  great deal if you want to upgrade your Canon and don't need lenses.

  
  
  Yes, I gave up using lenses on my camera a while ago. Never looked back, or anywhere else for that matter. Dust getting on the sensor is a problem though.

  It's rude to shout.
  This is the 60D not 600.
  It is not a terrible price, normally £750+ from UK (not grey import) dealers.

  If you have a £600 budget and want a really good Canon body, forget these cropped sensor models and buy a good second hand 5D. The 5D's full frame sensor is amazing as is the quantum leap in image quality. I got mine from LCE for £600 and it came with a 6 month warranty. Okay, it's not brand new like this 60D, but it's the best £600 you could spend on Canon bodies :)
  
  Meanwhile am voting this hot as the deal itself is good, despite the cropped sensor.

  This is a great price but not a fan of the 60d.
  
  might aswell get the 600d. Barely any difference. If you plan on buying a lens for this you might aswell look at the 7d http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Canon-EOS-7D-Digital-SLR-Camera-18-135-EF-S-Lens-Refurbished-WARRANTY-/390410302556?pt=UK_CamerasPhoto_DigitalCameras_DigitalCameras_JN&hash=item5ae644745c.
  
  60d is plastic body, same sensor as the 600d and lacks some of the video features such as the digital zoom allowing you to zoom 10 times retaining the 1080p quality.
  
  550d/600d or go for the 7d. 60d is a weak stop gap i feel.

  As an owner of the 60D (having upgraded from the 550D), I'd certainly agree that there's some merit to your argument. However, don't overlook other features such as the 9 cross-type AF points, and the much brighter pentaprism viewfinder (it's really helped with some of the macro shots when I can't use live view).
  There's also a nicer increase in FPS, the wheel to change aperture which speeds things up a little when shooting manual, and I believe the polycarbonate shell is sturdier than that of the 550D at least. But I do understand that not all of these things are important to everyone. I was in the fortunate position of not having to spend much at all to upgrade, but can appreciate why one might be satisfied with their 600D, or spend extra for the 7D. It *is* a stop-gap between the two at the end of the day, and it's finally coming down to a price that I think more should at least consider it.

  This is a quality deal. I managed to pick up a 60D for £580 when BestBuy folded and sold my 600D on here. For me the bigger body, FPS, viewfinder and battery capacity sold me. Well worth considering at this price.

  Received mine and it was rubbish quality not what I expect from a manufacturer refurb, the black rubber covering was all peeling off and it had a bash on the side. I am sending it back :(. I got one for my son at Christmas refurbed and it was in perfect condition.
