60D

The Canon EOS 60D is a digital single-lens reflex camera introduced by Canon in 2010. It is positioned as a mid-range model in Canon’s APS-C DSLR lineup, serving as a step up from entry-level models and a precursor to higher-end enthusiast bodies such as the EOS 70D. It succeeded the EOS 50D in Canon’s mid-range line.

The 60D features an 18-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor and Canon’s DIGIC 4 image processor, delivering improved image quality and processing speed for both stills and video. It includes a 3.0-inch vari-angle LCD screen that can be tilted or rotated for flexible composition, especially in high- or low-angle shots. The camera uses the EF-S lens mount and is compatible with SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards. The autofocus system provides a nine-point setup with cross-type sensitivity in the center, supporting reliable focus across a range of shooting scenarios. The body includes built-in features common to Canon’s mid-range bodies, such as matte focusing screens and manual exposure controls, appealing to enthusiasts who want more control than entry-level models offer.

In addition to still photography, the 60D offers Full HD video recording with manual exposure controls, along with HDMI output for external displays. It builds on the live view and quick control options familiar to Canon users, including customizable controls and in-camera editing features. The EOS 60D was widely used by hobbyists and aspiring professionals seeking a capable, affordable DSLR with flexible imaging and video capabilities. It remained in production for several years before being superseded by newer models in Canon’s lineup.
