Hi

Looking for help from fellow hogs whom have experience with the Cannon product line, and in particular older used models. This is for my daughter. I am a Nikon shooter and am not well versed in “Cannon”

After taking a year long photography/videography course at school, she would like to continue to work on her craft(s). Both “modes” are important for her. In both, she is more focused on people/actors and some indoor and some outdoor. No sports, no landscapes, no birding. Maybe a bit of macro (eg-jewelry for sale on poshmark) and streetscapes, but that’s about it. 100% shared via social media, etc. Never prints, so I am not sure ultra high MP is needed.

She used in the class, and is comfortable with, the EOS 60D from Cannon. She has also tried a Cannon 40D and my Nikon D7200. Neither she liked as much.

So, thinking about the 60D for a Christmas present and would like opinions from those who know the Cannon line and older used models. Was hopeful that, if you all confirm the 60D is reasonable (OK, not a horrible..) choice, I can find one on the used market as people upgrade to mirrorless and look to unload their old equipment.

Two final notes.
A) She is 17, which means her focus (pun intended) can shift month to month. Therefore, I don’t want to go towards a brand new Camera or mirrorless (sorry Paul) as who knows what she will be into two years from now. If she continues and finds herself limited by equipment at that point, we can upgrade then.
B) One reason she is looking at the Cannon line is we have two inherited cannon lens from Grandma: a 28-135 and a 70-300. Is still need to understand compatibility, but if they are, this means just a 60D body would be needed.

All thoughts welcome. If there is another model other than the 60D you would recommend, please explain what features you think would make it better for her use.

Thank you in advance

Hello
There are performance settings in preferences I stumbled across that increased the speed of ON1.
The browsing preview redraws are now almost instantaneous. Processing is noticeably faster as well.
If you have a high end GPU I would suggest doing this.
Go to Edit, then preferences.
Click on the System Tab.
You will see the video card strength performance slider set to half.
Move the slider all the way up.

There are a couple of other things you can do as well.
Move the cache to your fastest drive. Also click on Empty cache.
Clearing cache is always a good thing to do now and then.
Click Ok
I was pleasantly surprised with the instant Upgrade :)
Good Luck
Jim
