First let me tell you what I'm camera UN-boxing. I have a Canon EOS 60D Digital Camera with Canon EF-S 18-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS lens. This deluxe kit is a kit from Canon, which also includes an extra battery, HDMI cable and hood. Deluxe add-ons are about $ 110.00 value if purchased separately.
camera comes with all its parts and pieces in a nice box, overwrap. It is a regular camera and lens frame plus bonus pieces individually packaged, but loose in the box. HDMI cable is thick and the feeling is labeled as "Belkin". EW-73b hood and extra LP-E6 batteries are in Canon's standard packaging.
first thing in the camera's box is 2 pounds a package of multi-language books. Then we have a warranty card and Canon's software suite. Do not ignore the software! Keep it on hand, but put it aside for a moment.
Under the flap inside the box we found the camera body, lenses, and many parts and pieces to camera work. The first thing I always do is dig out the battery and charger to be plugged in and charging. Having done that it's time to empty the rest of the frame.
pack Canon USB cable and AV cable with the EOS 60D camera. USB cable is just a little bit handy, but the AV cable is now going into my camera bag. Today's cameras capture such huge files downloading from your camera to your computer via USB just seems to be too long for me. I hardly ever camera USB cable in my bag, but I always USB memory card reader. AV cable is my favorite accessories. It is also the most overlooked bit hardware by many photographers.
I always wear the AV cable, so you can view your photos anywhere. No matter where you go the chances that the TV is near. S AV cable I can always show my pictures (and now films), even if I do not have a laptop with me. And if the option presents itself would not you rather an overview of the HDTV picture, not the puny little laptop monitor?
Next up is the camera body. Canon EOS 60D is in an odd position in the hierarchy of Canon camera. It replaced the older EOS 50D, in some way and others it is the Rebel series camera on steroids. I was expecting to find that the body was plastic feel, and maybe even a little scratchy as some rebels. I was pleasantly surprised to find the body are tight feeling in your hand and weighted just right for balance.
Canon EF-S 18-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS lens is also convincingly tough. I do not mean to imply that it is too difficult, it does not. But it feels much larger than the rebels 18-55mm kit lens, not just weight, but considering the fit and finish too. I'd put it on par with the former 28-135mm kit lens old 50D. However, the length of the 18mm wide angle is much more suitable for digital SLR from a 28mm lens the length of the former.
Before mounting the lens I attach the neck strap. Once the neck strap on the camera is as important as seat belts for the car. neck strap can mean the difference between full drop and only ding on the lens.
battery is still full so that there is now a good time to install the Canon software. In particular I found that the 'Digital Photo Professional, "PhotoStitch"and "Picture Style Editor" are programs installed on my computer.
It took almost two hours, but the battery is fully charged and it is time to start getting used to new camera. In all I think that the Canon EOS 60D is a good frame of fully utilized. components are generally useful in a box with a little hair, and nothing is missing. But here it is worth noting that the EOS 60D regular clothes do not come with an HDMI cable, just not this particular kit. Get a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable on the same day buying the camera. You're going to want to!
