More Great Information on Flashgun Wireless:

Canon EOS 60D Price in India   by Robert Blume

Canon EOS 60D - The fence straddler

After the admittedly excellent EOS 7D that introduced a host of new features, including a brand new 18-megapixel sensor, focussing and metering system and refined ergonomics, it was only a matter of time before Canon trickled this technology downwards, into lower-end bodies, eventually refreshing their line-up with marginally smaller feature sets of the same goodness.

And the 60D is little more than a slower 7D in a smaller, less robust body with a scaled down feature set. However, even scaled down as it may be, the 7D is formidable enough to arm any lower derivative with a veritable arsenal, and the 60D is quite a camera. It also represents Canon's first effort at an articulated LCD display, evidently to match Nikon's D5000. The 60D is exciting because, like the lower-end EOS 550D it features a lot of the goodness of the EOS 7D at a slightly lower price point. Unfortunately, this also proves to be its undoing, but no more spoilers.

Before reading up the review on the EOS 60D, you might want to check out our detailed EOS 7D review, where we not only tested the 7D, but also covered some basics including crop sensors and focussing. For the record, the 60D was never meant to replace the 7D, which is higher priced, and has better ergonomics and a better build, but is aimed at gently nudging the older EOS 50D along the road to obsolescence.

Features at a glance:

18 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor

9-point autofocus system (all cross-type)

0.95x magnification with 96 per cent viewfinder coverage

1080p HD video recording with manual controls

5.3 fps continuous shooting

Articulated 3-inch, 920,000 dot LCD

If you bother to read the 7D's feature set, you'll see the 60D gives up quite a few of the pro-grade features that will appeal to enthusiasts like faster continuous shooting, faster operation with dual Digic 4 processors, viewfinder and focussing system. What it does offer is the same sensor, and at least what we're hoping, similar ISO performance to its spiritual predecessor.

Size and build

The 60D is visibly smaller than the EOS 7D, and the top is lower, owing to a slightly smaller pentaprism bulge. Although the 60D is a comfortable fit in-hand, it's not as comfortable as the 7D, whose larger body was more reassuring to grip. The rubber coating on the 60D feels about the same, but it could be a bit thinner. The magnesium alloy frame is dropped for a more conventional (and cheaper) polycarbonate body, and the LCD gets a polycarbonate coating, rather than the hard glass surface on the 7D.

On its own, the 60D feels solid in-hand, definitely a lot chunkier and more reassuring than the EOS 4xx/5xx series of camera bodies. It compares favourably to Nikon's D90 and the much cheaper D5000, but when handled side-by-side with the Nikon D300s and Canon EOS 7D, it is not as well built, obviously so, for build is simply a function of price. From all accounts, Nikon's new D7000 also seems a lot more robust, at least in the partial use of a magnesium alloy frame, however, we feel the use of exotic metals in the construction of such cameras is mostly of use for those shooting in extreme weather and handling conditions.

After all, how many of us will bang or drop our Digital Cameras on a regular basis? Even the EOS 1000D will survive more than a handful of drops, and such reinforcing adds to the price, meaning a reduced feature set for the same price. After all, if you shoot for the National Geographic channel, you'll probably use a Nikon D3x or Canon 1Ds Mark 3, and never bother with anything lower (read cheaper).

The buttons and keys on the body are well built and particularly the famous main dial atop the body feels as good as the 7D's, while the rear dial is more clicky - the 7D was a quieter in operation. The articulation of the LCD seems pretty robust, although we're not fans of moving parts. We feel this component should wear pretty well.

The battery compartment is small, holding an SD card, and is reasonably well built, opening with a nice snap, and has a decent spring action. It's not as robust as the 7D's card door, but we didn't expect it to be. The battery door is very plasticy and there is no spring - unlike the thick plastic and robust spring on the 7D with its robust spring and with the 60D, the door needs to be manually lifted once you unfasten the clasp.

The battery is the same 1800 mAh unit that does duty on the EOS 7D. The flash unit is the same one on the EOS 550D, and a little different from the marginally longer range 7D flash, although it gains the 7Ds ability to control groups of flashguns wirelessly.

Controls, operation and ergonomics.

While many people view the articulated LCD as a good feature, we do not necessarily agree. Sure, newbie's will want to use live mode, but enthusiasts will prefer the viewfinder. The LCD should only be used for viewing images after they are taken and not framing subjects. Even if you keep the LCD open all the time, improving ergonomics, for you needn't open it to preview the results of a shot, the ergonomics and button placement on the 60D is less than perfect.

The EOS 7D got button placement down to an art, and once you got over the overwhelming number of buttons and controls, it was easy to appreciate their presence. The 60D loses the vertical stack of buttons on the left side of the rear in favour of the articulation armature, and these buttons find themselves mashed together on the right side. The power switch is similar to the one on the 7D and very heavy duty.

The play button and delete button are located on polar opposites, one at the bottom of the camera, to the right of the LCD and the other atop the LCD to the left. This makes no sense, as one is forced to reach for the delete button every time. The menu and info buttons have lost their bevelling and while button feedback is good, there just isn't enough of a physical cue for your thumb-pads. The video/still switch is absent, now video shooting is on the dial.

The mode dial itself now has a lock button atop it that needs to be pressed before the dial spins. This prevents accidental brushing with surfaces changing settings. On the 7D, the wider girth meant this button had less accidental contact. However, recently, Canon announced that that this replacement dial was available for a small fee for both the 7D and 5D Mark 2 cameras, both of which are older, higher-end models compared to the 60D. Note that while this dial lock is useful, it also makes using the dial a plus-one step affair.

The 4-way joystick on the EOS 7D is missing on the 60D. Instead, it's inset in the rear dial, and is a joypad i.e. flat. This gives your thumb a smaller surface area to interface with the dial, and since the height of both dial and joypad is the same, the system is less intuitive. In fact the rear dial, besides being smaller than the comfortable and uber usable one on the 7D, is also a lot less usable for the same reason.

Losing the buttons on the left a major bummer. However, this is all subjective, and anyone migrating from an EOS 4xx/5xx series of cameras with sparser buttons will still find a wealth of manual controls. Everything is configurable, and the ability to map buttons to certain oft-used functions is a strong point. Canon's menu system is detailed but this is to be expected when a wealth of settings have been provided.

The status LCD is present, although it's a bit smaller than the 7D, and even slightly smaller than the one on the EOS 50D. The buttons below the LCD feel the same as the ones on the 7D, the ones above it - not so. They're flat, with no bevelling and exude cheap, clicky feedback, and are no comparison to the excellent ones on the 7D.

Only a raised dot on the centre of each button is any indication for your fingers. However, to keep this in perspective, status LCDs in general are a plus, and the 60D is better off with it, than without. The shutter button feels the same, although the 60Ds shutter is slightly more muted than the 7D, and if anything, (surprisingly!), feels a little better.

The viewfinder is also not as bright as the 7D, and the 9 focus points are the permanent etched type, unlike the 7D that used a transmissive LCD that paints the focus points on to the viewfinder. The 7D was a benchmark for Canon, and we'd hoped the older system of viewfinders would be defunct. At least the 60D is a lot cheaper than the EOS 5D Mark 2 that also features this archaic viewfinder.

In practice, the 60D is a nice feeling camera, with a good amount of control buttons, that will be a step up for someone migrating from a compact camera, or an entry-level dSLR like the Canon EOS 1000D. People who have used, (or own), an EOS 7D will not be impressed.

Performance

We're dividing the performance section into two subsections:

1) Speed and battery life

2) Image quality
