Today, Canon UK announced the new addition to xxD series after the 50D. Ladies and gentlemen, presenting Canon EOS 60D.
Now I don’t know if you will be happy with the new specs and build of this new EOS DSLR. They added a Vari-Angle LCD Screen that looks like the Powershot series. And the magnesium alloy body is gone too, just like what we had in the 40D and 50D.
Note also that 60D is smaller than its predecessors 50D and 40D, and the CF card also is gone in this model.
According to DPReview 60D is a smaller camera featuring an articulated screen and plastic body shell and utilizing SD memory cards. It combines the 18MP CMOS sensor and 1040k dot 3.0″ LCD from the EOS 550D (Rebel T2i) with the AF system from the 50D. Meanwhile it gains the 7D’s HD movie capability.
Here’s the quick specs:
- 18 MP APS-C CMOS sensor
- Advanced creative features with Basic +
- Vari-angle 7.7cm (3.0”) 3:2 ratio LCD
- Full HD movies with manual control
- DIGIC 4
