The Canon EOS 60D is a digital single-lens reflex camera from Canon. It is part of the Canon EOS line of cameras and succeeds the EOS 50D. It was publicly announced on August 26, 2010.
Main new features in the two-digit Canon line include increased resolution and ISO range, an articulating screen (the first Canon DSLR to have one), full-HD video capabilities and in-camera post-processing functions for the images.
The 60D is offered as a body only or in a package with an EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens or EF-S 17-85 f/4-5.6 IS USM lens or EF-S 18-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS lens.
Changes from 50D
Compared to the EOS 50D the following changes:
- Resolution increase to 18.1 megapixels (50D has 15.1)
- Maximum Sensitivity increased to ISO 6400 (12800 as optional setting) (50D has max 3200 ISO)
- Video recording, with same controls as the 550D
- Manual control of audio recording (Same as newer firmware on 5D MkII)
- Articulating screen with a slightly higher resolution in 3:2 ratio (50D has 4:3)
- Lower maximum burst frame rate of 5.3 fps (50D maximum is 6.3 fps)
- SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot (50D uses CompactFlash)
- Smaller and lighter polycarbonate resin with glass fibre on aluminium chassis (50D has Magnesium alloy body)
- Wireless Speedlite control
- Lack of AF micro-adjustment feature (included in 50D)
- Redesign of controls – multi-controller has been relocated to center of quick control dial; top buttons of 60D control only one setting.
- Locking mode dial
- Electronic level that can be viewed in the viewfinder, rear LCD monitor, and top LCD panel
- LP-E6 battery, as used in the 5D MkII and 7D
- Lack of PC socket for Flash Synchronization
- External shutter release port changed from 'Canon N3' socket to 3/32"(2.5mm) TRS pin.
Digital Photography Review described the changes as representing the move from 'semi-pro'/'prosumer' to 'enthusiast' [2] due to the reduction in some features; however the pentaprism viewfinder and iconic rear control wheel remain, as does the top informational LCD. The slightly smaller body retains the grip of the two-digit Canon line.[citation needed]
