I've done my research and compared to many other camera and the 60d is my best price range and qualities that I would love to get. My only concern is if there is any fault/breakable or diffucult to use things that may pop up on other users cameras that I may need to worry about. I will most likely be getting a 55-250mm along with the body. Any thoughts and imputs?

Camera is a really good one. I had one. Only got rid of it because I didn't really need it. Many guys on here have one. Why the 55-200 lens? Something wider would be more useful, I'd think

The swivel screen is a godsend; other than that, I don't like the camera very much. I've used it extensively and the button lay-out doesn't make much sense.
If I were you I'd get a T3i.

You want a camera with a button layout that doesn't make much sense? get a T3i...

60D has a way better button layout. Besides the price, one of the reasons I could justify going to a t2i over the 60D (and making money in the trade that I put towards a 5Dc) was because I use vintage lenses almost exclusively for video, and that's all I tended to use the 60D for, so it didn't make much sense to have it. If I used Autofocus glass, I might have stuck with it because it's way easier to work exposure with (having both wheels on-board, as well as top LCD for exposure during still photography), but alas, I deemed it entirely unnecessary once I gained access to a 5D for stills..

Also, as cool as the flip screen is, I use a viewfinder far more often, so it wasn't a big deal to lose it...
