The 60d is the only canon that I own. I only use it hooked up to my scope.

Ehhh Canon what is up with those nasty gold “60Da” label? Keep it slick silver bros and upper case letters.

They used to make a 20Da for this purpose back when the 20D was the current EOS model at this price point.

Huh…really? I have a 60D but I always thought that the full frame cameras would be more suited to astrophotography due to higher light sensitivity. Astro-timelapse something I’d love to try out this summer when I have some more free time. The 60D is a great camera, but what makes it your choice over the 5Dmk2? Thanks

Yes. I have a 60D just for astrophotogarphy. Same with a few lenses that only come out at night. I regularly shoot a 5DmkII.

Very interesting but hard to justify buying a body just for the occasional vacations away from the city myself. Hope the rental houses get a few though and ultimately I’m glad that Canon is being innovative!

Well, if they only upgrade it every 6 years, then it’s most likely only for this specific little group of customers. I don’t think they’re meant to cause hype.

is there really much of a market for astrophotography?…is this camera really aim for only this type of photography?
