hope I don't regret !! hehe

I was on doubt about the T2i or the 60D but today while browsing amazon found that the 60D with 18-135 was for $1199

So I pull the trigger.

But I really didnt knew what to do.. Get body only on ebay + tamron on ebay 17-50 for 50 bucks more..

When I was shooting Sony I had the 17-50 and it's an awesome lens, but sometimes I would love to be bit longer.


So officially I'm ex-sony alpha user.

You can get a refurbished 7D for about that much.
Regret in 3... 2...

Well yeah, but I don't like the size/weight of the 7D.

Thanks. I hope that also, cant wait to start using my 135mm M42 F2.8 again.

The 18-135mm lens is a decent lens. When I bought my T2i, I bought it with that lens.

Enjoy!

No matter what, THIS you will not regret.

Congrats on the camera! Enjoy!

enjoy....now stay off the board for at least 2 months.....lol

Congrats! The focal length on the 18-135 is REALLY nice to have, and it's a very decent walk-around lens once you find that sweet spot. The last camera I used before my 60D was a Sony of some sort (not including my P&S) that my step-dad bought and I couldn't bear to use ISO above 100 because the grain was SO bad I nearly cried, which meant I didn't shoot indoors at all so my mom nagged me forever to get decent pics of her cats (she's not very good with anything technology-related).

To put how bad the grain was in perspective, my 60D at ISO 6400 has probably 1/4 the amount of grain the Sony had at ISO 200.

And no need to stay off the board... If you have good self-control, anyway.

Grats on the new purchas CyberManiaK! I love mine you will be pleased.

Thanks guys, now waiting for the ups man !! Just one question. Anybody knows if a SB-26/28 can be fired mounted. from my understand there shouldnt be any problem, since are low voltage. I found this page http://www.flickr.com/​photos/stratman2/

BTW: I don use TTL, i always shoot manual mode.

you get use to it. trying to justify your purchase by weight and size?
if that works for you.

as long as YOU are happy, that's good.
enjoy!

Congratulations on the purchase, you will be a happy camper

Congratz, it is a good camera. I like the dial on the back that incorporates the directional pad. I hope Canon does this for future cameras as well.

You do know that for some the 60d does things that make it a better machine than the 7d. If you don't need the af system, extra fps and weather sealing you gain AGS, Swivel screen and a lighter body.

I use my swivel screen all the time. For some it may be a gimmick, but for others, it has become an essential part of their shooting habits.

Congrats to the OP on his purchase.
