Such is the magic of photography that no sooner has one camera been released – point and shoot, Prosumer, DSLR or even the mirror-less cameras – that the common people, the experts as well as the aficionados who are looking for its upgraded version. Moreover, when it comes to manufacturers, Canon is always the first one to come up with upgraded version of its wares. It is as if, it realised all too quick as to what can be tweaked in its models and they are just waiting to improve it. This could also be the reason why this very company went from EOS 30D to 60D within a span of less than two years. The Canon EOS 60D is a powerful 18mp camera for the serious hobbyist or a professional lensman.
Design and FunctioningLike any powerful and tough DSLR, one that is capable of standing the test of time, the EOS 60D comes in a solid and sturdy magnesium alloy body. Since it comes with a high resolution of 18mp, it is a treat for those who want to create large, poster-size prints – or crop images without losing any of the detail necessary for printing. With this camera, the user can enhance his or her stills with a range of creative filters such as toy camera effect or soft focus. These filters can be applied to RAW and JPEG images and the camera stores images in both these formats. The EOS 60D combines exceptional still shooting with the ability to shoot Full HD (1080p) video, a quality that not many DSLRs possess. When light levels fall, the EOS 60D offers an ISO range of up to 6400 – expandable to 12800 for those environments where using flash is undesirable. Also, its 3-inch Clear View LCD screen can be tilted, which could come in handy while recording videos. This camera is compatible with SD/SDHC/SDXC cards.
