I want to buy a canon 60d camera because of the price and the features that i need but I would like to know what kind of dslr camera you have and why do you chose that particular model of camera? Thank you.
Answer
I purchased a Pentax Kx DSLR. ALthough I have loved Canon's for many years, I don't care for the multiple focusing squares in the viewfinder. That is why handling a camera before you purchase is so important. It has got to be comfortable, other wise forget it. I also chose the Pentax Kx because I got rid of all my film equipment years ago and was starting fresh. I do not do as much work as I am retired. So the lens that came with the camera and a Tamron18mm-200mm fill my needs.

What is a good starter lens for the Canon 60D for videography purposes?

I just bought the Canon 60D mostly for videography purposes. I am looking to purchase a lens with great wide angle and zoom capabilities. I understand I will have to eventually buy more than one, but I'm looking for one that is well rounded in both departments.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

EVERY person filming or taking pictures NEEDS a good PRIME lens such as a 50mm. A 50mm lens can be found for as little as $120 for a f/1.8, I personally would go for a f/1.4 which is about $200 more, there is really only two differences in the 1.8 and the 1.4; build quality and the F stop which is the aperture. I don't know if you know anything about aperture but the lower the F number the lower light you can shoot in (without cranking up ISO). I know you said you want a zoom lens, but at $120 for a 50mm I thought it would be a great addition to your lens collection allowing you to shoot in low light situations. Now a REALLY GOOD lens that is wide angle and zooms (a little bit) is the 17-40mm this is an L lens which stands for Luxury (and are denoted by the red ring on the barrel). The barrel of Canon L lenses are generally made from metal and the optics are superb. This lens isn't too expensive but it will run you a good $800 (these lenses are built like tanks, most are water-resistant, but I'd advise checking out your choice of L lens to see if you can have it out in a light rain). My advice to you is to search the website of your local camera store and look at the selection of lenses, this way you know your store either has the lens in stock, or you know they can get it in stock. Also, going to your local camera store and talking with someone who works there could be very beneficial, not only will they tell you a good lens for your needs, but you could learn some things on how to take AMAZING pictures and video.
