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

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 Canon EOS 50D .

There is no point saying "I like Canon or I like Nikon". Facual reviews are always better. I am trying to list down few of them - I am sure there are more. If personal comfort (like holding the camera or looking at the label "Canon" or "Nikon" makes you happy), then this review is not for you...

It's only natural to view the Canon 60D as a replacement for the semi-pro EOS 50D .

Pivoting LCD; In camera editing; Wireless flash control; Good image quality; Good video quality; Solid feeling build

Use of plastic on body; Price; Some fiddly controls

The Canon EOS 60D is not simply a direct replacement for the 50D with a few extra features. Instead it represents a new category of Canon DSLRs designed to precisely fill the gap between the consumer level EOS 550D / Rebel T2i and the semi-pro EOS 7D.

At Rs. 77,195 with a basic kit lens thrown in, the EOS 60D is expensive, considering the EOS 550D will give you close to the same results at a much lower price. The 7D is also only slightly more expensive, and we see many opting for the more professional body and definitely superior build and...

Great image quality from a proven sensor; Very good low light performance; ISO 800 is usable; Good battery life

7D still has a slight edge in low light and a bigger one in focussing; Build quality no where near 7D levels; Pricing is on the higher side; Ergonomics are mediocre
