Hi Greg

I probably wont be able to give you a very detailed review, as I'm just starting out in AP and the 60Da is the first DSLR that I have owned. I cant really compare it to another DSLR camera, but I've got to say I'm impressed with mine.

Its versatility was a big factor for me (well, when comparing it to a CCD camera that is) To be able to use it for nightscapes , piggy backed on the scope and also through the scope was very appealing.

The flip out LCD screen is very handy, even when just using the camera on the camera tripod, saves the back and neck from getting too sore.

Daytime shots are good - when on auto setting some things turn out a little red/warm but switch it manual and use the custom WB and the images look fine.

One point I can definitely say and this probably applies to most of the EOS camera's, is that its strong . Mine fell of the tripod the other day at a height of 730mm onto the tiles and its fine. Mind you it took me a couple of hours to be fine afterwards.

I only have the one lens at the moment (borrowed from my sister) , Canon EF 75 - 300. I'm waiting for a Hyperstar lens to arrive and also a Tokina 11 - 16 lens.

Here's a pic of the Moon and Jupiter
