EOS 60D Highlights
18.0-megapixel CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4 Imaging Processor
The EOS 60D features a new, Canon-designed 18.0-megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor that captures such a high level of resolution, it's easy to crop images for enlargement without concern of losing detail. A major factor in reducing noise, the CMOS sensor assures that images shot at highest sensitivity will be remarkably smooth.
The improved DIGIC 4 Image Processor ensures that images are captured, processed and saved with remarkable speed. The EOS 60D DSLR's new 3:2 multiple aspect ratio, in-camera RAW image processing, creative filters, image resizing and provided S2 and S3 image-recording quality are all possible thanks to the DIGIC 4 Image Processor. With dazzling results, the new DIGIC 4 Image Processor also works to capture and process data of images shot at 18.0 megapixels at 5.3 fps, as well as 14-bit signal processing for excellent image gradation, enhanced Face Detection Live mode, Full HD video recording, Auto Lighting Optimizer and Lens Peripheral Optimization.
ISO 100-6400 (expandable to 12800) for shooting from bright to dim light
With a broad range of ISO settings, expandable up to 6400 in the Auto Setting and 12800 with Custom function, the EOS 60D enables shooting from sunrise to sunset and helps ensure capture of the finest detail. With enhanced high-sensitivity optimization, subjects can be captured clearly and easily at high shutter speeds without flash, with minimized blur and noise. In bright scenes, especially long exposures in daylight, optimal exposure can be achieved with a fully open wide-diameter lens, no dark filter needed.
Improved EOS HD Video mode with manual exposure control
Designed for the evolving, tech-savvy user, the EOS 60D features HD Video capture technologies--manual exposure control for more creative control, for example--borrowed directly from professional Canon DSLRs to capture stellar video with all the benefits of shooting with a DSLR. By shooting video with the EOS 60D, photographers as well as filmmakers can take advantage of the creative features native to DSLR cameras. Along with its manual controls, the EOS 60D allows for full use of Canon EF and EF-S lenses, including Macro and Fisheye, providing a plethora of shooting options once reserved only for still photography. Movie Crop function is included: An SD-quality video (640 x 480) can be cropped to the equivalent of about 7x magnification of regular shooting.
The audio input level can be set to Auto or Manual, up to 64 levels, and a wind filter minimizes unwanted background noise. By pressing the Quick Control button, a simple graphic user interface for adjusting image quality, white balance, image creation and other settings appears on the LCD.
Video can be captured at a number of resolutions and frame rates for numerous applications. It can capture 1920 x 1080 Full HD video at frame rates of 30 (29.97 fps), 24 (23.976 fps) and 25.0 frames per second, for up to 4GB per clip. Video footage is saved as MOV files and can be viewed in Full HD through the EOS 60D DSLR's HDMI output. Other recording sizes include HD at 1280 x 720 (50/60 fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (50/60 fps)--24/30 fps delivers cinema-like motion, while 60fps is perfect for footage being uploaded to video-sharing websites.
Vari-angle 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor
A first for any EOS, the EOS 60D features a bright, high resolution, flip-out Vari-angle 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor for shooting at a variety of angles. By easily switching between low and high angles, the EOS 60D freely enables angle adjustments even if the camera is mounted on a tripod or has a battery grip attached.
With 1,040,000 (dots/VGA) pixels for spectacular detail, the advanced, smudge-resistant monitor includes high transparency materials plus anti-reflective and water-repellant coatings to provide clear and bright viewing. Superb for reviewing, editing and deleting photos or composing new images in Live View function, the Vari-angle Clear View LCD monitor is also the perfect means for accessing camera settings like ISO, metering modes, AF Point selection, the horizontal Electronic Level and flash options.
5.3fps continuous shooting up to approx. 58 Large/JPEGs and 16 RAW
The EOS 60D operates with such effortless speed that operation is nothing short of intuitive. With a 0.1 second start-up time, speedy autofocus and minimal shutter lag, the EOS 60D is made to capture even rapidly-occurring scenes with stunning precision. Able to shoot up to 5.3 frames per second (fps), capturing a maximum burst of approximately 58 Large/JPEGs and 16 RAW, the EOS 60D DSLR lets you catch even the briefest of moments, whether it's a faced-paced soccer game or the flicker of a candle flame.
96% viewfinder coverage allowing you to see more of your image in the viewfinder
The EOS 60D features a phenomenally redesigned viewfinder that not only offers an improved 96% coverage, 0.95x magnification, a 27.0° angle of view and user-controlled dioptric adjustment, it also features a newly designed transparent LCD display that enables a number of viewfinder displays. A six-level battery check indicator has been added on the left, and the exposure level indicator scale has been expanded to up to three stops, with arrows indicating greater exposure levels.
Enhanced iFCL 63-zone, Dual-layer metering system; and 9-point AF system
The EOS 60D features a sophisticated, 63-zone Dual-layer sensor designed to complement the 9-point AF system. By taking into account the color and luminosity surrounding chosen AF points, this system delivers an advanced level of accuracy for better results even in difficult lighting situations. Since the metering sensor has a color measurement function, exposure errors and focus errors caused by different light sources are minimized; the EOS 60D gives stable exposure from shot to shot in situations where light changes, such as in a theater or concert hall. This makes the EOS 60D ideal for scenes with extreme difference in brightness such as brightly lit scenes or backlit scenes; the camera balances exposure of the main subject at the background, and exposures are not overly influenced by bright areas in the shot.
Since the EOS 60D provides high-speed X-sync ("X-sync" means the fastest shutter speed that can synchronize with a flash burst at the moment the shutter is fully released) up to 1/250 sec., the range of photographic expression is dramatically increased, allowing the EOS 60D to be used with confidence in bright scenes or dim.
The EOS 60D marks a highpoint in convenience for the photographer by being able to shoot an image as a RAW file and then process it entirely in-camera to produce a separate JPEG file without the need of an outside computer. The EOS 60D gives you 10 process variables--brightness adjustment, white balance, Picture Style, Auto Lighting Optimizer, noise reduction, JPEG image-recording quality, color space, lens peripheral illumination correction, distortion correction and chromatic aberrations correction--to create the image you envision, set to the 3:2 aspect ratio used in 35mm film.
Additionally, once you capture an image with the EOS 60D, you can digitally manipulate it in-camera with a number of creative filters for artistic and dramatic effect. Options include Soft Focus Effect to convey dreamy tableaus; Grainy Black-and-White Effect for a gritty, hard-bitten look; Toy Camera Effect--the deliberate vignetting and color shift technique popular in art photography--and Miniature Effect, which blurs the top and bottom edges of the image to emphasize perspective and conveys a miniaturized look of the scene.
Compatibility with SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards
The EOS 60D DSLR uses popular SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards. Compact, inexpensive and available in increasingly large capacities, SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards are a perfect complement to the EOS 60D DSLR's compact and lightweight body design.
Compatible with the full line of Canon EF and EF-S lenses
The EOS 60D is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF and EF-S lineup, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses. Special optical technologies, such as aspherical, ultra-low dispersion, or fluorite elements are featured in the universally acclaimed L-series lenses. And Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology is featured in select lenses to minimize the effect of camera shake. Additionally, photographers can use for video the same lenses they do for still photography; Canon wide-angle, macro, super-telephoto, tilt-shift and fisheye lenses provide a wealth of focal lengths, depth-of-field and other creative shooting options once reserved for stills.
Flash Photography
With a flash sync speed of 1/250 of a second, the EOS 60D also features the acclaimed E-TTL II flash metering system. With any of the flashes in the EX Speedlite line (sold separately), E-TTL II provides reliable flash output whether shooting fill-in flash pictures in sunlight, or using flash in total darkness. With E-TTL II, the exact same 35-zone metering sensor used for measuring ambient light is also used for flash metering--giving even finer metering command of the image area. If you prefer a broader area for flash metering, there's a menu setting to change to "Average" flash metering--where the entire 35-zone area is measured evenly for flash exposure. Additionally, the EOS 60D has a Speedlite transmitter built-in for convenient, full-featured wireless control of EX-series Speedlite flashes set as slave units.
Included Software
--Canon EOS Digital Solution Disk (Version 23.0) The EOS 60D comes bundled with an updated Canon EOS Digital Solution Disk, which features powerful software programs designed to extend the EOS experience to the computer.
--EOS Utility (Version 2.9.0) for Macintosh or Windows handles the connection between the camera and computer, whenever they're connected via USB.
--Digital Photo Professional (Version 3.9.1) is an image processing program that enables high-speed RAW image processing, high-speed previewing for real-time image adjustment and support for sRGB, Adobe RGB and Wide Gamut RGB color spaces.
--ZoomBrowser EX (Version 6.6.0) for Windows and ImageBrowser (Version 6.6.0) for Mac OS X are the easy, user-friendly options for viewing and editing of JPEG and even RAW image files.

My first camera was a Canon AE-1 i bought back in 79 and loved that camera growing up in high school and beyond. I recently have also purchased a couple Panasonic cameras as I think they have made great strides in the camera arena. I also have an FZ200 and a G5 which produce incredible IQ. I actually think it's on par with this 60D but i wanted a camera with a top of the line senser to get good IQ at high ISO's and this one is it. My G5 also does well but the Canon performs and feel s like a pro DSLR and it is. he IQ is incredible, lots of manual controls and the manual for this thing is great with lots of easy to follow instructions on how to work the camera. It also focuses very fast for action shots and i find the top window info screen very helpful for changing some settings in a snap. The thing is built like a tank. I got a great deal on Amazon for a Used like new for $770 with the 18-135 lens which is also fantastic so i couldn't refuse. The main things I have to have in a camera (which this one had) are:
- Great IQ
- Articulating LCD
- Viewfinder (hate taking photos looking at a screen.)
A lot of cameras out there don't have an articulating LCD for whatever reason, well i know a lot of manufacturers like to keep the size of the camera down so they fix the screen to the back of the camera with no movement. I find that having this option opens up more possible photos from differnet angles and creativity. It really closed down my options and made it easy to select a camera. I probably would have had the Nikon D7000 if the LCD moved off tha back of the camera. I see a lot of reviews on YouTube making fun or having many people dismiss the LCD but I don't quite understand why. If you don't like it turn it around and keep it open on the back then it's just like a fixed screen. It is also nice to close down the screen and face it towards the camera when closing to protect the screen. I wouldn't be able to use a fixed LCD when taking pictures of the moon or anything high in the sky at night using a tripod. Or.. if your in a crowded area and need to move the camera up or around someone to get a pic, or.. if you decide to take pics of the rich and famous you can put the camera at all sorts of angles and get that money shot of Brad Pitt tounguing Angelina and sell it for the price you paid for all your cameras.. :-)
Anyway a great camera and I am enjoying Canon once again!
*** Update January 15 **
Stll loving this camera and taking many shots with it. I have bought some lenses for it and have been using them for mostly action shots. I didn't get the L series lens becauee they are a bit too expensive for my budget but I did get the Canon ones which get great reviews for a mid grade type of lens. One lens everyone should have is the nifty 50 f1.8. I took some portrait shots with a softbox setup and holy cow the quality was amazing. The crispness and color rendition at f1.8 is flawless. I zoomed in all the way and had minimal noise if any at ISO 100. I mean if i had a cavity in my tooth i could see details on it, thankfully I don't :-)
Action shots at the local park of birds and ducks was excellent also. Very happy, auto focus is resposive and spot on most of the time outside of user focus errors. :-)
I got this Canon 60D camera and 18-200mm lens for $1280. This is the best deal you can get for a DSLR camera now if you want a sturdy, high quality body and don't want to pay too much.
The important parameters for me in a camera, besides picture quality were professional grade shutter that can handle faster frame rates and is mechanically stronger and a pentaprism. Pentaprism is a lot more clear and illuminated and has larger magnification than pentamiror.
The cheapest Nikon camera that is weather sealed and has professional grade shutter with 1/8000 sec and pentaprism is the Nikon D700 and the body alone costs more than $1200. Not to mention that a Nikon 18-200 lens costs ~$800. This means that a slightly better Nikon kit will cost more than $2000. This is not worth the difference.
This camera with this lens produces amazing pictures with great detail. the RAW quality is superb. If you are shooting RAW and into doing some post processing with Canon DPP software or with Lightroom 4 (like I do), you will get amazing results with this kit. The small disadvantages of the lens (like vingeting, CA and distortion) are easily fixed with RAW with both software options I mentioned and you can improve the picture immensely. The lens is sharp except for wide open at 18mm. at 24mm it becomes very sharp and portrait shots at 40-50mm are also sharp and excellent and have a very pleasant bokeh.
The camera itself and the functionality is way better than Nikon, obviously beating the cheaper D5100 and even better than the D7000 in my opinion. The Quick menu is very comfortable and the buttons and display are well placed.
The only fault of this camera is in Video: First, to shoot video, you need to rotate the top dial to video mode and it is a long turn from Av/Tv modes. Second, the focusing in live view changes the lighting on the screen. I don't mind pressing half shutter or the AF button during video to focus and not having full time auto focus but the fact that it changes the lighting and records it in the video is bothersome. To avoid it I am using Manual focus in video: this also disables the focusing motor sound which is an advantage once you get used to it. Also, once getting used to it, using MF in video is quite nice and can enable some artistic shots.
All together, this camera with this 18-200 lens (or even with the 18-135mm) is a great deal and a camera I will be using for many years without the need or want to replace.
