what would you sday ther maximum usable iso would be for this camera and also is it betterr to under exspose or over exspose photos?

Here's a good comparison site, but it doesn't have the 60D. You can choose the camera, ISO, and raw or JPEG.

I'd say ISO-2000 if you need to go there, try to stay at ISO-1600 or less to minimize your noise processing in post. Expose to the right with the model. To demonstrate the ETTR approach, the first two images in this discussion come from an EOS 7D that has the same 18MP APS-C sensor and DIGIC-4 processor as the 60D. These examples are ISO-3200, so you can clearly go higher with both shooting and post-processing technique. Shooting at high ISOs (ISO-3200)

I agree it's best to keep the 60D's ISO to 1600 or less, although depending on circumstances, I recall being able to capture a number of pretty clean images as high as ISO 3200. Any higher and things start to deteriorate fast.

If it means the difference between a picture or no picture, go as high as the camera allows. If shooting RAW, you can nearly always get something useable. It would be better to over expose as much as possible (ETTR) without burning out highlights. If you underexpose then bring up the values, you will introduce much more noise.

ok thanks....when you bring upp an underexsposed photo will that always create more noise

I never went higher than ISO 1600 with my 60D, but it can be pushed higher, if required.

As far as exposure, think of digital as shooting transparencies: you are best to underexpose. Many film photographers had trouble making the switch because they routinely OVEREXPOSED (some by as much as a full stop) film for best prints. I always rated my ASA 125 neg film at 100. Digital is different. If you overexpose, you have no data and cannot put it back. If the bride's wedding dress has a ton of lacework and you have overexposed it, well, there's no data in any area of a file that reads above 255...that's why you want your highlights to read in the range of 245. Same for shadows. A reading below 7 normally means you have no data. Hope that helps. And the previous commenter was correct with one note added: SERVERLY underexposed files will display noise.

I would rather overexpose by 2 stops than underexpose by 2 stops. I know that I can shoot in RAW with my Canon and safely overexpose 2 stops or more with no real risk of blowing highlights.

The 60-D is not one you push the ISO high on. Dont think I ever went over 1000 for anything. Now into
the Mark IV no problem. I admit however, another good one is 7d ll that I sometimes shoot sports higher and does a good job. Hard to beat my 5d iv...well worth the $$
