Pick a Canon Digital Camera for Life – Canon 550D 600D 60D 7D 5D MkII 1D MkIV 1Ds MkIII
artoftheimage.blogspot.com - We did a video on picking a Nikon DSLR for the rest of your life, so of course we need to do the Canon side. So, if you had to pick a Canon DSLR to last you the rest of your life, what would it be? The Canon 550D, the Canon 600D, the Canon 7D the Canon 5D MkII, the Canon 1D MkIV, or the Canon 1DS MkIII?

Would pick the 60d, reasons:
1. Good size, not to big or small,
2. Good built quality,
3. Articulating Screen,
4. Reasonably priced.

Then why did you pick the 60D over the 7D? You make no sense at all.

600D, couse is light , variable screen, not to expensive , discreet.

Never had a dslr camera before, have used my sister and brother in-law’s camera, which is 400d and 50d(i think) and i so love taking pictures. still loving so much the 60D coz it’s new, swivelling camera and the system…but I’m having a crush on the 7d. yikes! hehehe.. need to do more research. =)

@TechFreak60 – Plugged a lavalier into the Zoom H2 as the kids were making a lot of noise in the background.

For stills I agree the 7D is a great choice. Though, if the camera is mainly going to be used for video then I would recommend the T2i, 60D and Canon 5D Mark ii.

I love my 1D Mark IV. I’ll be keeping it for a long Time.

right now I am using my 550D as I am still a student..probably be buying a 5D Mark III when I am older with income…or probably by that time, 5D Mark IV already.. For now.. Investing on external flashes and lenses first before getting a bigger and better body.. lenses are important in my situation now.. GREAT VIDEO still!

The 7d is great, but I love Full frame so I would take the 5d markII over it. Yes a little bit slower focus, but with better IQ I’ll take it.

I will choose 60D and invest more on lenses.
*60D is great for making videos in YouTube too

Canon 1DS MkIII: I’d choose a pro.

What happen to your mic?
February 27th, 2011 - 08:17
in the previous vid i said i’d pick a 5D MkII because of full frame, and image quality but then you’ve got a point with the autofocus is quite dated and the 7D trumps it.

@MattAndi agreed

life changes.. what I need in a camera now might not be what I need later in life. silly question, imo.
February 27th, 2011 - 09:28
I agree with you …7D is amazing fast and solid camera
I can’t stop shooting and playing with it …it’s a great camera.

Mine is the 60D Because of that outstanding Screen!!! and the video settings with like manual mick control seeing as that i do a little more filming than proper photograhy.
but if the screen on the 60D wasnt made i would choose the 7D aswell..

I can’t decide decide in the Canon brands.. but of all, D3s no brainer
