The AGC disable and manual audio level control in the 60D allows some projects to be accomplished without using external audio recorders although there is still not a way to "monitor" audio from the camera with headphones (one workaround for this will be to do a "test" scene on location and plug the media card into a laptop computer, checking both video and audio that way).Another appreciated feature is the articulating LCD.

what I was after was the ability to disable AGC in the audio, I was doing "double system" audio using ZoomH2 and ZoomH1 recorders and having to "synch" up in post processing.

Even with the best mic on earth the AGC kills any chance of using the audio by filling it with hissing sounds

I had a Nikon DLSR that could not really support a IS lense that was up to 300 because the length was not supported by the body wieght

When I was looking to upgrade my DSLR camera, I wanted something I could grow with, as well as not breaking the bank

I could only keep either the Nikon D700 or the Canon 60D, I'd choose the Canon because it is more versatile (stills and video) and the stills are almost as nice as those produced on the D700.

This may prove useful for videographers, as well as for setting up compositions while the camera is on a tripod, for macro use, or for using it from unusually low or high vantage points.

Works as it suppose to...!

I have used it to shoot in low light situations indoors without flash as well as for outdoor bright light action shots.

and I don't want to give the wrong impression, but the images from this camera are not as nice as from the D700.

I recently purchased a used 60D to serve as backup as well as to

Needless to say, I have returned Canon back to Amazon (great service, by the way - I would buy ONLY directly from Amazon).I have read many reviews before I ordered Canon 60D camera, as well as on Amazon.

I looked at the Nikon D90 and D7000; as well as, the Canon T2i

I have used this camera to shoot weddings and other events, as well as for nature photography

Last year I struggled as to whether I should get the new (at that time

well except when I am cursing as I have to make a change and have to stop and do it with both hands...other than that I overlook
