Canon EOS 60D ( Digital Camera )

The Canon EOS 60D is a digital single-lens reflex camera from Canon. It was the first Canon EOS camera which had an articulating LCD screen. It was publicly announced on August 26, 2010 with a suggested retail price of US$1099.00. As part of the Canon EOS line of cameras, it succeeded the EOS 50D and preceded the EOS 70D camera.

Apart from its screen, the main new features of the 60D in the two-digit Canon line include increased resolution and ISO range, full-HD video capabilities, and in-camera post-processing functions for the images. It uses the DIGIC 4 image processor.

Like the 50D, the camera has a LCD of settings on the top of the camera where the ISO, AF-Mode, Shooting mode, and metering mode can be controlled.

The 60D is offered for purchase as a body alone or in a package with an EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens, EF-S 17--85 f/4-5.6 IS USM lens, EF-S 18--135 f/3.5-5.6 IS lens or an EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS.
