The Canon 60D (my camera)
This camera will take you as far as you want to go. If you're after professional
looking videos and photos, this is your guy! My personal
camera of choice, this fantastic DSLR (Digital Single Lens
Reflex) camera has it all. Several auto settings give you
great power over the outcome of your visuals, and the full
control over manual settings can really bring out the artist in
you.
