With the new EOS 60D DSLR, Canon gives the photo enthusiast a powerful
tool fostering creativity, with better image quality, more advanced
features and automatic and in-camera technologies for ease-of-use. It
features an improved APS-C sized 18.0 Megapixel CMOS sensor for
tremendous images, a new DIGIC 4 Image Processor for finer detail and
excellent color reproduction, and improved ISO capabilities from 100 -
6400 (expandable to 12800) for uncompromised shooting even in the
dimmest situations. The new Multi-control Dial enables users to
conveniently operate menus and enter settings with a simple touch. The
EOS 60D also features an EOS first: A Vari-angle 3.0-inch Clear View LCD
(1,040,000 dots) monitor for easy low- or high-angle viewing. An
improved viewfinder, a number of new in-camera creative options and
filters, plus HDMI output for viewing images on an HDTV all make the EOS
60D invaluable for the evolving photographer. With continuously curved
surfaces, user-friendliness and exuding solidity and refinement, the EOS
60D is true digital inspiration!
The improved DIGIC 4 Image Processor ensures that images are captured,
processed and saved with remarkable speed. The EOS 60D DSLR's new 3:2
multiple aspect ratio, in-camera RAW image processing, creative filters,
image resizing and provided S2 and S3 image-recording quality are all
possible thanks to the DIGIC 4 Image Processor. With dazzling results,
the new DIGIC 4 Image Processor also works to capture and process data
of images shot at 18.0 Megapixels at 5.3 fps, as well as 14-bit signal
processing for excellent image gradation, enhanced Face Detection Live
mode, Full HD video recording, Auto Lighting Optimizer and Lens
Peripheral Optimization.
Designed for the evolving, tech-savvy user, the EOS 60D features HD
Video capture technologies - manual exposure control for more creative
control, for example - borrowed directly from professional Canon DSLRs
to capture stellar video with all the benefits of shooting with a DSLR.
By shooting video with the EOS 60D, photographers as well as filmmakers
can take advantage of the creative features native to DSLR cameras.
Along with its manual controls, the EOS 60D allows for full use of Canon
EF and EF-S lenses, including Macro and Fisheye, providing a plethora
of shooting options once reserved only for still photography. The
resulting HD video is a standout in its beautiful depth-of-field
characteristics and remarkable capture capability under poor lighting
conditions. Additionally, a Movie Crop function is included: An
SD-quality video (640 x 480) can be cropped to the equivalent of about
7x magnification of regular shooting.
