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!
