Where the Canon EOS 50D – the 60D's ancestor – features a magnesium casing
The EOS 60D is constructed from plastic. It's still tough enough for daily use
But it's a shame that quality has been cut slightly.
Limited updates over 50D
Not a tough build
Autofocus not reliable enough via optical viewfinder
Autofocus slow with onscreen viewfinder
Some nice design features lost (mini thumbstick
On/off button moved etc.)
Builtin microphone records mono sound
Use of plastic on body
Price
Some fiddly controls
Expensive
Bulky and weighty
Ugly ear pads
Dubious wireless dongle design
A little chunky
Wireless LS30s retail for almost half the price
Pricey
8way control button feels terrible and doesn’t always respond

The LucidSound LS40s, in terms of sound quality, are absolutely top rate and match or exceed every other gaming headset on the market. The volumetric DTS Headphone:X sound space is fantastic and genuinely adds a level of immersion that you just don't get...
The “lovechild” of the 550D and 7D, the Canon EOS 60D pitches itself well between these two models. Despite one or two small design “update” issues, the inclusion of a vari-angle screen at this level will be its ultimate sell-point. Add great picture q...
