In other wáys, the Canon 60D inherits quite a lot from its 50D predecessor.Īnd while thé 7D is something of a speed freak, offering continuous shooting at up to 8fps (frames per second), the Canon 60D is slower even than the EOS 50D, dropping from 6.3fps to 5.3fps.Īnother crucial changé in the 60Ds design is that, whereas the 50D had a magnesium alloy body that was as tough as old boots, in keeping with its semi-pro aspirations, the 60D has a plastic shell.Ĭouple this with the switch to SecureDigital rather than CompactFlash memory, and the Canon 60D starts to look more like an up-market consumer camera than a semi-pro contender. On top óf that, you gét an extra stóp in the stándard sensitivity range, comparéd with the 50D, offering an upper limit of ISO 6400 (ISO 12800 in expanded mode). Canon 60D Software Full Pivoting FacilitiesĪnd while thé 3:2 aspect ratio LCD has the same 1,040k pixel resolution as on the Canon 550D, this time it comes with full pivoting facilities - a first for any Canon D-SLR.
Sure enough, thé Canon 60D boasts a host of new goodies including an 18MP sensor, 1080p HD movie capture with a choice of frame rates and Canons new iFCL metering system.
