Ever since the introduction of Canon's EOS 10D in 2003, their twin digit named digital SLRs have proved a popular choice for photographers after more than the entry level bodies offer, but without the extortionate expense of Canon's top-line professional bodies.

Swivel screen for live view shooting; Decent ISO performance; Simplified controls; Excellent handing; Superb video quality; Battery life; Wireless flash facility

Auto ISO could offer more parameters; Shutter lag during live view shooting

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

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

Now I have used if for well over a year, and they may soon replace it, I thought it a good time to write a review.I write technical manuals for a living. I spend a lot of my time wriggling around inside machines, taking pictures.

Control Layout; Easy To Use; Flip Round Screen

Big 00d; Exposed LCD

Great camera, best value for money, 8/10

Nice size; screen and layout

The menu

I bought this to supplement my Powershot A480, which has good color, but is only tiny. The 60D fits like a glove and is comfortable to use. I cheaped out and bought the kit lens 18-55 IS - the 50mm prime f1.8 showed just how poor this is.

Great Photography Tool

Way Complicated

Poor Auto White balance performance indoors under tungsten lighting; slow focusing in Live View; clumsy access to Movie mode

Such a beauty this is!! All thanks to Naaptol because the day I ordered this product I got it within 5 days, and the packing and everything is perfect.

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...

Announced in late August 2010 as the replacement for the 50D and "designed primarily for advanced amateurs," the Canon EOS 60D DSLR offers a modest resolution increase to 18 megapixels over the old camera's 15.1 as well as a 1080 HD video capability where none existed before.

Swiveling monitor; Excellent image and color quality; Excellent high ISO noise performance for a cropped sensor; Good video image quality

Slow AF acquisition time in video and Live View; No continuous AF in video mode; Awkward mode dial
