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 represents the middle of Canon's SLR lineup, but it is a top-notch camera in terms of performance, handling and flexibility. There are a lot of upgrades from the 50D, including a significant bump in resolution and a completely revamp...
The new 60D represents something of a rethink on Canon's part, now more clearly positioned as a prosumer SLR camera that sits halfway between the cheaper, more consumer-focused 550D / Rebel T2i and the more expensive, semi-pro 7D. Current 50D owners l...
High resolution 18 Megapixel stills, Flexible HD movies with mic input and audio levels, Articulated screen with superb 3:2 panel, 5.3fps continuous shooting and fast AF.
No continuous AF while filming video, Rocker control difficult to use, Limited options for in-camera RAW processing, Outclassed in traditional respects by D7000.
There's two ways of looking at the EOS 60D. First is as Canon's new mid-range DSLR, in which case it sits perfectly between the existing EOS 550D / T2i and EOS 7D. It offers a number of benefits to differentiate itself from entry-level models without ...
Abstract: The EOS 50D was getting a little long in the tooth since it didn't have any video capability and that's a sine qua non for any new DSLR these days. The new D60 sits comfortably between the EOS 7D at the high end and the EOS digital Rebel T2i at the...
Abstract: Canon unveiled its newest digital SLR this morning, the 18-megapixel EOS 60D which boasts a full 1080p HD video recording mode and a 3-inch swiveling LCD screen. The 60D is a replacement for the 15.1MP Canon EOS 50D, a prosumer digital SLR that receiv...
Excellent image quality up to ISO settings unthinkable just one camera generation ago, Extremely high detail and resolution at base ISO, good per-pixel sharpness, Very good low-light performance, with low noise levels and good retention of detail, Good ergonomics, well shaped and comfortable hand grip, Customizable user interface, In-camera raw conversion options and Creative Filters give easy
Slow AF in Live Mode reduces benefit of articulated screen for stills shooting, White balance often excessively orange under artificial light, Slight tendency to overexpose in contrasty conditions, Post-processing options oddly arranged (and don't provide access to the Ambience options), Plastic construction not as reassuring as its metal-bodied peers,
The announcement of the 60D caused a great deal of consternation, particularly amongst existing owners of the X0D series cameras. The slot in the market previously occupied by the 50D is now split between the 7D and the 60D, and the newer model is muc...
There is so much more to say about this camera and its impressive number of features and functionalities, but I would rather advise you to go and check out other reviews made by professionals who are making a living with their photography… Like usual...
