My New Gear: Canon EOS 60D February 2, 2011
Posted by very in : Announcement, Media, News, Resources, Tech , add a commentI have been wanting to get a new DSLR Camera for a few months now. I have Canon gears so I was looking into getting Canon EOS 7D late last year. During one of the trip, I stopped by Idaho Camera at Boise Towne Square Mall and tried out a few cameras. One of them was Canon EOS 60D and I really like the swivel screen.
I ordered the Canon EOS 60D on Monday from Amazon.com with one-day shipping; I have Amazon Prime Membership. The camera arrived Tuesday Afternoon as promised. I immediately opened the packaging and charged the battery. Unfortunately I already had a commitment or Tuesday evening that I didn’t have a chance to play with the camera.
Wednesday comes and I took a few pictures with the camera, I still have to learn the controls. In the meantime, I’m still using the Canon EOS 500D/Digital Rebel T1i as my main camera.
I am going to take a week or two to learn using the EOS 60D before using it as my main camera.
What’s next?
I know I need a new flash unit to go with the 60D.
