Canon 60D


Canon 60D's turn to be the interesting model. it seems with every other generation of Canon dSLRs, the EOS 50D. If somewhat uninspired follow-up to the extremely well-received 40D. It combines some of the best elements of the T2i and 7D in an updated and occasionally frustrating redesigned body.


60D offers the set of frame rates and manual exposure controls that have made Canon's dSLRs a favorite among the small but vocal group of indie filmmakers. The 3-inch articulated LCD is also a great boon for shooting video. While it's a very nice LCD, though, frequently had trouble viewing it in direct sunlight.

60D gains an improved autofocus system--better than the 50D but not as good as the 7D--as well as the advanced iFCL metering system of the T2i and 7D and a built-in wireless flash controller like the 7D.

In addition to the camera, there are the usual accompanying lens announcements. The coolest sounds like the EF 8-15mm f4L fisheye (available January 2011), which will be Canon's widest angle lens to date. There's also an update to the pro telephoto zooms with a 70-300 f4.5-5.6L IS. And Canon's revving its pro 300mm and 400mm f2.8 lenses with its latest coatings, improved sealing, a new on-prefocus IS mode and a security lock.

Price at http://shashinki.com is RM 4498.00.
