Canon EOS 60D

Canon recently introduced the 18 megapixel Canon EOS 60D digital SLR, a camera geared towards enthusiast level photographers, and which shares the same sensor technology found in the popular Canon Rebel T2i. The 60D serves as a successor to the Canon EOS 50D. The Canon 60D provides a more rugged body design compared to the Rebel T2i, and although the two camera's feature a similar 3.0-inch LCD screen with 1.02 million resolution, the rear LCD monitor on the 60D provides greater versatility by offering a tilt and swivel function for shooting at unusual and more creative angles.
The Canon 60D also provides faster 5.3 frames per second (fps) continuous shooting (versus 3.7 fps for the T2i), a brighter and clearer glass pentaprism viewfinder with slightly greater coverage compared to the penta-mirror viewfinder found in the T2i, and offers a different button and control layout combined with a top illuminated LCD information display and a number of additional functions.
A one touch movie record button, an external stereo microphone input and manual movie controls make the Canon EOS 60D a great tool for creating movies. Like the Canon Rebel T2i, the EOS 60D allows you to capture 1080p HD movies with sound to complement your stills, and the camera provides a Live view feature allowing users to compose images and shoot video by using the LCD monitor to frame the subject (in the same way as on a point and shoot).
The Canon EOS 60D incorporates the same 63 zone dual layer exposure metering system found in the Rebel T2i and the higher end Canon EOS 7D, although with some slight variations in center weighted and spot metering area coverage. The camera's 9-area Auto Focus (AF) system with selectable focus points and centre cross sensor provides efficient AF performance and remains largely unchanged from the system found in the Rebel T2i.
