Canon EOS 60D DSLR: 18MP Stills, 1080p HD Video, Articulating Screen


Canon's new EOS 60D is the successor to the 50D. At $1,100 (body only), it's a mid-range camera placed between the entry level Rebel T2i ($900) and the high end Canon 7D ($1,700).

With a bundled 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens, the EOS 60D costs $1,400.

Some of the important features that the 60D shares with the T2i are:

  • An APS-C sized 18 MP sensor with a DIGIC 4 processor.
  • Supports for full HD 1080p H.264 video at 1920x1080 resolution, with selectable frame rates of 24p, 25p or 30p.
  • A Movie Crop feature for standard definition recording that provides an approximate 7x additional zoom with no loss of image quality. (In the Movie Crop mode the camera crops the image directly from the CMOS sensor to preserve maximum image quality).
  • A 100-6,400 ISO range that can be expanded to 12,800.

It surpasses the T2i with:

  • A more rugged body.
  • A 3-inch, 1.04-million-dot swivel screen.
  • It can shoot full resolution still images up to 5.3-frames per second (fps) , as against the 3.7 fps of the T2i.

Other important features include:

  • In-camera functionality for RAW image processing.
  • Creative filters.
  • Live View screen can display cropping lines for 1:1, 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratios in addition to the standard 3:2 ratio, making it easier to compose images.
  • In-camera movie editing feature, allowing users to shorten a video file by clipping segments from the beginning or the end, making transfer to the computer easier.
  • Like smartphones and compacts the might Canon DSLR defers to the social networking phenomenon by facilitating generation of lower resolution image copies for upload to social networking sites.
  • For the first time in a EOS system the EOS 60D feature a Multi-Control Dial, which places a Multi-Controller and Set button inside the Quick Control Dial. This new control layout streamlines camera navigation for vertical as well as horizontal shooting and enables a cleaner camera design.
  • A locking mode dial, which makes camera operation more secure by preventing inadvertent changes to the photographer's selected shooting mode.
  • Support for more than 60 Canon EF and EF-S lenses
