Still using the 60D in 2020 and as you said.. pair it with a good glass it turns into a beast of a camera.. will continue to use it for years to come..
It's 2023 and still use my 60D for video. It's a fantastic cam. I also have a M50 so my video footage can really match well between the two camera due to Canon's color science.
That's awesome, what a cool gift! Yeah, I really enjoy using the Canon 60D, I definitely think it's one of Canon's most underrated older cameras. Excited for you to get out and get some great video and pics with it!
I picked the 60D over the full frame 5D mk11 for travel photography many years ago for 4 reasons. The articulated LCD screen; ability to use both EF and EFS glass; weight and value. I have no regrets. Magic Lantern has really changed the options and the learning experience. As technology makes this old timer obsolete, I am holding on to this camera. I will consider a 7D mk11 as an upgrade in focusing, framing rates and buffering which are the 60D major issues depending on the type of photography you are considering. Otherwise, its a keeper.
I recently bought a 60D and I paired it with a Rokinon 85mm manual lease and im not a professional photographer, in fact, im learning by myself, and I got some good shots. It's a great camera to learn the basics and get in full details to jump later on into a new more recent camera.
I echo the positive feedback of many of the comments from others below. Wikipedia states that it was first released on 26 August 2010. I bought a Canon 60D with a 18-200mm (3.5-5.6f) as a birthday gift to myself in 2015 (almost 5 years later) and have never regretted it. If at all, I have yet to master photography techniques that would bring out more from the camera combo. The memories on camera with my family in the UK, Spain, Australia, and at home give me warmth to what my family sees today because the 60D is such a great camera, even in 2020. But then, I am merely an amateur photographer whilst the guy on "Reel Filmmaking", who is more a professional in this arena is recommending the same in 2019. Thanks.
I could not agree with you more. I just purchased a 60D it is my first DSLR of this kind I LOVE IT!!! I got the EFS 18-55 lens and it is amazing!!! I am use to the old film camera's is all I have ever used with the exception of a Kodak V1000 series I bought years ago. I am trying to start something I have always loved taking pictures since I was a kid. At 65 its a bit tough for me to learn what is what because all this fancy stuff LOL!!! And with a bad Cataract in my right eye not so bad in left but a bit fuzzy I have taken some very good pictures nice and clear with this camera.
I got my 60D when it first came out. I still use it. Doesn’t matter what camera you use, a top notch camera can still take sucky pictures. If you’re a sucky photographer, well your photos will be an extension of that. The 60D is a great camera to learn on and expand your repertoire and techniques.
Some of the cameras that travelled to mars on satallites had only a 4 mg sensors and took fantastic pictures. The 60d has 18 megs.the camera is only as good as the user.
I bought my 60D new shortly after they came out. I considered myself a knowledge beginner who wanted a quality camera that I could grow into. I was pleased with the photos I was taking from the start and it served exactly the purpose I hoped it would. I’m going to look into Magic Lantern and start flexing the video capabilities of this workhorse now! Thanks for the info!
I was thinking of going to a T5i from my T3i but I had a hunch to look at a 60D. Thanks for your thoughts on the 60D. Really helps me decide which was to go.
Glad this video was helpful for you man! Welcome to the 60D family! But really it's a great camera and I think you're gonna be amazed at the quality you can get out of it.
such a good and smooth video, my dude! I'm planning to buy a 60D in 2020 because it has a mic jack, a hotshoe, which my Canon EOS M10 (which is newer) doesn't have.
Thanks man, I appreciate that. Yeah, having that mic jack and hot-shoe helps a ton in getting good audio out of any camera. Glad to hear you checking out the 60D! It's a great camera!
Thanks! That's the one I have. Good to start with and practice basic skills and get to know the options and to experiment with lenses. Have you already or would you please do a video on this camera with results on different lenses and how to achieve the best from each lens and filter.
Still loving my 60D!! Sure it would be nice to have the touch screen and Dual Pixel AF, but that doesn't prevent this camera from taking a great picture.
Yeah! It's a great camera! I've heard really good stuff about the Sigma 18-35, but I haven't gotten a chance to try one of them. You like it? Should I pick it up?
Man i would suggest a T5i if cheap 1080p video + a little photography is the approach. Same sensor, almost same camera but with continuous AF for video mode and touchscreen (both nice features for Vlogs). As for mainly Photography, i would say that 60D is a great deal, the weather sealed and professional controls layout on such a cheap body makes it a helluva choice. It has a good image quality, good shutter speed/burst mode... 18mpx its not great but it will be enough even for 2020 Photo competition requirements while keeping files small. what more can you ask for...? Only real drawback is the noise at higher ISO. BUT... Any canon APS-C will struggle at ISO higher than 1600, since they do tend to add more and more megapixels in their APS-C sensors keeping photosites smaller, so despite technicall improvements the challenge is harder, that's why you won't see a real-life improvement from 3200 ISO on 60D compared to 3200 ISO on 90D. That's the brand approach in order to force consumers to eventually upgrade from APS-C to Full frame. Other brands like Sony have a different aproach, that's why their APS-C cameras have much smaller megapixel count but they handle ISO way way better.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! For mountain photography or anything outside where you're trying to get a landscape shot, I would lean towards a wide angle lens. I've used a Canon EF 20mm f2.8 for some landscape and cityscape photography and gotten some really nice results shooting around f4-5.6. If you're using a camera like the 60D with that lens you'll have a x1.6 crop on the lens, but that still puts you around a 35mm equivalent which is still great for landscape/mountain photography. If you would rather go with a Canon EF-S lens, I'd recommend either the Canon 17-55mm or the Sigma EF-S mount 18-35mm. Both of these lens will give great wide angles, but still give you some room to zoom and having that versatility while out shooting is always a plus. Both of these lens are stabilized which is great, and the Sigma 18-35mm has an aperture of 1.8 making it great for low light situations, for something like doing some mountain photography during a sunrise or sunset.
The reason i want to upgrade to a 70d from my trusty 60d is because i do a lot of self portraits, so the camera connect would make my life immensely easier, and the second reason is the low light performance. Its just not that good, its definitely not bad, but its also not very good.
Yeah, that totally makes sense. The camera connect app is super helpful especially for self portraits/vlogging type videos where you need to see yourself in frame. The 70D is a great camera too! I'd highly recommend it!
Thanks! Glad you liked it! In terms of a newer APSC size camera with good recording qualities I might look at the Canon m50 or the Canon SL2 or Canon SL3.
Hi thank you for your video, I was lucky enough to acquire a canon 60d 2nd hand, I had to invest some money into it to refurbish it but it was well worth the money I feel. I am not an expert but I would love to get into videography, and this camera also came with some additional lenses nothing fancy but as a novice I feel like it was a come up. Do you offer lessons or tutorials?
That's awesome the 60D is a great camera, especially for getting into video and photography. I don't offer personal lessons or tutorials, but I've got other videos on the channel that help teach different principles, camera settings, and technical skills related to the Canon 60D. I'll drop a link here to a playlist for the Canon 60D, hope that helps man! Feel free to hit me up anytime! ruclips.net/p/PLgnJm06Uf0TFxhEXwJLCpD14bMqXxdks1
Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! For night time videography I would definitely suggest using a prime lens. Prime lenses have a faster aperture than most zoom lenses, and because of that they can take in WAY more light making them a great option for lowlight shooting. For a good and fast prime lense on a budget I would recommend the Canon "nifty fifty" F1.8. New it's only around $100 or you can find used versions of it in great condition for about half the price. I've used that lense a ton for video work (some at night!), interviews, and portrait photography and it's helped me produce some of my favorite work. Hope that helps!!
I haven't personally used it, but I know many people who do video/photo rave about it as one of the best lenses for crop sensor cameras. It's on my list to pick up at some point.
Hey, I’ve been doing a photo service club at my school and we have been using a 70d’s, and I thing they are pretty good. The 60 d sounds like a way better deal than the 70d. Do you feel it is worth it to get it over the 70d? I’m just doing photography.
Yeah, the 60D is a great camera, but the 70D is right up there with it! I would say if you have access to 70D's for your photo club, keep rocking those. If you need to pick up some more cameras or you want to get a personal camera and some lenses at a low cost, I would definitely recommend the 60D. A bonus feature Canon implemented in the 70D that they didn't have in the 60D was the Dual Pixel Auto Focus. This is especially helpful in video mode because the autofocus will track a face or subject and continually hold it in focus. It can al be a nice feature if you're shooting in live mode and are tracking a moving subject. The aftermarket software I mentioned, Magic Lantern, is free software you can search and download onto an SD card and insert into your camera. It doesn't delete your operating system, but just overrides it since it's loading from your memory card. With Magic Lantern you get access to tons of helpful features for photo and video like time lapse mode, focus peaking, histogram, zebras, extra zoom, and more. I would highly recommend trying Magic Lantern, it's great software and I love having more options when I'm shooting. Hope this helps! Thanks for checking out the video! I actually did a more in-depth video about Magic Lantern here on the channel if you want to check it and get some more details!
Man, I'm really debating between this camera and the DJI Osmo Pocket!! I'll only be using the device for videography. I'm a personal trainer so I'll be using it to shoot my training videos. What's your take... Which one should I go with? Thanks...
My choice between those two cameras for video would be the DJI Osmo Pocket, the main reason being the size and the autofocus. If you're gonna be doing a lot of videos where you have to set the camera up and the be in front of it, having good auto focus is a must. And as much as I love the Canon 60D, autofocus is one of its biggest weaknesses, because it doesn't have Canon's Dual Pixel autofocus. If you'd be open to another suggestion for camera very similar to the 60D that benefits from some newer tech, I would suggest the Canon SL2. It's one of the smallest dlsr cameras Canon makes, it has great autofocus, good Canon colors, and wifi/bluetooth which makes filming yourself with the Canon connect app WAY easier. Hope this helps man!!
Thanks!! Yeah, the g7 is a really good deal in terms of all you get for the price, I'm a really big fan of the camera! The 4k 24fps at 100mbps is definitely a stand out feature of the camera. If you're looking to solely do video I think it's a great camera! If you're looking for more of a hybrid photo and video camera I might look to possibly Canon or Sony. If you're hoping to make vlogs/youtube content, I would go with something like a Canon sl2 which doesn't have 4k, but does include the dual pixel autofocus, which helps so much in creating. If you don't need the autofocus, I would TOTALLY recommend the 60D!! I do enjoy Canon colors, and I'm a fan of getting my image straight out of camera with minimal tweaks, which is why I lean towards Canon. Another thing to note about the g7, if you know you like the look of a full-frame or APSC (usually more depth of field) with a micro 4/3 sensor, some people have said they struggle to recreate that look, though there are tons of great lenses you can adapt to micro 4/3. A final consideration like I mentioned in the video is lens selection for which camera eco system you're getting into. Sony, Canon, and Panasonic have really nice glass, that looks great, but is really expensive, but I know Canon has many options for lenses (EF,EFS) that are of high quality but don't completely break the bank and that you can pickup for good deals used. The lens ecosystem, (and my limited budget!!) was a big factor in why I leaned towards Canon cameras when I was first starting out! I think either way you go 60D or G7, you'll have more than enough camera to keep you going for a while!!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, the Canon 60D does have a 3.5mm external jack for a microphone. So your lapel mic should be able to work with the camera no problem!
Thanks for Fernando! I think for landscape shots at dawn, I feel like the Canon 60D and the SL2 would both perform in a very similar fashion. The 60D has a great sensor which the SL2 has too. The SL2 has newer tech in it with the new Digic processor, but honestly I think either camera will do great for you.
Hi! So autofocus with both the 700d and the 60d isn't great since they don't have Canon's dual pixel auto focus. If you're looking to buy between both cameras, they have very similar specs, so I'd buy the 60d since it's a bit older and you can get it cheaper and use the extra money you would have paid for the 700d and put it towards some other gear. For vlogging with either camera, I'd recommend a wide angle lens, since they naturally keep more of the shot in focus than something like an 85mm or 50mm lens. The other thing I would do is close down your aperture on the camera. You will lose some depth of field in your shot, but the more you close the aperture the more of the whole image is brought into focus. So if you're vlogging with maybe a 20 or 35mm lens and you're at f.4.5-5.6 you should be able to keep yourself in focus pretty well. Sorry for the info overload, hope it helps!!
I'd personally go with the 60D over the T7/1500D. I think the Canon 60D will give you a better overall image for photo and videos. Also, the T7/1500D doesn't have a flip out screen, so if you're doing a lot of video or want to vlog you're gonna want to go with the 60D. Hope that helps!!
Definitely!! 18-135mm is a great lens, and pairing that with the 60D can give you intermediate to professional level results, especially with good lighting.
You can buy an intervalometer that you use for timelapses to help you focus from a distance and fire the shutter or start recording, for say RUclips videos or videos where you're in front of the camera and can't reach the record button. Unfortunately, there is no support for any wireless apps, like the Canon connect app.
I would say the best settings for a Canon 60D and most of Canon's other DSLRs in that line are as follows: Framerate: 24fps Shutterspeed: 1/50 sec ISO: Indoors (640-1200) Outdoors (100-320) These settings will help you get the best looking "cinematic" or natural looking footage to the eye. If you'd like a bit more details of how to set this up feel free to check out a video I did a while back on it! ruclips.net/video/qysxEJxiEgg/видео.html
Yeah, I would keep it the same for vlogging too. Since the 60D doesn't have great autofocus, I'd recommend a wide lense or shooting at a higher f-stop like 4-5.6 to keep yourself in focus easier. Hope this helps!
I wouldn't buy full frame lenses for it. The EF-S offerings are cheaper and more suitable. I use one with a 50-150mm, 10-20mm and 30mm 1.4 It's still good enough that I don't want to upgrade.
Yeah, I'd love to share some of my thoughts about these two cameras. The g7 is a really good deal in terms of all you get for the price, I'm a really big fan of the camera! The 4k 24fps at 100mbps is definitely a stand out feature of the camera. If you're looking to solely do video I think it's a great camera!

The Canon 60D does have auto focus, but it's not the Dual Pixel Auto Focus that everyone loves from Canon. It's a contrast based auto focus that works okay for shooting objects or things, but not faces or people. I wouldn't depend on the autofocus for trying to vlog.
I work professionally with the 60 in photos. I use for sport photography pared with 70-200 tamron g2 and body and lens are in love with each other Sport 500px.com/photo/1011611003 Portraits 500px.com/photo/1015486893 Product photos 500px.com/photo/1007493176 Landscape 500px.com/photo/219486783 Most of my work it's with a 60d
I just started watching the vid and I already can tell why my 60D is infinitely better than whatever the piece of utter crap the "dialogue" was filmed with - 60D's autofocus NEVER hunts. NEVER. It has no autofocus in video mode. Having no autofocus that is so crappy is a great feature I'd still pay extra money for.
Still using the 60D in 2020 and as you said.. pair it with a good glass it turns into a beast of a camera.. will continue to use it for years to come..
Yeah, I really love my 60D.
It's 2023 and still use my 60D for video. It's a fantastic cam. I also have a M50 so my video footage can really match well between the two camera due to Canon's color science.
I was lucky enough to be gifted with this camera today by an amazing friend. I’m delighted with the results it gives
That's awesome, what a cool gift! Yeah, I really enjoy using the Canon 60D, I definitely think it's one of Canon's most underrated older cameras. Excited for you to get out and get some great video and pics with it!
Reel Filmmaking thank you so much for this great video 😊 seeing as it’s Halloween, I’m going to get some practice taking photos of pumpkins hehe
"Specs are not a testament to what a camera can do." Incredibly true statement & well said.
I still have my canon 60D. You are so right about what you said about the camera.
Thanks man!

So True!!
been looking for this kind of review. this guys the best new subscriber
Thanks!
My dad just bought me this camera for doing RUclips videos. Thanks for this!
That's awesome Toki! I'm glad this video was helpful for you. I think the 60D is totally competent as a camera for video and photos in 2020!
Thanks! That's the one I have. Good to start with and practice basic skills and get to know the options and to experiment with lenses.
Have you already or would you please do a video on this camera with results on different lenses and how to achieve the best from each lens and filter.
Thanks for the idea! I might have something in the works on this!
Still loving my 60D!! Sure it would be nice to have the touch screen and Dual Pixel AF, but that doesn't prevent this camera from taking a great picture.
Yeah, I really wish it had DPAF too, but I still really enjoy shooting with this camera!
glad to see im not the only one still shooting with it! I just shot a wedding last week paired with the sigma 18-35 . Still a amazing camera
Yeah! It's a great camera! I've heard really good stuff about the Sigma 18-35, but I haven't gotten a chance to try one of them. You like it? Should I pick it up?
Reel Filmmaking it’s a great piece of glass! If you don’t want to buy it, renting from borrowlenses.com is a good way to check it out
@@Duboknows Sweet! I hope to check it out soon.
I'm getting this camera
I love my 60D! Glass over body anyways!
Yeah!!
I got a used 60 d on eBay for under $200 -2 years ago & have been making poetic & dramatic videos for my youtube channel & have no problems
That sounds like a great deal on that 60D!
Man i would suggest a T5i if cheap 1080p video + a little photography is the approach. Same sensor, almost same camera but with continuous AF for video mode and touchscreen (both nice features for Vlogs).

I got one for my birthday this week :-)
Thank you so much for this video !!! Can you also do a video on using the powershot sx30 in 2020 ?
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the vid! I would love to make a video about the Canon Powershot SX30, but I currently don't have one. :(
Wonderful video.
Which other canon camera can I get for shooting videos that is better than canon 60d.
Thanks! Glad you liked it! In terms of a newer APSC size camera with good recording qualities I might look at the Canon m50 or the Canon SL2 or Canon SL3.
Hi thank you for your video, I was lucky enough to acquire a canon 60d 2nd hand, I had to invest some money into it to refurbish it but it was well worth the money I feel.

For a good and fast prime lense on a budget I would recommend the Canon "nifty fifty" F1.8. New it's only around $100 or you can find used versions of it in great condition for about half the price. I've used that lense a ton for video work (some at night!), interviews, and portrait photography and it's helped me produce some of my favorite work. Hope that helps!!
@@reelfilmmaking101 thank you so much for your reply, that was actually the lense i was considering buying 🙏
i would say to find out canon fd prime :) its old but the beast. I'm still using it with my 60d
How do you get magic lantern??
You can get magic lantern from their website at magiclantern.fm
@@reelfilmmaking101 too bad I upgraded firmware :(
what you think sigma 18 - 35 f.18 for video ?
I haven't personally used it, but I know many people who do video/photo rave about it as one of the best lenses for crop sensor cameras. It's on my list to pick up at some point.
Hey, I’ve been doing a photo service club at my school and we have been using a 70d’s, and I thing they are pretty good. The 60 d sounds like a way better deal than the 70d. Do you feel it is worth it to get it over the 70d? I’m just doing photography.
If you respond, could you talla little more about the aftermarket software you talked about? (Magic lantern)
Yeah, the 60D is a great camera, but the 70D is right up there with it! I would say if you have access to 70D's for your photo club, keep rocking those. If you need to pick up some more cameras or you want to get a personal camera and some lenses at a low cost, I would definitely recommend the 60D. A bonus feature Canon implemented in the 70D that they didn't have in the 60D was the Dual Pixel Auto Focus. This is especially helpful in video mode because the autofocus will track a face or subject and continually hold it in focus. It can al be a nice feature if you're shooting in live mode and are tracking a moving subject.
The aftermarket software I mentioned, Magic Lantern, is free software you can search and download onto an SD card and insert into your camera. It doesn't delete your operating system, but just overrides it since it's loading from your memory card. With Magic Lantern you get access to tons of helpful features for photo and video like time lapse mode, focus peaking, histogram, zebras, extra zoom, and more. I would highly recommend trying Magic Lantern, it's great software and I love having more options when I'm shooting. Hope this helps! Thanks for checking out the video! I actually did a more in-depth video about Magic Lantern here on the channel if you want to check it and get some more details!
Reel Filmmaking Sounds Great! Thx so much for the videos, and for helping me!
Man, I'm really debating between this camera and the DJI Osmo Pocket!! I'll only be using the device for videography. I'm a personal trainer so I'll be using it to shoot my training videos. What's your take... Which one should I go with? Thanks...
My choice between those two cameras for video would be the DJI Osmo Pocket, the main reason being the size and the autofocus. If you're gonna be doing a lot of videos where you have to set the camera up and the be in front of it, having good auto focus is a must. And as much as I love the Canon 60D, autofocus is one of its biggest weaknesses, because it doesn't have Canon's Dual Pixel autofocus. If you'd be open to another suggestion for camera very similar to the 60D that benefits from some newer tech, I would suggest the Canon SL2. It's one of the smallest dlsr cameras Canon makes, it has great autofocus, good Canon colors, and wifi/bluetooth which makes filming yourself with the Canon connect app WAY easier. Hope this helps man!!
@@reelfilmmaking101 Thanks so much for your time and expert opinion!
great video I'm thinking of getting a 60d or g7 for filmmaking and I'm on a budget what would you recommend? thanks!
Thanks!! Yeah, the g7 is a really good deal in terms of all you get for the price, I'm a really big fan of the camera! The 4k 24fps at 100mbps is definitely a stand out feature of the camera. If you're looking to solely do video I think it's a great camera! If you're looking for more of a hybrid photo and video camera I might look to possibly Canon or Sony. If you're hoping to make vlogs/youtube content, I would go with something like a Canon sl2 which doesn't have 4k, but does include the dual pixel autofocus, which helps so much in creating. If you don't need the autofocus, I would TOTALLY recommend the 60D!! I do enjoy Canon colors, and I'm a fan of getting my image straight out of camera with minimal tweaks, which is why I lean towards Canon. Another thing to note about the g7, if you know you like the look of a full-frame or APSC (usually more depth of field) with a micro 4/3 sensor, some people have said they struggle to recreate that look, though there are tons of great lenses you can adapt to micro 4/3. A final consideration like I mentioned in the video is lens selection for which camera eco system you're getting into. Sony, Canon, and Panasonic have really nice glass, that looks great, but is really expensive, but I know Canon has many options for lenses (EF,EFS) that are of high quality but don't completely break the bank and that you can pickup for good deals used. The lens ecosystem, (and my limited budget!!) was a big factor in why I leaned towards Canon cameras when I was first starting out! I think either way you go 60D or G7, you'll have more than enough camera to keep you going for a while!!
Thanks for this video! Just a quick question: Does the Canon 60D have a plug for an external microphone? (I have a plug in lapel mic.)
Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, the Canon 60D does have a 3.5mm external jack for a microphone. So your lapel mic should be able to work with the camera no problem!
@@reelfilmmaking101 Thanks!
Great channel man, you are real
Thanks!
Really loved your channel from Pakistan
Thanks!
Great video! Do you think for landscape shots (dawn) Canon 60D has better performance than Canon SL2?
Thanks for Fernando! I think for landscape shots at dawn, I feel like the Canon 60D and the SL2 would both perform in a very similar fashion. The 60D has a great sensor which the SL2 has too. The SL2 has newer tech in it with the new Digic processor, but honestly I think either camera will do great for you.
@@reelfilmmaking101 Thanks!
Hi! How do you solve autofocus problem? Which one would you recommend for vlogging? Canon 700d or 60d? Thanks in advance for answering
Hi! So autofocus with both the 700d and the 60d isn't great since they don't have Canon's dual pixel auto focus. If you're looking to buy between both cameras, they have very similar specs, so I'd buy the 60d since it's a bit older and you can get it cheaper and use the extra money you would have paid for the 700d and put it towards some other gear. For vlogging with either camera, I'd recommend a wide angle lens, since they naturally keep more of the shot in focus than something like an 85mm or 50mm lens. The other thing I would do is close down your aperture on the camera. You will lose some depth of field in your shot, but the more you close the aperture the more of the whole image is brought into focus. So if you're vlogging with maybe a 20 or 35mm lens and you're at f.4.5-5.6 you should be able to keep yourself in focus pretty well. Sorry for the info overload, hope it helps!!
Shall I go for a 60D china refurbished or a T7/1500D?
I'd personally go with the 60D over the T7/1500D. I think the Canon 60D will give you a better overall image for photo and videos. Also, the T7/1500D doesn't have a flip out screen, so if you're doing a lot of video or want to vlog you're gonna want to go with the 60D. Hope that helps!!
Is it good for intermediate / Professional photography along with 18-135 lens?
Definitely!! 18-135mm is a great lens, and pairing that with the 60D can give you intermediate to professional level results, especially with good lighting.
That's my second setup and it works great
@@alabanzasmariojr Yeah! It's a great setup for a second.
Is there is remote ? To control 60d
You can buy an intervalometer that you use for timelapses to help you focus from a distance and fire the shutter or start recording, for say RUclips videos or videos where you're in front of the camera and can't reach the record button. Unfortunately, there is no support for any wireless apps, like the Canon connect app.
What are the best settings for recording
I would say the best settings for a Canon 60D and most of Canon's other DSLRs in that line are as follows:
Framerate: 24fps
Shutterspeed: 1/50 sec
ISO: Indoors (640-1200) Outdoors (100-320)
These settings will help you get the best looking "cinematic" or natural looking footage to the eye. If you'd like a bit more details of how to set this up feel free to check out a video I did a while back on it!
ruclips.net/video/qysxEJxiEgg/видео.html
Is this gonna be same for vlogging too
Yeah, I would keep it the same for vlogging too. Since the 60D doesn't have great autofocus, I'd recommend a wide lense or shooting at a higher f-stop like 4-5.6 to keep yourself in focus easier. Hope this helps!
@@ChatoYeet you can download clog so you color grade in post, work great for me using this camera for 10 year now and still rocking
Good video!
Thanks so much!!
I wouldn't buy full frame lenses for it. The EF-S offerings are cheaper and more suitable. I use one with a 50-150mm, 10-20mm and 30mm 1.4 It's still good enough that I don't want to upgrade.
Yeah, I think for the price, the Canon EF-S line has some great affordable glass that can produce amazing results!
Hello brother .. can u suggest which the best either canon 60d or lumix g7 ?
Yeah, I'd love to share some of my thoughts about these two cameras. The g7 is a really good deal in terms of all you get for the price, I'm a really big fan of the camera! The 4k 24fps at 100mbps is definitely a stand out feature of the camera. If you're looking to solely do video I think it's a great camera!

awesome
Thanks!
Still using 60D till this day! Check my channel for videos!
Yeah Yeah!! 60D for the win!!
Does the 60d has auto focus?
The Canon 60D does have auto focus, but it's not the Dual Pixel Auto Focus that everyone loves from Canon. It's a contrast based auto focus that works okay for shooting objects or things, but not faces or people. I wouldn't depend on the autofocus for trying to vlog.
Heard it has shitty auto focus and is bad for vlogging, can anyone relate?
I work professionally with the 60 in photos. I use for sport photography pared with 70-200 tamron g2 and body and lens are in love with each other

Most of my work it's with a 60d
I just started watching the vid and I already can tell why my 60D is infinitely better than whatever the piece of utter crap the "dialogue" was filmed with - 60D's autofocus NEVER hunts. NEVER.
It has no autofocus in video mode. Having no autofocus that is so crappy is a great feature I'd still pay extra money for.
