Trying to decide between Canon 60D or Rebel t5i. Any suggestions?

It depends on your preferences: if you are serious about photography then you'd want 60D. If you just want to take nice family photos then Rebel will be more then enough.

I intend to buy the Canon 60D from Amazon.I saw other sites like Fumfie.com selling the same camera kit cheaper than Amazon, but I do prefer to pay more and avoid problems.

I do not have a FF DSLR, (I have a 50d and 10-22mm) but what I know is that they have the same field of view, so I think the 60D and 10-22mm combo will be great.

If you have 2 choices, then you must go and try both cameras and try to choose by what you feel. I have the Canon, its my 3rd G series (had the 9 and 11, among 6 or 7 other cameras) and overall its an amazing camera, really. Very VERY quick, with is something that can really make a differnece when hunting for that special pic. Nothing to envy in luminosity to the best reflex out there, it takes pictures with low light that are incredible for the size and price of this machine. And my favourite! the slow motion video recorder, great adition and lots of fun there. The wifi? never used it, yet!

My next purchase will be a D60 with the 50mm 1.4 lens. I have shot 100s of weddings and portraits with my Rebel 300D and a 17-85 zoom, since 2003. At my day job we use a 5D and D60 with L lenses for stills. The D60 will be an ENORMOUS upgrade from my 8 year old Rebel. I shoot video for a living, so the D60 will be a nice addition to my personal cameras.

I definitely think the T49 is worth the money -- but only if you buy the nice STM lens. It is seriously an amazing lens, and I love the autofocus feature when you're taking video. Even if you're only focusing on photos, the camera is great. The enhanced auto function takes beautiful photos when you're in a hurry and don't have time to mess with ISO and aperture, and I think it takes crisper photos than the T2i (although it's probably just the nice lens). Go for it if you have the money.

It sounds like the 6D will suit you fine. Many of the replies have stated that if you can afford the 5D then get that and while I agree it seems that your two greatest concerns are 1) low-light photography and 2) price. The 6D hits each of those points well by being full frame and not as expensive as the 5D. Considering you've been using a Rebel XT the 6D will be a huge step up and should allow you to get some great shots, just remember to pair it with a good lens as well. Which is another great point, since price is an issue, you may very well get more bang for buck by spending the extra money on a much better lens than stepping up to a 5D.

You're right. If I were willing to consider the extra cost, I think I would upgrade to the Canon 50D.I'm still trying to sort it all out!

The 30D, as noted by others, is a much sturdier camera. In addition, keep in mind that it shoots at a faster rate (5 fps), has a more ergonomic set of controls, and shoots better in low light-- ranging all the way up to 3200 ISO after expansion.I wouldn't be surprised to see Canon offer a similar jump to 10.1 MP or higher in this price range soon, more to compete with Nikon's D80 and D200 than to compete with their own product.That said, I'm adding the XTi as a backup to my existing 20D.

I would go with the cheaper d40. Easily available for $470, two hundred bucks cheaper than the 60. Put the $200 you save toward a nice lens. Check out www.kenrockwell.com for more reasons why it's better. You wont need the extra pixels of the 60 or 80. If you want a more advanced camera, get the successor to the 80 due out later this year or the D300.

It's really a matter of personal preference and what you plan to do with it. Both are great cameras and I'm sure you will be happy with either. After doing an exhaustive amount of research I selected the T5i because I plan on shooting stills and videos. The Canon out performs Nikon slightly in the video category, while Nikon has a slight advantage in low light shooting stills. If you do decide to go with the T5i I strongly recommend that you seek out "camerarec toby" on you tube. He has fantastic tips and training videos on the T5i that are free and yet invaluable. That being said I firmly believe that either camera will amaze you with their features and abilities. It's really a matter of personal preference and what you plan to do with it.

T3i, t4i and t5i should all work well for you. I believe the 5d would be more than you need. I'd also maybe look at getting a gopro. It's much smaller incase you needed to mount the camera in a tight space to film your hands.

Get the IS version. The extra $ are well spent; I have regretted it each time I bought a lower version of a lens and with a great 5D you would be better off with less lens and more quality.

I've never shot a T5i so I honestly can't compare. I had a Rebel for about 10 years and loved it, but the 70d is just awesome.

If you haven't already purchased yet, we owned two T5is and returned them both because we were not satisfied with the camera. The T5i had duller colors in our studio, and no matter what settings we chose, we couldn't improve it (except in post-production). Not only does the Nikon have around 8 more megapixels than the T5i, but it takes significantly better quality images as well. Overall, there is no competition: go with the Nikon.

I went through the same dilemma, and while I can't remember all the pros and cons my choice was the 6D. It seemed like the 7D was better for action and video. I already had a crop sensor in my Rebel xsi, and wanted a full frame, plus I was looking for more of an ISO range. Love the 6D. If you are interested in images from this camera I have a Facebook page, Wyoming Willow Sticks. You probably can't go wrong with either camera, just depends on what features fit you. Good luck.
