Purchased the EOS 60D with 18-135 lens kit based on so many good comments. What a mistake! On the first day of test using fully automatic setting, I noticed
gradual distortion between 28 mm to 18 mm at ISO 100 to 400. Noticeble distortion begin to appear near the center focus at 28 mm and worsens when widening to 18mm.
I did a quick seach on the web for 60D distortion, CNET has a review reporting same issue with unkind comments:
[...]
The reviewer used a statue which for an untrained eye is very difficult to
recognize and appreciate the distortion. In my case, I used vertical blinds as test object.
At ISO less than 400, a $1200 DSLR should be prefect in every shot. A $1200 DSLR has near center distortion is completely unacceptable!
The EOS utility 2.10.2.0 is useless when used with Windows 7 pro. I have to take my old XP out of garage attic to get the photos off the new 60D and play with its remote features.
60D takes great looking picures, but are they truthful? No metter how good, how expensive the construction feels; a camera's top priority is taking realistic photos. PERIOD.
