From the Manufacturer
With the new EOS 60D DSLR, Canon gives the photo enthusiast a powerful tool fostering creativity, with better image quality, more advanced features and automatic and in-camera technologies for ease-of-use. It features an improved APS-C sized 18.0-megapixel CMOS sensor for tremendous images, a new DIGIC 4 Image Processor for finer detail and excellent color reproduction, and improved ISO capabilities from 100-6400 (expandable to 12800) for uncompromised shooting even in the dimmest situations. The new Multi-control Dial enables users to conveniently operate menus and enter settings with a simple touch.
The EOS 60D also features an EOS first: A Vari-angle 3.0-inch Clear View LCD (1,040,000 dots) monitor for easy low- or high-angle viewing. An improved viewfinder, a number of new in-camera creative options and filters, plus HDMI output for viewing images on an HDTV all make the EOS 60D invaluable for the evolving photographer. With continuously curved surfaces, user-friendliness and exuding solidity and refinement, the EOS 60D is true digital inspiration!
EOS 60D Highlights
18.0-megapixel CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4 Imaging Processor
The EOS 60D features a new, Canon-designed 18.0-megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor that captures such a high level of resolution, it's easy to crop images for enlargement without concern of losing detail. A major factor in reducing noise, the CMOS sensor assures that images shot at highest sensitivity will be remarkably smooth.
The improved DIGIC 4 Image Processor ensures that images are captured, processed and saved with remarkable speed. The EOS 60D DSLR's new 3:2 multiple aspect ratio, in-camera RAW image processing, creative filters, image resizing and provided S2 and S3 image-recording quality are all possible thanks to the DIGIC 4 Image Processor. With dazzling results, the new DIGIC 4 Image Processor also works to capture and process data of images shot at 18.0 megapixels at 5.3 fps, as well as 14-bit signal processing for excellent image gradation, enhanced Face Detection Live mode, Full HD video recording, Auto Lighting Optimizer and Lens Peripheral Optimization.
ISO 100-6400 (expandable to 12800) for shooting from bright to dim light
With a broad range of ISO settings, expandable up to 6400 in the Auto Setting and 12800 with Custom function, the EOS 60D enables shooting from sunrise to sunset and helps ensure capture of the finest detail. With enhanced high-sensitivity optimization, subjects can be captured clearly and easily at high shutter speeds without flash, with minimized blur and noise. In bright scenes, especially long exposures in daylight, optimal exposure can be achieved with a fully open wide-diameter lens, no dark filter needed.
Improved EOS HD Video mode with manual exposure control
Designed for the evolving, tech-savvy user, the EOS 60D features HD Video capture technologies--manual exposure control for more creative control, for example--borrowed directly from professional Canon DSLRs to capture stellar video with all the benefits of shooting with a DSLR. By shooting video with the EOS 60D, photographers as well as filmmakers can take advantage of the creative features native to DSLR cameras. Along with its manual controls, the EOS 60D allows for full use of Canon EF and EF-S lenses, including Macro and Fisheye, providing a plethora of shooting options once reserved only for still photography. The resulting HD video is a standout in its beautiful depth-of-field characteristics and remarkable capture capability under poor lighting conditions. Additionally, a Movie Crop function is included: An SD-quality video (640 x 480) can be cropped to the equivalent of about 7x magnification of regular shooting.
The audio input level can be set to Auto or Manual, up to 64 levels, and a wind filter minimizes unwanted background noise. By pressing the Quick Control button, a simple graphic user interface for adjusting image quality, white balance, image creation and other settings appears on the LCD. The EOS 60D even lets users edit video in-camera: On-site or off, unnecessary scenes can be deleted and the start/end points of video footage can be designated via in-camera editing functions without the need of a separate computer.
Video can be captured at a number of resolutions and frame rates for numerous applications. It can capture 1920 x 1080 Full HD video at frame rates of 30 (29.97 fps), 24 (23.976 fps) and 25.0 frames per second, for up to 4GB per clip. Video footage is saved as MOV files and can be viewed in Full HD through the EOS 60D DSLR's HDMI output. Other recording sizes include HD at 1280 x 720 (50/60 fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (50/60 fps)--24/30 fps delivers cinema-like motion, while 60fps is perfect for footage being uploaded to video-sharing websites. The EOS 60D also has a built-in microphone for simple mono recording and stereo sound can be recorded through a self-powered external microphone.
Vari-angle 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor
A first for any EOS, the EOS 60D features a bright, high resolution, flip-out Vari-angle 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor for shooting at a variety of angles. By easily switching between low and high angles, the EOS 60D freely enables angle adjustments even if the camera is mounted on a tripod or has a battery grip attached.
With 1,040,000 (dots/VGA) pixels for spectacular detail, the advanced, smudge-resistant monitor includes high transparency materials plus anti-reflective and water-repellant coatings to provide clear and bright viewing. Superb for reviewing, editing and deleting photos or composing new images in Live View function, the Vari-angle Clear View LCD monitor is also the perfect means for accessing camera settings like ISO, metering modes, AF Point selection, the horizontal Electronic Level and flash options.
5.3fps continuous shooting up to approx. 58 Large/JPEGs and 16 RAW
The EOS 60D operates with such effortless speed that operation is nothing short of intuitive. With a 0.1 second start-up time, speedy autofocus and minimal shutter lag, the EOS 60D is made to capture even rapidly-occurring scenes with stunning precision. Able to shoot up to 5.3 frames per second (fps), capturing a maximum burst of approximately 58 Large/JPEGs and 16 RAW, the EOS 60D DSLR lets you catch even the briefest of moments, whether it's a faced-paced soccer game or the flicker of a candle flame.
96% viewfinder coverage allowing you to see more of your image in the viewfinder
The EOS 60D features a phenomenally redesigned viewfinder that not only offers an improved 96% coverage, 0.95x magnification, a 27.0° angle of view and user-controlled dioptric adjustment, it also features a newly designed transparent LCD display that enables a number of viewfinder displays. A six-level battery check indicator has been added on the left, and the exposure level indicator scale has been expanded to up to three stops, with arrows indicating greater exposure levels.
The 60D's Electronic Level. The EOS 60D also features an advanced horizontal Electronic Level, that, when activated, is superimposed on the LCD monitor to aid in achieving evenly leveled shots by indicating the horizontal tilt up to approximately 9° in 1° increments.
Enhanced iFCL 63-zone, Dual-layer metering system; and 9-point AF system
The EOS 60D features a sophisticated, 63-zone Dual-layer sensor designed to complement the 9-point AF system. By taking into account the color and luminosity surrounding chosen AF points, this system delivers an advanced level of accuracy for better results even in difficult lighting situations. Since the metering sensor has a color measurement function, exposure errors and focus errors caused by different light sources are minimized; the EOS 60D gives stable exposure from shot to shot in situations where light changes, such as in a theater or concert hall. This makes the EOS 60D ideal for scenes with extreme difference in brightness such as brightly lit scenes or backlit scenes; the camera balances exposure of the main subject at the background, and exposures are not overly influenced by bright areas in the shot.
Since the EOS 60D provides high-speed X-sync ("X-sync" means the fastest shutter speed that can synchronize with a flash burst at the moment the shutter is fully released) up to 1/250 sec., the range of photographic expression is dramatically increased, allowing the EOS 60D to be used with confidence in bright scenes or dim.
Metering zones. Convert RAW images into JPEGs in-camera and set the images to a 3:2 aspect ratio
The EOS 60D marks a highpoint in convenience for the photographer by being able to shoot an image as a RAW file and then process it entirely in-camera to produce a separate JPEG file without the need of an outside computer. The EOS 60D gives you 10 process variables--brightness adjustment, white balance, Picture Style, Auto Lighting Optimizer, noise reduction, JPEG image-recording quality, color space, lens peripheral illumination correction, distortion correction and chromatic aberrations correction--to create the image you envision, set to the 3:2 aspect ratio used in 35mm film.
Additionally, once you capture an image with the EOS 60D, you can digitally manipulate it in-camera with a number of creative filters for artistic and dramatic effect. Options include Soft Focus Effect to convey dreamy tableaus; Grainy Black-and-White Effect for a gritty, hard-bitten look; Toy Camera Effect--the deliberate vignetting and color shift technique popular in art photography--and Miniature Effect, which blurs the top and bottom edges of the image to emphasize perspective and conveys a miniaturized look of the scene.
Compatibility with SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards
The EOS 60D DSLR uses popular SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards. Compact, inexpensive and available in increasingly large capacities, SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards are a perfect complement to the EOS 60D DSLR's compact and lightweight body design.
Compatible with the full line of Canon EF and EF-S lenses
The EOS 60D is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF and EF-S lineup, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses. Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise and micron-precision engineering to deliver unprecedented performance in all facets of the photographic process. Special optical technologies, such as aspherical, ultra-low dispersion, or fluorite elements are featured in the universally acclaimed L-series lenses. And Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology is featured in select lenses to minimize the effect of camera shake. Additionally, photographers can use for video the same lenses they do for still photography; Canon wide-angle, macro, super-telephoto, tilt-shift and fisheye lenses provide a wealth of focal lengths, depth-of-field and other creative shooting options once reserved for stills. Through Canon lenses, photographers can truly maximize the quality and liberating performance of the EOS 60D.
Flash Photography
With a flash sync speed of 1/250 of a second, the EOS 60D also features the acclaimed E-TTL II flash metering system. With any of the flashes in the EX Speedlite line (sold separately), E-TTL II provides reliable flash output whether shooting fill-in flash pictures in sunlight, or using flash in total darkness. With E-TTL II, the exact same 35-zone metering sensor used for measuring ambient light is also used for flash metering--giving even finer metering command of the image area. If you prefer a broader area for flash metering, there's a menu setting to change to "Average" flash metering--where the entire 35-zone area is measured evenly for flash exposure. Additionally, the EOS 60D has a Speedlite transmitter built-in for convenient, full-featured wireless control of EX-series Speedlite flashes set as slave units.
The Canon Speedlite 430EX II is the ideal step-up accessory for powerful flash shooting with the EOS 60D. It has excellent flash power (maximum guide number of 141 ft./43m at ISO 100), and is the perfect way to get great flash pictures when you can't get right up to the subject. The 430EX II is also great for bounce flash, with its tilting and swiveling flash head. It automatically zooms the flash head to cover lenses ranging from 16mm up to 105mm or longer with the EOS 60D. Of course, it works with the camera to provide full E-TTL II automatic flash exposure. And the 430EX II has a powerful AF-assist beam, which allows the camera to autofocus even in total darkness on subjects as far as 32 ft. from the camera.
Included Software
Canon EOS Digital Solution Disk (Version 23.0) The EOS 60D comes bundled with an updated Canon EOS Digital Solution Disk, which features powerful software programs designed to extend the EOS experience to the computer.

Customers like the color of the camera. They say that the 7D has a nicer color, and the quality of photos is awesome. They also appreciate the vibrant color processors, and richness of depth and color. Customers also like the picture styles and the ability to customize the settings. They mention that the LCD screen on the 60D is absolutely beautiful, and that the colors shone through easily.

First, I went back and forth: Body only or kit? I'm glad I went with just the body, because I spent a little more and also bought the Canon EF 50mm 1.4 lens. What a fantastic combination! Startlingly clear shots, richness of depth and color, and very, very lightweight combined with the 60D. The resolution is so sharp that you can crop your image quite small to get a good zoom effect and still have great prints.
Another point to consider about the kit lens is the AF. Using a lens that has a minimum aperture smaller than 2.8 dumbs down the center AF point on the 60D, as clearly stated in the manual. I want to get the most out of my AF. Plus, those several extra fractions of stops below 2.8 come in very handy and allow for low light shots without the need for a flash or cranking the ISO too high.
I was disappointed that Micro-Focus Adjust was not one of the features built-in; however, before buying the 60D, I did test my three old lenses and found them to be focusing accurately. I hope they stay this way! As said, I bought the 50mm 1.4 with this and, fortunately, it focuses precisely.
The flip screen is handy for still shots in live view if your subjects are staying still and you have time to let the contrast AF find its target. To get the most out of a DSLR that has amazing video quality, I couldn't imagine going without a screen that can tilt like this.
EDIT: You can also use "AF Quick Mode" in Live View, but it takes two distinct presses of the shutter button--one to focus, the next, all the way down, to take the shot. It seems a little awkward, but it is the way to use the camera's AF points while in Live View.
One other feature I like about Live View: I can disable it. I have been accidentally engaging it while handling the camera. Believe me, it is easy to turn it on by mistake and drain the battery. Since I'm rarely going to need Live View spontaneously to grab a quick shot, I just leave it disabled. If I need to put the camera over my head or on the ground in and awkward position, making the Live View button active again is pretty quick. And, BTW, disabling the Live View button does not affect movie mode at all that I can see.
The LCD display itself is wonderful for quick, accurate feedback and for reading the menus. The Quick Menu's large font on such a sharp screen makes life very easy for those of us who don't want to be slipping on reading glasses all the time.
Before using the camera even once, I trimmed down an iPod screen protector to fit on the 60D's LCD. For sure your nose is going to leave big greasy prints on the screen when you are using the viewfinder! I like being able to flip the screen inward for safety when stowing the 60D, but otherwise I just leave it screen-side out (with the protector on) so I'm not constantly putting wear on the hinge.
That hinge, by the way, is smooth and seems durable, but I'll still be very easy on it.
Coming from a 20D, this is a massive, wonderful upgrade. I thought a bit about getting a FF sensor, but the clarity and the size of the RAW images make me happy I saved the money by going with the cropped sensor. Plus the 60D's features are so rich, so up-to-date. Compared to the 20D, the AF is faster and more accurate. Ergonomically, this fits my hand better. The right-side grip area feels a little deeper than the 20D's, making this easier to carry securely in one hand when you get tired of carrying it on your neck.
My other choice was the 7D, but I felt like the savings could go towards the better lens and Photoshop. Yes, the 7D has some stronger specs in a few areas, such as faster rapid-fire and more sophisticated AF, but the features of the 60D, and the same sensor as the 7D, made me feel this was the better value. And I already mentioned the flip screen being so important for easy video use.
By the way, I'm using a Transcend 16GB Class 10. No problems with long bursts or full HD video.
Heck, I'm just getting started, but it is an astounding upgrade.
You do get a full user manual unlike the standard rebels. This is very helpful and it is small enough to carry in a dSLR bag. Right now, Amazon is selling the body for almost half the price I paid for my original Rebel and it is an good bargain. Many will be tempted to buy the newer T4i model which now is about the same price. The t4i may have some newer features and better video performance so it may be a very difficult decision for some to choose which way to go. If you are a beginner looking at this camera for your first purchase of a dSLR, may not a good choice. I would stick with an entry level Canon or Nikon dSLR camera because it will take just as good images and be much easier to learn the basics. I think you can learn faster with a more simplified interface and lighter camera. If you find you really love photography, it will be much easier the second time around to choose a more competent camera which will have more features and will probably cost less to buy in the future.
The Canon 60d matched with a nice lens, is possible to get superior images of macro objects, very low light scenes with image quality not possible with the smaller sensor cameras. However, I must admit now, I will not take this camera on a trip because of total weight with lenses and body. This is always a personal decision everyone has to make when packing for a trip. I find a super zoom (bridge camera) like the Canon SX50, or the Panasonic FZ200 and subcompacts such as Canon S95 or S110 are easier to take anywhere and allow more candid photos.
Things I like about the Canon 60D which are not available with the entry level Ti series.
1. Extra info LCD display on top, which gives extra helpful info but not easy to see in dark setting,it has weak light which helps a little
2. Great button placement and many individual controls for ISO, Drive, exposure, etc
3. Better and brighter viewfinder with pentaprism.
4. Wireless flash control, more flash options
5. Q menu allow quick change of functions... T4i has this with touch screen
6. Longer battery life. Can take a huge number of images, 500 plus before needing to recharge battery
7. Many more custom settings allowed. They can easily be reset
8. Electronic level helps keep horizon level, helpful especially when on tripod.
9. Many extra features and options in the menu system.
10. Better grip, camera is larger and easier to handle especially with a larger lens.
11. Better build quality than entry level or ti series.
12. Some weather sealing but not pro level. More robust than ti series but less than pro models which have magnesium frames. This doesn't have it.
13. Very fast focusing and display
14. Many more options than available to entry level models.
Things not so great. I am struggling to find complaints, so here are a few weak arguments.
1. 60D has not been updated for almost 2 years. a new model will be out soon.
2. Camera is larger and heavier than ti series.
3. The LCD display is difficult to view in some lighting situations, could be larger
4. No touch screen, gps, or other newer features found on newer cameras which might be on upgraded model at a higher price.
Canon wisely steered this model to the Amateur who wants a little more Camera but does not need a professional model with Magnesium frame and fully weatherproofed with a giant sensor, extra processors, and a camera that can be used and abused. The 60D uses a poly-carbonate frame like the other rebels. It's strong enough and tough enough for 97% of us taking pictures. It probably has enough to satisfy anyone maybe even the pros who may chose to buy it as a second or third body.
If you are trying to decide whether to buy this camera over the T4i, the T4i has the edge because it has been upgraded to have many newer capabilities beyond the Canon 60D. The advanced amateur, semipro, and pro would probably be better off with the 60D primarily because of better ergonomics, build quality, weather sealing, better viewfinder and more customization. The novice photographer to advanced photographer might be better of with the T41 with its many great new features. Both take great images with a good lens (glass).
What lenses to buy?
The kit lens is OK starter lens and has the advantage of cost and lightness. Choosing a good lens is probably the most difficult decision in photography. The kit lenses offered by Canon for their cameras are a good start. Buying the Canon F1.8 is a no brainer because it's the best buy in lenses today.
This review is about the Canon 60D but I mentioned the T4i which I also bought. You may wonder which I like better. I haven't decided yet because they are both great cameras and you can't go wrong with either. I hope this review has helped in your decision making.

Utilizzando ovviamente obiettivi di buon livello, si ottengono risultati eccezionali: le immagini sono molto pulite, con poco rumore anche in condizioni di luce non ottimale.
I controlli manuali disponibili non solo da menù ma anche da tasti e ghiere facilmente raggiungibili la rendono estremamente comoda, come anche il display rotabile.
La qualità di registrazione audio non è il massimo, ma usata insieme a un registratore esterno di buona qualità (tipo Tascam o Zoom) si ha un'accoppiata fenomenale.
Non si scalda anche dopo un uso prolungato ed è decisamente consigliata per le capacità video (con tutte le limitazioni che queste macchine hanno in quest'abito, come la durata massima di registrazione, ovviamente).
