Canon 60D Unboxing

2011-05-30
what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy comm and today we're looking at the canon eos 60d digital SLR some of you may know that to this point i've been shooting on the Canon t2i and I've been wanting to upgrade for a while finally getting around to it so here is the warranty for the 60d and something I always like to mention is that Canon gives you a canada-us warranty so continent-wide whereas Nikon will only give you a Canada or US warranty not both so we had our installation discs as well as our instruction manuals which I probably won't ever have to look at not saying I'm a pro or anything I'm just saying these are pretty straightforward to use at this point anyway we've got a video cable standard definition video cable and this pisses me off I mean you spend a thousand bucks on a body I think they can give you an HDMI cable or HD AV cable it's about time come on canon you know nikon is the same both of them need to smarten up well put the body to the side for now and get to that in a second first we'll finish with the accessories included in the box here's the battery and of course it's different from the t2i battery it's a bigger one but this means I can't use my tty batteries in this model so those will have to go up for sale along with the t2 I here's the EOS 60d neck strap that will probably never be installed in my case I use the camera in a studio environment more often than not next we have our USB cable these come with pretty much everything these days it's a mini USB to USB no big stink there you go and the last thing to look at is the battery charger this one is also a little different than the one I received with my t2 I instead of having a power cord coming out of it it's got the flip-out style prongs I guess it's a little better for travel but little less versatile as far as where you place it so here's the body and it's heavier than the t2i or the t3i for that matter but that's because it's a little bit more rugged and it's larger which I like because the T - I felt puny in my hands so it's got a slightly better grip on it slightly different rubber they're using and of course the articulating LCD which is fantastic for getting shots in strange angles we've also got this second adjustment wheel so we can modify shutter speed and f-stop on the fly real quick so we'll go ahead and insert this battery and see if it's got any charge on it although I doubt it so I was right it shipped with no power I'll have to go ahead and charge that before I go through the menus but as you can see there are a lot more physical buttons on this model than the t2i or t3i you've got this locking selector as well and dedicated on/off switch so you can leave it in the same mode all the time there's that new grip I was talking about here's our connectors mic HDMI AV out and a plug for a remote is that second wheel I mentioned earlier this is a big deal for me when you're shooting stills in manual mode you need two adjustment dials in order to work quickly and mighty - I didn't have and I really missed it lastly we've got the articulating screen which will be nice to use as always make sure to visit the channel and hopefully you'll subscribe
