Hi, I had a question regarding the 60D I was hoping you guys could help me with. Is there a dedicated flash compensation button (like on the 7D or 5D)? Or do you have to access the menus to change flash compensation?

Also, how does the size/ergonomics feel in your hands compared to the 7D? The grip for example, was too small on the XSi but using a 7D feels just the right size. Is the 60D significantly smaller?

Thanks!

Not sure about a button, but I know that there is flash compensation. As for the size it's just a tad smaller than the 7D not by much.

I can't answer the question regarding 7d ergonomics. The 60d does not have a dedicated FEC button. But, there is a Cfn for it. You can set the center button (OK button), for it. I have mine set up, this way.

You can also set it up on your custom menu so it's about two button presses away. I personally don't use that feature a lot, although I did take an adventure down the fully manual wireless + pop up flash road the other day which was pretty rewarding and I got some good pics of my kid with a cheap setup.

The 7D is kind of a different beast. Takes different memory, has more advanced AF, and a few other things that move it up the pricing tree. Personally I'm content with my 60D.

Thanks for your replies guys. I've been thinking of trading my 7D for a 60D as I really don't need the FPS nor the advanced AF system, MA etc. (though they are nice features). The main things that I would miss from the 7D is just good ergonomics as well as the flash compensation but it looks like it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks again.

testing my kenko tubes with my tammy...

Maybe adding a little contrast will make it more lively. Overall nice pic. keep shooting.

Cool! Don't worry about the camera for now, just focus on composition!

Oh harro!

Trying out the Sigma's "macro mode"

+1 on the composition...

here's a camera simulator to practice getting correct exposure while in computer...
http://camerasim.com/c​amera-simulator.html

practice the exposure compensation using the aperture, exposure time(shutter speed) and ISO.

70-200 L f4 IS is wicked sick. The full res version is almost 3D.
Also glad to have the complete weather sealing. My 60D + 70-200 got drenched and even dunked into snow. Not a problem.

Oh, and I got 1,700 shots on a single charge using IS and sometimes live view. Also had juice left before I replaced it.

MikeDee,

I'm shooting a lot of kids hockey these days w the Canon 70-200L. Here are some shots if you are interested in the capabilities of this lens.

https://picasaweb.goog​le.com …u-A99jaIQ&feat=directlin​k

My technique has changed a little from the beginning of the album to end. Additionally, I am streamlining my LR3 work, especially w regards to sharpening and NR.

Good luck on your decision,
Rick

Thanks Rick. Great shots in there. My gut tells me to keep saving for the canon. Decisions, decisions......

So I need help understanding something. I use my 60 inside with low lights and use the awb and then use M to take the photo at like 4000 ISO and it just doesn't look that great plus it takes a 2 second shot. I then set my camera to the full auto with no flash and it uses 3200 awb and all that other stuff and looks great. I tried recreating the auto shot in M, but get no where the same results. Is there something I'm missing?
