The good news is that Canon does have plenty of fast lenses to offer you.

To have a larger maximum aperture, the lens has to be bigger (wider) and use more glass to manufacture it which requires more expense and a bigger price tag for you. For more on aperture, see the post on Canon Aperture. When you're looking for a faster lens for low light shooting situations, it must have a larger maximum aperture. I am curious as to which of the several different 50mm lenses you use on your 60D. Thanks for asking about upgrading your lenses for your 60D. That made me think if I should invest in this camera anymore? I was shopping for one wide angle and one tele photo lens but all the good lens are crossing $1000. While I'm generally happy with the lens I have, I'm not very impressed with their low light performance.

I see there have been many new developments in the camera industry but it looks like Canon 60D is still considered a good beginner/intermediate camera. I have a Canon 60D with EF-S 18-135 and EF 50mm lens. I'm restarting my interest in photography after 5-7 years.
