The '''Canon EOS 60D''' is an 18.1 megapixels semi-pro [[Engineering:Digital single-lens reflex camera|digital single-lens reflex camera]] made by [[Company:Canon Inc.|Canon]]. It was announced on August 26, 2010, with a suggested retail price of US$1099.00.<ref name="price">{{cite web | url=http://www.digitalcamerainfo.com/content/Canon-EOS-60D-First-Impressions-Review-21883.htm | archive-url=https://archive.today/20130121141149/http://www.digitalcamerainfo.com/content/Canon-EOS-60D-First-Impressions-Review-21883.htm | url-status=dead | archive-date=January 21, 2013 | title=Canon EOS 60D First Impressions Review | publisher=DigitalCameraInfo.com | access-date=January 11, 2012 }}</ref> As a part of the Canon EOS two-digit line, it is the successor of the [[Engineering:Canon EOS 50D|EOS 50D]] and is the predecessor of the [[Engineering:Canon EOS 70D|EOS 70D]].

It is the first {{tooltip|2=Canon Electro-Optical System|Canon EOS|dotted=no|link=yes}} camera which has an articulating LCD screen. Apart from its screen, the main new features of the 60D in the two-digit Canon line include increased resolution and [[Physics:Film speed#Current system: ISO|ISO range]], [[Engineering:1080p|full-HD]] video capabilities, and in-camera [[Image editing|post-processing]] functions for the images. However, it uses the DIGIC 4 image processor.

Like the 50D, the camera has an 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 17–85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens, EF-S 18–135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens, EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM lens, or an EF-S 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 lens

==Features==

Compared to the [[Engineering:Canon EOS 50D|EOS 50D]], the following changes have been made, including:
* Resolution increase to 18.1 megapixels [[Engineering:APS-C|APS-C]] CMOS Sensor (50D has 15.1 megapixels).
* Maximum sensitivity increased to [[Physics:Film speed#Current system: ISO|ISO]] 6400 (12800 as optional expanded setting) (50D has max 3200 ISO, with 6400 and 12800 as optional expanded settings).
* Video recording, with same controls as the [[Engineering:Canon EOS 550D|550D/Rebel T2i]].
** [[Engineering:1080p|1080p]] Full HD video recording at [[24p|24p]], 25p and 30p with drop frame timing.
** [[Engineering:720p|720p]] HD video recording at 50p (50&nbsp;[[Hertz|Hz]]) and 60p (59.94&nbsp;Hz).
** [[Engineering:480p|480p]] ED video recording at 50p (50&nbsp;Hz) and 60p (59.94&nbsp;Hz).
* Manual control of audio recording (same as newer [[Firmware|firmware]] on [[Engineering:Canon EOS 5D Mark II|5D MkII]]).
* [[Engineering:Articulating screen|Articulating screen]] - {{convert|3.0|in}} with a slightly higher resolution of 1,040,000 pixels, 288 ppi, in 3:2 ratio (50D has 4:3).{{efn|reference=Canon counts the sub-pixels of each pixel, i.e. the red, green, and blue channel of each pixel, and therefore specifies the rear display to have 345,600 × 3 = 1,036,800 or ca. 1,040,000 dots.}}
** The 60D screen, unlike that of the 50D, matches the aspect ratio of the sensor.
* Lower maximum burst frame rate of 5.3&nbsp;[[Physics:Frames per second|fps]] (50D maximum is 6.3&nbsp;fps).
* [[Secure Digital|SD/SDHC/SDXC]] card slot (50D uses [[CompactFlash]]).
* Smaller and lighter [[Physics:Polycarbonate|polycarbonate]] resin with glass fibre on [[Chemistry:Aluminium|aluminium]] chassis (50D has [[Chemistry:Magnesium alloy|magnesium alloy]] body).
* Wireless Speedlite control.
* Lack of [[Engineering:Autofocus|AF]] micro-adjustment feature (included in 50D).
* Redesign of controls – multi-controller has been relocated to center of quick control dial; top buttons of 60D control only one setting.
* Locking mode dial.
* Electronic level that can be viewed in the viewfinder, rear LCD monitor, and top LCD panel.
* LP-E6 battery, as used in the 5D MkII and [[Engineering:Canon EOS 7D|7D]].
* Lack of [[Engineering:Prontor-Compur|PC socket]] for flash synchronization.
* External shutter release port changed from 'Canon N3' socket to 3/32" (2.5mm) [[Engineering:Phone connector (audio)|TRS]] pin.
* In-camera [[Raw image format|raw]] development and built-in creative filters and special effects.
* External 3.5mm '''stereo microphone''' jack

''Digital Photography Review'' described the changes as representing the move from 'semi-pro'/'prosumer' to 'enthusiast'<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dpreview.com/news/1008/10082620canoneos60d.asp |title=Canon EOS 60D DSLR announced and previewed: Digital Photography Review |publisher=Dpreview.com |date=August 26, 2010 |access-date=September 12, 2010}}</ref> due to the reduction in some features; however the [[Pentaprism|pentaprism]] viewfinder and iconic rear control wheel remain, as does the top informational LCD.
