Canon EOS 60D review

Canon's robust enthusiast targeted EOS 60D is a more consumer-friendly version of the 50D it replaces. It slots into the current range between the Canon EOS 550D, of interest to those stepping up from a compact, and the semi-professional Canon EOS 7D.

Canon EOS 60D review

Replacing the popular Canon EOS 50D, Canon's latest 60D has a whole lot to live up to. Reviving the vari-angle screen for DSLRs of this level seems to be a significant focus point, not least that none of the competition at this price-point offer such a...

Image quality, vari-angle LCD

Limited updates over 50D, not a tough build

The “lovechild” of the 550D and 7D, the Canon EOS 60D pitches itself well between these two models. Despite one or two small design “update” issues, the inclusion of a vari-angle screen at this level will be its ultimate sell-point. Add great picture...

Canon EOS 60D with 18-135mm lens review

It's not easy following the trajectories of Canon and Nikon's SLR product lines. As Nikon replaces its superb but aging D90 with the considerably more upmarket Nikon D7000, the Canon 60D is in many ways a downgrade to the 50D it replaces. It's encased...

Superior ergonomics – particularly the bigger viewfinder and articulated screen – make this a shrewd choice for Canon upgraders willing to look beyond the 550D.

Canon EOS 60D Review

A mid-range DSLR that gets a gold star for both video and stills

The Canon 60D is a DSLR camera aimed at the serious amateur. Not quite ready to part with the funds to net Canon’s 7D or 5D MkII? This, says the manufacturer, is the camera for you: a ruggedly built,

Canon EOS 60D review

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.

Packs in just about every feature the keen amateur could want in a dSLR ; Robust build quality ; Swivel-and-tilt LCD screen aids low- and high-angle shooting ; Can record 1080p video

Expensive ; Bulky and weighty

The Canon EOS 60D is a pumped-up powerhouse of a digital SLR. It's crammed full of class-leading but consumer-friendly features (we've only been able to touch on them here), and it may be the only camera that an amateur photography enthusiast will ever...

Canon EOS 60D review

The Canon EOS 60D digital SLR camera is fast, performs well in the dark, takes crisp and vibrant pictures, and it offers plenty of physical improvements over the 50D.

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...

Canon unveils the EOS 60Da

The EOS 60Da is ideal for shooting astronomical phenomena such as diffuse nebulae – a favourite among astrophotographers due to the distinct red colour caused by the ionisation of hydrogen. In a standard DSLR, an infrared (IR) filter limits the amount...

As part of the EOS System the EOS 60Da is also compatible with the world’s most comprehensive selection of interchangeable lenses, ranging from the 8mm to 800mm.

Review Canon EOS 60D

For this review we tested the Canon 60D: the latest member of the EOS 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D and 50D family. It doesn't take much phantasy to imagine a Canon 70D emerging in the near future. With the X0D series Canon aims at both advanced and beginning...

Canon EOS 60D DSLR

Review In designing the much-anticipated EOS 60D, Canon decided against a simple upgrade of the previous model, the EOS 50D [1]. Instead, the company opted for a redefinition of its range to create a middle ground between the semi-pro EOS 7D [2] and...

Although not particularly innovative – mostly borrowing features from other EOS models – the EOS 60D nicely fits the market section between beginner and semi-pro DSLR models. With virtually the same image quality of the EOS 7D plus a swivel LCD screen,...
