Canon's latest DSLR features more than just a new sensor. An articulated screen and significant changes to the handling could make the Canon EOS 60D the best-ever enthusiast DSLR.

The Canon EOS 60D is the perfect entry level Digital-SLR (Single-lens reflex) camera that offers both the home and amateur photographer the capabilities needed to produce some amazing shots.

The Canon EOS 60D is a mid-range DSLR featuring 18 Megapixels, HD video and a fully-articulated screen. Announced in August 2010, it's the official replacement for the EOS 50D, but Canon's repositioned the new model from the semi-pro status of its predecessor into a new mid-range category for the...

High resolution 18 Megapixel stills; Flexible HD movies with mic input and audio levels; Articulated screen with superb 3:2 panel; 5.3fps continuous shooting and fast AF

No continuous AF while filming video; Rocker control difficult to use; A step down from the 50D in semi-pro respects; Outclassed in some respects by D7000

I sold my Mark II and bought the 60D when it came out to be able to purchase nicer glass. I purchased the 24-105 and it works perfectly with the 60D. I love the live features to be able to get the perfect lighting before shooting a scene.

good battery life; quiet; Nice features/settings; Quick Start-up time; excellent image quality; Bright LCD; Solid Operation; Lightweight/Portable; Simple controls/menu; easy to use

medium build quality

A DSLR camera for photo enthusiasts who also want to be able to record Full HD video clips.Replacing the popular EOS 50D, Canon's new EOS 60D sits between the EOS 550D and EOS 7D and appears to have the same sensor as its 'siblings'.

You want a capable DSLR camera with a 1.6x crop factor sensor and the ability to use a wide range of lenses; You'd enjoy the Creative Filter effects; You'd like the ability to shoot both still pictures and HD video clips with the same camera and would appreciate the jack for fitting a stereo

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 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 .

I'd you want a semi professional camera that's takes great photos, look no further.

For a while now, I've had a feeling that the megapixel (MP) counts of digital cameras were headed straight down. I assumed that manufacturers would see sense and offer lower resolution sensors with better high-ISO performance, instead of pushing for more pixels.

High-resolution sensor; Good high-ISO performance; Marvellous image quality; Vari-angle LCD

Minor ergonomic issues; Kit lens doesn't look as good as the camera

The 60D has been launched into a market that has changed drastically since the arrival of its previous incarnation, in part due to the introduction of the EOS 7D. For this reason the 60D does seem more consumer-led than previous models and is designed more for ease and simplicity to allow it to fill...
