The new Canon EOS 60D DSLR camera
Canon's wide range of products are a perfect blend of latest technology and reasonable cost. Each and every customers wishes to buy a camera product that is advanced in technologies and is available at reasonable price. Canon perfectly caters the demands of its customers.
For the very first time on an EOS camera, the Canon 60D DSLR boasts a three-inch Vari-Angle Clear View LCD screen, EOS Full HD video recording with manual overrides including audio level control, and in-camera functionality for RAW image processing plus Creative Filters to manipulate images after taking them.
Following a longer wait than normal, Canon introduced the EOS 60D to a marketplace keen for its arrival. It arrived into a globe exactly where digital SLRs could be seen gracing the neck of everyone who's ever thought of becoming a photographer, so it wasn't surprising that Canon seemed to have rethought its entry-level prosumer digital SLR. The style of the Canon 60D is slightly smaller, and more specifically aimed at the advanced amateur market, much better fitting into the niche occupied by the Nikon D90 and now the D7000, while the Canon 7D remains a much better match for the Nikon D300S, as each are cameras aimed more toward those making money with their photographs. The redesign still mostly adds and improves features, like the 18-megapixel sensor, Full HD Movie mode, and Vari-angle LCD, but there is at least one feature deletion that's a little frustrating, which we'll get to shortly.
The upgrade to an 18-megapixel sensor brings the Canon EOS 60D up to date with the Rebel T2i and the 7D, and splits the difference in between the two in frame rate, with the T2i shooting three.7 fps, and the 7D ripping via 8 fps, whilst the Canon 60D can shoot at five.3 frames per second. That is down from the 50D's 6.three frames per second, among the first downgrades on the list.
A major improvement will be the addition of a 1.04-million pixel, 3-inch Vari-angle LCD screen on the Canon 60D, opening up more unique composition possibilities to the class of shooter that Canon is seeking with this new style.
Though it's the sixth EOS SLR to support HD video capture, the Canon 60D is the initial of its class to do so. Resolutions include 1,920 x 1,080p, 1280 x 720, and 640 x 480, saved in H.264 compression with linear PCM audio. Frame rates consist of 30, 25, and 24 fps for Full HD, and 60 fps and 50 fps for HD and VGA.
A great many of the Canon 60D's controls have been pared down, and most buttons no longer have a dual purpose depending on the mode. Even the four leading buttons that used to control two functions via the main dial and the rear Quick Control dial are now dedicated to just one function per button. In this sense, the Canon 60D is more like a large Rebel with an LCD status display on the leading deck than an evolution of the xxD line. Another, more welcome change integrates the 8-way joystick with the Quick Control dial. The major unfortunate omission to our minds is the Lens AF Microadjustment Custom Function, a firmware feature that anyone who cares about sharp images will want in their semi-pro camera. It is an additional example of how the Canon 60D is now aimed in the advanced amateur, not the semi-pro market.
Lastly, you can use the Canon 60D's built-in flash to wirelessly remote control other Canon wireless EX flashes.
