Canon recently introduced
the 18 megapixel Canon EOS 60D digital SLR, a camera geared towards enthusiast
level photographers, and which shares the same sensor technology found
in the popular Canon Rebel T2i. The 60D serves as a successor to the Canon
EOS 50D.
The Canon 60D provides
a more rugged body design compared to the Rebel T2i, and although the
two camera's feature a similar 3.0-inch LCD screen with 1.02 million resolution,
the rear LCD monitor on the 60D provides greater versatility by offering
a tilt and swivel function for shooting at unusual and more creative angles.
The Canon 60D also provides
faster 5.3 frames per second (fps) continuous shooting (versus 3.7 fps
for the T2i), a brighter and clearer glass pentaprism viewfinder with
slightly greater coverage compared to the penta-mirror viewfinder found
in the T2i, and offers a different button and control layout combined
with a top illuminated LCD information display and a number of additional
functions.
A one touch movie record
button, an external stereo microphone input and manual movie controls
make the Canon EOS 60D a great tool for creating movies. Like the Canon
Rebel T2i, the EOS 60D allows you to capture 1080p HD movies with sound
to complement your stills, and the camera provides a Live view feature
allowing users to compose images and shoot video by using the LCD monitor
to frame the subject (in the same way as on a point and shoot).
The Canon EOS 60D incorporates
the same 63 zone dual layer exposure metering system found in the Rebel
T2i and the higher end Canon EOS 7D, although with some slight variations
in center weighted and spot metering area coverage. The camera's 9-area
Auto Focus (AF) system with selectable focus points and centre cross sensor
provides efficient AF performance and remains largely unchanged from the
system found in the Rebel T2i.

Canon
EOS 60D Digital SLR: Major Features
|
18.0
Megapixel CMOS Sensor and DIGIC 4 Image Processor: The EOS
60D utilises the same advanced sensor developed for the Canon Rebel
T2i, coupled with the advanced low-pass optical filter introduced with
the higher end EOS 7D, performing well at both high and low sensitivities
for high quality images, even in low light.
The sensor features a four channel read-out, allowing the fast transfer
of image data to the DIGIC 4 processor to support a high speed burst
of 5.3fps at 18MP resolution.
ISO
100-6400 (expandable to 12,800):
With a broad range of ISO settings, the EOS 60D enables shooting from
dawn through dusk and ensures capture of the finest detail. With enhanced,
low-noise high-sensitivity optimization, shooting in situations previously
possible only with flash becomes as simple as point and shoot.
Basic
+ Shooting Mode: A
new Basic + function makes it easy for photographers to add their own
creative touch to images without worrying about changing settings. Photographers
can add ambiance to a scene by shooting according to lighting and scene
type, with Portrait, Landscape, Close-Up, Sport, Night Snapshot or Creative
AUTO modes all available.
Different effects can be achieved by shooting with Basic + enhancements
such as Daylight, Cloudy or Sunset or pre-set Picture Styles including
Vivid, Soft, Warm or Monochrome.
1. Shoot by ambience
selection: exposure compensation and white balance are adjusted according
to preset styles to create ambience or tone in the image
2. Shoot by lighting or scene type: a simplified form of white balance
which allows new digital photographers to change the white balance settings
according to more understandable terms such as “Daylight”, “Shade”,
“Cloudy”, “Sunset”, “Tungsten light” and
“Fluorescent light”.
Advanced
movie mode with manual exposure control and selectable frame rates:
Offering photographers the freedom to go beyond stills, the EOS 60D captures
1920x1080p HD video with a variety of user-selectable frame rates, including
30, 25 and 24fps, as well as 720p video at 60 and 50fps.
Movie Crop mode is also available, recording with the central 640x480
pixel area of the sensor to create an effective magnification of approximately
seven times the focal length of the lens.
Full manual control
in Movie mode allows photographers to employ their own exposure and
focus settings and take advantage of the effects achieved from Canon’s
wide range of EF lenses. An external stereo microphone terminal and
the ability to adjust sound recording level ensures the audio track
recorded matches the visual quality of the video, capturing broadcast-quality
sound.
Auto Focus System: A
9-point, all cross-type autofocus (AF) system provides swift and accurate
focusing, with an extra-sensitive centre point for lenses faster than
f/2.8, allowing photographers to artistically employ a shallow depth of
field during portraiture or for more atmospheric shooting.
Ergonomic
Body Design: The EOS 60D features a completely redesigned body,
combining an ergonomically enhanced, curved shape with a new button layout
to make it quick and comfortable for photographers to change settings.
Frequently used camera controls are grouped together for easy access,
while the Quick Control Dial, Multi-controller and SET button have all
been merged into one Multi Control Dial, enabling photographers to operate
menus and enter settings quickly using their thumb. The mode dial also
features a lock button, preventing unintentional changes to settings mid-shoot.
A dedicated Quick Control access button allows photographers to instantly
reach the most common shooting settings and playback controls. Customising
the functions of a number of buttons is also possible, allowing photographers
to tailor the camera to suit their individual needs.
To help achieve landscapes with perfectly level horizons, a horizontal
Electronic Level can be displayed in the viewfinder or in Live View to
assist composition and remove any potential need for post-production correction.
High Speed Continuous Shooting:
the Canon 60D offers up to 5.3 frames per second shooting in bursts of
58 full-resolution JPEGs.
iFCL
Metering with 63 zone dual-layer metering sensor:
The iFCL system uses focus, colour and luminance information to determine
consistently exposed shots. All focus points provide distance information
to the metering system to determine proximity to the subject and allow
the algorithm to weight the exposure accordingly.
The EOS 60D features
a metering sensor with 63 zones compatible with all nine AF points. Typically,
metering sensors are more sensitive to red subjects which can lead to
underexposure. The EOS 60D combats this with a dual layer sensor, which
has one layer sensitive to red and green light and one that is sensitive
to blue and green light. The metering algorithm then compares the level
of the two layers and adjusts the meter reading accordingly in real time.
3.0-inch
Vari-Angle LCD Monitor:
The EOS 60D features a 3.0-inch Vari-angle wide LCD monitor with 3:2 aspect
ratio and offering approx 720x480 pixel resolution with 1,040k dots. Screen
brightness can be adjusted to one of seven levels, making it easier to
view high-quality images and make ultra-accurate focus checks in playback.
The LCD monitor flips out 175° and can be rotated by 270° to a
low or high angle to allow perfect composition at unusual shooting angles.
 |
Picture
Style Presets: simplify
in-camera control over image quality. Picture Style presets can be likened
to different film types – each one offering a different colour response.
Within each selectable preset, photographers have control over sharpness,
contrast, colour tone and saturation.
The camera’s factory default configuration is set to deliver immediately-usable
JPEG images without need for additional menu settings. Picture Style presets
applied to a RAW image can be revised with Canon’s Digital Photo
Professional software.
The six presets are:
1. Standard – For crisp, vivid images that don’t
require post-processing
2. Portrait – Optimises colour tone and saturation
and weakens sharpening to achieve attractive skin tones
3. Landscape – For punchier greens and blues with
stronger sharpening to give a crisp edge to mountain, tree and building
outlines
4. Neutral – Ideal for post-processing
5. Faithful – Adjusts colour to match the subject
colour when shot under a colour temperature of 5200K
6. Monochrome – For black and white shooting with
a range of filter effects (yellow, orange, red and green) and toning effects
(sepia, blue, purple and green)
The Canon 60D's 'User Defined Picture Styles' can be used to store up
to three customised pre-sets for personal preference.
In-Camera
Post Processing:
designed to provide power for those who wish to extend their creative
vision, the EOS 60D features a host of new functions that help capture
better images and in-camera effects to add an extra dimension. The powerful
DIGIC 4 processor supports in-camera RAW image processing, allowing photographers
to edit settings such as brightness, contrast, white balance or correct
distortion or chromatic aberration. The edited image can then be resaved
as a JPEG, ready to be printed or uploaded to a PC or the web.
For photographers
who want to add post-production effects to their images without the
need for expensive software, the EOS 60D also features a range of new
creative filters that can be applied in-camera. Filters including Grainy
B/W, Soft Focus, Toy Camera Effect and Miniature Effect provide images
with a different feel, allowing photographers to create a themed collection
- using Grainy B/W to give images a reportage style, for exam.
Secure
Digital Memory Card and SDXC Compatible: The
EOS 60D is one of the latest Canon models to support high-capacity SDXC
memory cards, providing up to 2TB of available space, allowing photographers
to keep shooting HD video and full resolution RAW and JPEG stills without
changing cards.
For better management of larger image libraries on the camera, EOS 60D
photographers can add a rating of 1 to 5 to their favourite images, allowing
them to be easily located and viewed on-screen. Once transferred from
the camera to a PC, the tags can also be viewed using a number of image
editing and management programs, including Canon’s DPP software.
EOS
Integrated Cleaning System:
The EOS Integrated Cleaning System combats sensor dust in three important
ways - Reduce, Repel and Remove:
1. Reduce - Internal camera mechanisms are designed to minimise dust generation.
The redesigned body cap prevents dust generation through wear on the cap
itself
2. Repel - Anti-static technologies, including a special fluorine coating,
are applied to the low -pass filter covering the front of the sensor so
as not to attract dust
3. Remove - A Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit uses hi-frequency vibrations to
shake dust from the infrared filter for a period of approximately one
second after each start up. For instant shooting after power up, this
feature is disabled immediately as the shutter release is depressed.
Canon
EOS 60D SLR: Press Release
MISSISSAUGA,
ON., Canon Canada PR – High-quality digital capture and
skillful post-processing go hand-in-hand for superior end results, and
more control over in-camera image processing means less time editing
and more time shooting. At the same time, the overwhelming popularity
of Full HD video recording with other current EOS Digital SLRs has led
to customer requests for more advanced features such as manual audio
level control and flexible LCD screens.
Canon
Canada Inc., a leader in digital imaging, delivers all of these features
and more with the new EOS 60D Digital SLR Camera. For the first time
on an EOS camera, the EOS 60D DSLR boasts a three-inch Vari-Angle Clear
View LCD screen, EOS Full HD video recording with manual overrides including
audio level control, and in-camera functionality for RAW image processing
plus Creative Filters to manipulate images after taking them.
Designed
primarily for advanced amateurs, the EOS 60D replaces the EOS 50D and
boasts a broad array of new features that make it easier for photographers
to add personal creativity to their images. Whether it’s capturing
an overhead shot on the Vari-Angle screen at a graduation ceremony,
or converting a colour image to black and white for a nostalgic look,
Canon is delivering in-camera features and functions that empower advanced
photographers to capture, display and print the images they want.
“The EOS 60D has been designed to offer the image-capture and the
Full HD video features customers are looking for as they continue to
expand their photographic skills. The exciting new features of the EOS
60D make using a DSLR camera more attractive and easier than ever before.
We want everyone to experience the great image quality a Canon DSLR
can offer with features and functions that they will appreciate and
use,” stated Ian Macfarlane, Vice President of the Consumer Imaging
Group at Canon Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon U.S.A.,
Inc.
For the first time in the history of the Canon EOS System, the new 60D
camera features a large Vari-Angle 3-inch (7.6-centimetre) Clear View
LCD screen with 1,040,000 dot/VGA resolution plus anti-reflective and
smudge-resistant coatings for bright clear viewing from any angle. The
new LCD screen is ideal for composing low-angle or overhead shots whether
capturing still images or Full HD video clips.
Another
first for the EOS system is the EOS 60D camera’s new Multi-Control
Dial, which places a Multi-Controller and Set button inside the Quick
Control Dial. This new control layout streamlines camera navigation
for vertical as well as horizontal shooting and enables a cleaner camera
design.
Responding
to customer requests, the EOS 60D also features a locking mode dial,
which makes camera operation more secure by preventing inadvertent changes
to the photographer’s selected shooting mode.
While the photography mantra of “get it right in the camera”
still stands true, Canon’s new EOS 60D gives advanced photographers
an edge with new in-camera features that enable users to enhance their
images without a computer even after they have been shot.
For the
first time ever in an EOS camera, the EOS 60D features in-camera processing
of RAW image files, new reduced resolution image copies, and post-processing
creative image filters for exceptional flexibility in digital image
rendering.
-
In-camera
RAW image processing features include Picture Style, White Balance
(WB), Colour Space, High-ISO Noise Reduction, Peripheral Illumination
Correction, linear distortion correction and chromatic aberration
correction. These powerful in-camera editing tools will allow photographers
in the field to produce optimized images on the spot and generate
JPEG files at various resolution and compression settings for immediate
sharing, without affecting the original RAW data.
-
Another
great new feature for photographers-on-the-go is Canon’s new
image resizing function. After capturing full resolution or smaller
JPEG images, the camera can generate lower-resolution copies using
menu commands. New lower-resolution settings include 1920 x 1280 for
optimal display on HD televisions, or 720 x 480, ideal for immediate
uploading to social networking and other photo sharing web sites.
The original high resolution files remain unaffected by the image
resizing function.
Available
for the first time in an EOS camera are Canon’s new creative image
filters. Familiar to Canon PowerShot users, these fun photo effects
help make a great image more dynamic, even after it has been shot. Canon
provides four artistic filters that allow photographers to capture an
image and then create and manipulate a digital copy of it.
(1) The Soft Focus effect filter helps dramatize an image and smooth
over shiny reflections.
(2) The Grainy Black and White filter can give a different nostalgic
perspective to any shot.
(3) Canon’s “Toy Camera” filter deliberately adds vignetting
and colour shift for a creative option when shooting a colourful scene.
(4) Users can also make a scene appear like a small-scale model, simulating
the look from a tilt-shift lens, with Canon’s Miniature Effect
filter, great when shooting any scene from a high vantage point.
Each of these filters can be applied to a captured still image in-camera
to create a second “filtered” JPEG version, leaving the original
RAW or JPEG file unaffected.
 |
Another
addition to the camera’s Live View function is Canon’s new
Aspect Ratio feature whereby the Live View screen can display cropping
lines for 1:1, 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratios in addition to the standard
3:2 ratio.
These
cropping lines make it easier to compose images in Live View, and they
can help to expedite printing when using Canon’s supplied Digital
Photo Professional software. Custom aspect ratios are also applied to
JPEG images whether captured directly in-camera or created with the
EOS 60D’s in-camera RAW image processing function.
In addition to its new still capture capabilities, the EOS 60D features
Full HD video capture at 1920 x 1080 resolution with selectable frame
rates of 24p, 25p or 30p. Native 24p recording helps videographers achieve
a more cinema-style look for their footage without the need for post-processing.
The EOS 60D builds upon the great video capabilities Canon has introduced
in recent DSLR cameras and packs them into a camera photo enthusiasts
will love.
Full
HD video capture, along with selectable cinematic frame rates for both
NTSC (National Television System Committee) and PAL (Phase Altering
Line) standards, will help the EOS 60D to be the camera of choice among
film students and photography students alike.
The new EOS 60D camera’s movie mode also includes manual controls
for exposure as well as manual audio levels in 64 steps, much like the
latest firmware update for the EOS 5D Mark II HD-SLR. Users can set
audio levels on the rear menu screen before shooting begins; once recording
is initialized, audio adjustments are not possible. In addition, Canon
has added an electronic Wind Filter to the audio controls within the
movie shooting menu.
Canon has also included an in-camera movie editing feature, allowing
users to shorten a video file by clipping segments from the beginning
or the end, removing unwanted portions without outside software. This
feature can dramatically accelerate workflow by reducing the time needed
to upload video clips to a computer for further editing and assembly.
The EOS
60D also includes Canon’s Movie Crop mode, which allows users to
achieve 7x magnification when shooting SD video. Unlike the digital
zoom feature found in many compact digital cameras, Canon’s Movie
Crop mode crops the image directly from the CMOS sensor at full SD resolution
to preserve image quality and still provide additional telephoto power.
Providing access to the right lens for any given shooting scenario,
the EOS 60D DSLR camera is compatible with more than 60 Canon EF and
EF-S lenses. The EOS 60D DSLR’s video functions are supported by
two key proprietary Canon technologies, a DIGIC 4 Imaging Processor
and a large APS-C–sized CMOS sensor capturing fine detail and colour
with an amazing cinematic depth of field.
The Canon
EOS 60D allows for three video recording modes – Full HD and HD
in a 16:9 aspect ratio and Standard Definition (SD) in a 4:3 aspect
ratio, all at selectable frame rates.
The EOS
60D Digital SLR camera will record Full HD at 1920 x 1080 pixels in
selectable frame rates of 24p (23.976), 25p, or 30p (29.97); 720p HD
recording at 50p or 60p (59.94) and SD video at frame rates of 50p or
60p (59.94).
The EOS
60D features a dedicated button to initiate live view for both video
and still shooting. Once engaged, the same dedicated button will start
and stop video recording.
Along
with the adjustable LCD screen, the new EOS 60D DSLR features a class-leading
18-megapixel Canon CMOS sensor, a proprietary DIGIC 4 Imaging Processor,
a 9-point Autofocus system and Canon’s exclusive iFCL Metering
System (Intelligent Focus, Colour, Luminance) giving it the power of
a professional-level camera.
Capable
of capturing fast action, the 60D DSLR can shoot full resolution still
images up to 5.3-frames per second (fps). The EOS 60D records its images
and video clips to the photographer’s choice of SD, SDHC or new
extended capacity SDXC memory cards.
The 9-point AF system on the new EOS 60D features f/5.6-sensitive cross-type
focusing on all nine focusing points. Like the EOS 7D, the center AF
point is a hybrid of standard cross-type and special diagonally-shaped
“X” cross, with high-precision sensitivity for f/2.8 and larger
aperture lenses.
Complementing
the AF system, Canon’s iFCL metering system, identical to that
on the EOS 7D and Rebel T2i, takes colour information into account and
includes a 63-zone dual-layer metering sensor that reads both illumination
and color for consistent results in all lighting conditions, keeping
exposure levels stable from shot to shot, even as the light source changes.
Photographers will enjoy shooting in low light thanks to the EOS 60D
DSLR’s wide ISO range from 100-6400 (adjustable in 1/3-step increments
from ISO 100-6400 and expandable to 12,800) allowing it to capture beautiful
images without flash during family milestone events such as wedding
ceremonies, while still being equipped with a built-in pop-up flash
for shooting the cake cutting ceremony and reception.
The EOS
60D’s pop-up flash features a built-in Integrated Speedlite Transmitter
for control of up to two groups of off-camera EOS Speedlites without
the need for an external transmitter, providing an economical solution
for multi-flash shoots.
Making accurate composition more convenient, the EOS 60D’s optical
viewfinder provides 96 percent coverage along with Canon’s built-in
single axis Electronic Level Display, which utilizes the exposure level
scale below the picture area to let the photographer know when the camera
is level.
The
Electronic Level Display is also visible on the camera’s LCD screen
in both Live View and Movie modes. An artificial horizon display illustrates
horizontal roll, allowing the photographer to know when the camera is
in a fixed level position. The entire camera has been durability-tested
to 100,000 exposures making the EOS 60D a reliable as well as a powerful
imaging tool.
Pricing and Availability: The Canon
EOS 60D Digital SLR camera is available in a body-only configuration
at an estimated retail price of $1,199.99 Canadian.
The camera
is also offered in kit versions with Canon’s EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6
IS zoom lens at an estimated retail price of $1,499.99 and with Canon’s
EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens at an estimated retail price of
$1,599.99 (As of Oct, 2010). The
BG-E9 Battery Grip will sell at an estimated retail price of $329.99
Canadian.
