years ago now that I'm getting back into shooting video and working on a TH-cam channel of my own. I'm probably going to buy one from MPB in a few weeks. Thanks for the updated review!
Yo no worries at all I hope you've been enjoying the camera again!
hi hope you are good pls if you want to sell your canon 60D camera I'm interested pls abbeyafolayan1@yahoo.co.uk
Hey dude, i don't know if you are knowing about this before, but,.. If you would take the risks, i would suggest you to use magic lantern, you could get even 2k RAW video footage. since you had high speed sd card. there are many tutorials in youtube, and also the website itself provides the guide in how to install clearly, i had been using 60d since 2014, and installed magic lantern back in 2017. i love your videos, just don't give up on 60d yet!
Awesome to hear, I appreciate it! I have heard about Magic Lantern but I haven’t used it I’ll have to give it a shot
The link in description brought me to canon eos rebel t6..
Hey thanks for letting me know, they changed the listing on amazon, here is the link to the 60d: amzn.to/3d64UpC
Great video and really impressive photos👍 Just bought a second-hand 60d last month and still figuring the functions. I am glad that I did not mislead by some promotional TH-cam videos and buy an expensive full-frame camera for the first camera. 60d is more than enough for me, especially with the 50mm f1.8 lens. With a basic tripod and software like lightroom and photoshop, I can't tell why do I need a Sony A7. A full-frame and mirrorless camera is good but more like a consumerism trap for most amateur photographers like me😂
Hey thanks Austin I really appreciate it man! Dude yeah people get way to caught up in the hype of newer or fancier cameras... trust me it’s tempting for me too but I’ve gotten so much value out of the 60d it’s crazy.
Austin pls where do you bought your 60D second hand i too is interested in buy canon 60D second hand thanks my email abbeyafolayan1@yahoo.co.uk
@@abbeyafolayan7551 On gumtree, I paid $450 AUD for 60d with a sigma 18-200mm lens. The price depends on shutter counts(mine is 8k).
@@austinmao6645 thanks
my fav Camera i still have it
Glad to hear it man! We have the same favorite haha. Thanks for watching
Subscribed! Man I just want to tell you It's very hard to make me subscribe in any channel, Idk how many years does my channel and I just have less than 10 subscription, keep it up!
Dude. I really appreciate that. I’m glad to be one of the few you’ve subbed too, I’ll try to keep putting out stuff you enjoy!
@jacob bunn do you think you could vlog with this camera?
Definitely, I’ve done it once or twice and it worked well, just note the autofocus isn’t the best so I usually set my focus to manual before filming myself!
I actually bought a 60D in second hand for 300€ with 2 lens (18-200 but it didn’t work completely) (70-300)
And didn’t even know it was a 10 years old camera. Looking at it, would’ve thought it was 4-5 years old
Yeah it’s a surprisingly good camera for it’s age. I think a lot of people misjudge it! Thanks for watching!
I just got one for $200, and I'm gonna modify to full spectrum for astrophotography !
Dude!! That’s so cool, I always wanted to get into astrophotography. I have to give it a shot this summer!
Thanks for taking the time to watch
Guy's, I've got a like new 60d, 50mm 1.4, 24-70mm 2.8 L, that i will be selling Shortly. As soon as I get a chance to list it for sale.
interested in buy it if its canon 60D camera thank my email abbeyafolayan1@yahoo.co.uk
Canon 60D vs Canon EOS M (18-55mm). What do you think?
I could buy either. The 60D for €230 and the EOS M for €200.
Purpose: Filming a video-podcast // Regular youtube videos such as yours!
Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to watch Vincent! I think the 60D is worth the little bit more. I’ve used it for video podcasts and TH-cam vids it’s great. Plus I think the way the 60d’s lcd flips out helps a lot for youtube videos
@@thejacobbunn Hey Jacob!! You're one of an amazing friend & you helped me out a lot.. And so quick! :o
Thank *you* for taking the time to reply so quickly. Hey, if you don't have anything against questions, I might come back to our conversation here and ask you for some advice, alright? Have a good one!
Dude I really appreciate the kind words! Feel free to ask me a question any time man!
Great info thank you. Just started shooting my videos with this camera and a 17-55mm lens and a Rode VideoMicro mic.
No problem thanks for watching! That’s sweet I hope it goes great for you. What type of videos are you making?
@@thejacobbunn I've started a warmup channel where i feature technical things (about an older soviet motorcycle i own and the occasional car repair i do on my own). My main focus will be another channel which will be dedicated to hiking and camping, but so far i am in the process of gathering up material for that.
Nordic Oppozit Nordic Oppozit that’s awesome. I think that’s a great idea too because you’ll really start to understand video editing better and become more comfortable in front of a camera. I definitely suggest you just put stuff out there regardless of how you think it turned out, because you’ll always be improving.
60D user since 2014, mostly for taking photos. Cameras these days are all about the video recording features. Let's keep shooting!
For sure! Glad to hear it, yeah as a filmmaker and photographer it’s a must for me but I definitely think they should be putting their focus on photography first! Thanks for watching
I love my Cannon 60D
Same! Thanks for taking the time to watch, what do you like to shoot best with the 60D?
I usually do photography and making videos for my TH-cam channel.
Haha we are in the same boat then!
Hopefully I save enough to get a 60D with a 50mm. Used it from work it is as reliable as the 70D I also entrusted(work) also just resigned from that work. Thank you for the video, made me decide to get it.
Glad to hear it, I think you’ll be really happy once you get it and get some more experience with it. Thanks for watching John!
thank you for your suggestion you are amazing🔥🔥👍🏻
Hey I’m glad I could help! Thanks for taking the time to watch
the magic lantern nightly build on their website is very stable on it!
The 60D is the only camera I have. My understanding is that, with the APS-C sensor of the Canon EOS 60 D, a 50mm lens will be sightly telephoto to approx 80 mm. If this is the case, is it worth it to buy a 50mm on a 60D? Or am I better off getting a new body to go with the 50mm?
Hey sorry I missed the comment, yeah it is still worth it. I use the 50mm on the 60D and even though it is closer to an 80mm it's still such an affordable lens and if you ever switch to a different camera it will be great!
Canon 60 is deh best..
Heck yeah 🤘
Yes 60D user here since 2013..
Dang that’s sweet, what do you shoot primarily?
@@thejacobbunn before i shoot for portrait and landscape photos only now i switch to videography for youtube.. how about you?
FireChoy Rapsing FireChoy Rapsing that’s sweet, I really enjoy landscape photography and recently started to do more portraits. I’ve been using it primarily for videography, so wedding films, commercials for local businesses, and my TH-cam videos.
i disagree with video mechanics, cause 60d doesn't have IBS and auto focus video system ikr. this is the best cam for beginner photographer i must say. but remember this, at that price range i would definitely go for sony a6300 or higher.
I appreciate the input, I’ve heard the a6300 is pretty dang solid. I personally just suggest the 60D for the amount of money saved, and solid quality for photo and video, the lack of auto focus video can be a pain but I think in the long run pushes people to shoot manual and improve more in their mechanics so in the future with a higher end camera they will be incredible.
Thanks for sharing though I always like to see other great budget cameras especially from Sony, I’m looking to try out one of there cameras soon.
I'm about to buy it today for my elder brother.. thanks for the video though ❤🍻👌👌
That's awesome I hope he loves it!
I love ur video so much dude
Thanks a lot, I really do appreciate that. I’m glad I’ve made some stuff you like, and I hope the stuff I put out in the future you enjoy too!
don't mean to rain on in. but the 70d was the first video autofocus so for that i want to say 70d is the best but I own both cams and your hands down right and its 2020 proof
if you have some coin the canon 90d is the first none crop autofocus with 4k video witch will future proof you but no need to up Upgrade I in less you need the 4k
other 4k cams has a crop factor if not there's a crop factor when in autofocus
I appreciate the suggestion and comparison, thanks for watching!
got to ask you have you played with magic lantern =P ( firmware for canon
I Have a broadcasting background, but have been out of shooting/editing for a while now.
I don't have any equipment of my own, and I'm wanting to start building my inventory to start wedding videography. It's a punch to the guy to see how much a investment the equipment is, even for budget equipment.
I just found a used 60D with battery grip and 18-55mm lens for $250cnd ($180.00 USD), but it looks hella beat up from the picture. I can't tell if it's too good to be true, concerning the lens alone could sell for a bit less.
The smart thing would be to test on site before purchasing, but I have zero experience with the 60D, so I don't even know what I would be looking for for red flags.
Either way, I'm just trying to find good enough equipment so I can learn, provide free video for two-three friends weddings to put together a portfolio, and move forward from there.
Hey thanks for watching Brent, I think that’s a great idea and I’ve really enjoyed using the 60d for wedding videography. I mean that does sound really cheap for the 60d with that but if you test it out it would be worth it. Maybe check if it has a high shutter count
