I was simply going off what someone else said as far as putting it down as a full frame.

I wasnt trying to give a "reasoning" as to why to go full frame... I was just trying to explain to him what it was.

I personally use a 7D, I love the crop censors.

My 7D had a few features that I miss since switching to a 5D MkII, but the benefits of the larger sensor and full frame work better for the kind of pictures I've been taking.

Canon 60D

- 5.3 fps shooting
- 1080 HD video
- * 3" movable LCD NON-touchscreen
- 9 autofocus points
- full frame ... Easiest way to describe this is... if you use a 100mm lens on this camera, you will be able to see more of an area then you would if you used a 100mm lens on a NON full frame camera. If this camera and a NON full frame took the same pic with the same lens, the NON full frame pic would look cropped in comparison to this full frame.

Are you sure about that?
A sensor labelled APS-C on a Canon typically means a 1.6 crop.

Yup you're right. I though it said 6D at first

That 6D has some cool features for someone looking to get into an entry level full frame body

Full-frame also, to me, is less noisy than a crop sensor. But who am I to say? I have the D7000 and I adore it. I'm a Nikon user and I usually tell beginners that the D5X00 is a great place to start, with plenty of good glass to support. You can definitely grow and kick on from it, or if you're just dabbling it's a good day-to-day camera that won't be overly cumbersome or difficult to get to settings you need.

i went back and underlined the main features of each that stand out against the rest.

the full frame is def. desired by some people
the touchscreen is pretty sweet, and a good price for that camera
the 24.2 MP is awesome, and wifi is just very convenient.

My thoughts. Canon Rebel T5i. Rebels always get awesome reviews for beginners. The difference in price from it and the Canon 60D is +/- $300. Take that money and go buy another lens for it. For example this lens. The canon 40mm f2.8. While it does NOT zoom, its going to be very sharp and five you a very nice blurry background!

Doing that ^ gives you the Rebel T5i, 2 lens ( 1 zoom lens and one really sharp lens ) at the same price of the canon 60D with just one standard zoom lens.

60D = crop body, 6D = full frame.

Agree with the noise on full fame vs crop as well.

Oops. Thanks for clarifying. I was thinking of the 6D instead of the 60D

Heres a few I took of my BBS hex caps and spiked hardware that are on the Eclipse. 24k gold plated, done by Spin Fab.

Thanks for the info guys.

I'm just getting one to play around with. I've decided on the T5i since, like mentioned, Rebel series are good for beginners and I can always just upgrade the lens in the future if needed.

I have been happy with my t3i. They are good cameras to learn on and practice your skills. I recommend the 50mm 1.8 lens. for $100 it's amazing.

Nothing wrong starting out with a rebel. If anything else. Invest in lens. A faster lens will get you really far and that bokeh oh so gravy!

Did a minishoot with a friend. Shot with 70-200. My 50 mm died. Such a good lens to have.

I know its not a Z but a picture nonetheless. Trying out different color tones on each pics.

#2 looks awesome, harsh reflections though break up the lines of the car. also, the color balance looks a little off but I can't tell if it's intentional or not...?
