Which Canon body to buy? Moving on from 60D

gonelgo2 — Tue, 03 Jun 2025 11:05:54 GMT

I used to shoot a lot of short films, promo videos for local businesses and music videos many years ago on the 60D, however I went to use my camera not long ago and the body has given up the ghost. Time for an upgrade as I want to get back into it! I have all the lenses, a flashgun, and other bits of equipment such a glide track and lighting, so I've have been looking at getting a new camera body but feeling very out of the loop with what is the best to get now.

Greetings,

Can you please provide a budget, or amount you are comfortable spending on a new body.

What lenses do you want now? Are they all APS-C or do you own any full-frame lenses? The 60D was released 15 years ago, so it's possible that some of the lenses you own may not be 100% compatible with Canons newest R series bodies. An older flash, if not Canon brand may not be compatible either. Please tell us more about the gear you own now and what you hope to move forward with. This information will help us make better recommendations.

I'm very pleased that my ancient EF 28-135 IS zoom still works via RF converter. It's been with me since 1998 and it's such a versatile lens.
