Re: Canon EOS Rebel T6 vs D60?

I assume you mean the 60D and not the D60. The D60 dates from about 2002 with a 6mp sensor per my search.

The 60d and the T6 share essentially the same sensor/electronics and image quality. Canon repackaged that 18mp sensor over many years. The D60 is a more robust machine with more features you may or may never use. JPEG algorithms may differ between the cameras.

The articulating screen is of great use if you plan to shoot video snapshots outdoors as reflections can be minimized. However the 60D viewfinder is listed as a pentaprism so that difference is significant as well. Your call.

Both cameras are based on what is serviceable but very old technology in digital terms. You will probably be happier with the T6 overall if you are not an advanced shooter. I believe it is lighter to carry around as well. Particularly if you learn to shoot and process raw images there is little you can not do with the T6 that you could not do with a more "advanced" camera if you learn the controls.

If the price is in your range I would not have buyer's remorse.
