Canon 60D review on the basis of production. Canon 60d series throughout his life, many photographers, semi-pro appealed to appreciate that some experts and enthusiasts have a choice lightly. Each model series is a high specification and its desire to ensure access, both from users who are growing out Rebel/XX0D (usually in terms of build quality and sophisticated AF) provides and. However, the feature set, the model always "pro" leaves a considerable gap in full-fledged business.
To change much from where the arrival of EOS 7D and 8 frames per function shooting and the second AF frame 19 can be highly configurable - Mini '1 attention of many people become before now D ', there x0d customers. However, the price (a premium of 30% release of 50D) from your photos, at least a little money, he pushes out of the reach of most people do not.
Rebellion T2i underpowered compared to the EOS 7D (EOS 550D), compared to the expensive (and somewhat old): 50D is (according to the band x0d and extension) will start seeing some more. Seems clear that something needed to compensate for the area to fill a big gap between the rebels and 7D Canon EOS. And we, the EOS 60D, it has.
X0d boldness and the Canon 60D, help photographers focused on trying to upgrade from rebel lovers instead of "pro-associate" has been moved out of range. 50D naming pattern could suggest - - resulting 40D, there are more distinct 30D. Instead, it is "Elan" SLR Series 35mm film (upon a time for - A - busy time is often exactly the same place on the market that is not happen to be a two-digit number that in Europe model sitting).
I replaced the plastic shell of lightweight magnesium alloy construction, is shown in the previous model is finished. The main advantage of including some who were running the EOS 7D 60D certainly rebel lines, "step forward" function (top panel LCD, rear control dial, the percentage of high explosives) for some. Friendly than the video (and tripod) also joint LCD 1:2 3:00. Add a full HD video recording and up to about 18MP and above, resolution of the sensor according to the following, in terms of the image leads to a mid-range EOS.
EOS 60D, you get some news of its own. Now, the color can be applied to the image when the scene mode to use it (or "environment"), there are a variety of effects can be seen in the live view screen. The 60D is to distort the final, including the chromatic aberration of the lens, including the option to fix, get the ability to convert to JPEG in camera raw. As an added bonus, you can retroactively "rough black and white" and "Toy Camera" for the new files were taken, including the looks "creative filter" can be applied.
For example, in terms of specifications and features, EOS 60D, a few new tricks yourself, while the EOS 7D and EOS 550D is almost exactly half. That, we think (off-line on the apparent "dumbing down" of protest against the howling is inevitable fine x0d) is exactly where it should have.

Canon EOS 60D vs 50D: Key differences
Placing 60D 50D subsequently became clear that the new camera is not just upgrade directly, but the model repositioning. The most striking difference is that the smaller and, of course, no longer has a metal case.
As you can see from the table below the 60D is not an unequivocal upgrade from the 50D in the same way that previous cameras in the range have been. Essentially it's a 50D in a smaller body, the includes a flip-out screen and the sensor used in the Rebel T2i (550D) and 7D, with all the HD movie recording capability that brings.
