The Canon EOS 60D is an 18.1 megapixels semi-pro digital single-lens reflex camera made by Canon. It was announced on August 26, 2010, with a suggested retail price of US$1099.00.{{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 }} As a part of the Canon EOS two-digit line, it is the successor of the EOS 50D and is the predecessor of the 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 ISO range, full-HD video capabilities, and in-camera 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 EOS 50D, the following changes have been made, including:

  • Resolution increase to 18.1 megapixels APS-C CMOS Sensor (50D has 15.1 megapixels).
  • Maximum sensitivity increased to 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 550D/Rebel T2i.
  • 1080p Full HD video recording at 24p, 25p and 30p with drop frame timing.
  • 720p HD video recording at 50p (50 Hz) and 60p (59.94 Hz).
  • 480p ED video recording at 50p (50 Hz) and 60p (59.94 Hz).
  • Manual control of audio recording (same as newer firmware on 5D MkII).
  • 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 fps (50D maximum is 6.3 fps).
  • SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot (50D uses CompactFlash).
  • Smaller and lighter polycarbonate resin with glass fibre on aluminium chassis (50D has magnesium alloy body).
  • Wireless Speedlite control.
  • Lack of 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 7D.
  • Lack of PC socket for flash synchronization.
  • External shutter release port changed from 'Canon N3' socket to 3/32" (2.5mm) TRS pin.
  • In-camera 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'{{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}} due to the reduction in some features; however the pentaprism viewfinder and iconic rear control wheel remain, as does the top informational LCD. The slightly smaller body retains the grip of the two-digit Canon line.{{cite web|url=http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Canon_EOS_60D/design.shtml |first=Gordon |last=Laing |title=Canon EOS 60D design and controls |work=CameraLabs.com |date=October 2010 |access-date=January 22, 2012}}
