Re: Canon EOS Rebel T6 vs D60?

Thanks to everyone who responded! All your feedback has been very helpful.

I originally went with my camera shop’s recommendation of the T6 over the 60D because  it was the notably newer of the two in production timeframe  (2016 vs 2010) and in physical age (Physically new condition, and only 2336 lifetime clicks).  They were asking $199 For the 60D and $249 for the T6.

I realize that spec-wise I left some camera on the table.   The benefit was walking away with something significantly newer, which would  have more life left in it, and also be more eligible for repair by Canon, if needed.

Also, keep in mind, I am coming from a 2002/2003 first generation Canon EOS rebel 6.3 megapixel.  After discounts and a trade in lens, I paid $169 including tax, for the body and a Tamron 18mm-270mm lens with vibration control.   So I have less than $200 invested.

I am upgrading to some 1800 MAH batteries, so I should see more comparable shots per charge as related to the 60D.

I know the faster shutter speed and 5 fps burst was a   Compromise, but I hope to spend the next several weeks getting better at the manual photography, and I think I’ll be able to make up for it to some degree as I learn more about setting my own shutter speed And F -stops.

Any pointers to that extent that would be helpful.

Thank you all again!
