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 Canon EOS 60D is an excellent mid-range camera, sitting in between the Canon EOS 550D and the EOS 7D. If you're looking to step up from an entry-level DSLR, it's well worth a look. Best offers for the Canon EOS 60DEquipmentExpress £999.99 Amazon UK...

The Canon EOS 60D is a pumped-up powerhouse of a digital SLR. It's crammed full of class-leading but consumer-friendly features that could make it the only camera an amateur photography enthusiast will ever need....
The Canon EOS 60D offers vast improvements over the EOS 50D. Not only does it produce bigger images, it also has a more contoured body and plenty of new great features, such as the hinged screen. It's a camera that just makes you want to go out and ta...
All things considered, the Canon 7D seems to have stolen the Canon 60D's thunder as a sophisticated successor to the Canon 50D. The Canon 60D itself feels more like a camera designed to bridge the gap between the relatively simple EOS 550D and the more...

I am very impressed with the Canon EOS 60D, not least by the new handling. It seems that having to move some of the buttons due to the vari-angle screen has given Canon the opportunity to revisit the handling of the camera. The results is a camera that...
It would be easy to dismiss the EOS 60D as an EOS 550D with an articulated LCD screen, but it has quite a few additional refinements that make it a more complete tool for enthusiast photographers. It is disappointing that the level only works in one or...
