Canon EOS 60D Pro Reviews

reghardware‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Although not particularly innovative – mostly borrowing features from other EOS models – the EOS 60D nicely fits the market section between beginner and semi-pro DSLR models. With virtually the same image quality of the EOS 7D plus a swivel LCD screen, the Canon EOS 60D is an accomplished DLSR that will no doubt satisfy the most demanding and advanced enthusiast.

The 60D has been launched into a market that has changed drastically since the arrival of its previous incarnation, in part due to the introduction of the EOS 7D. For this reason the 60D does seem more consumer-led than previous models and is designed more for ease and simplicity to allow it to fill the space more naturally between the 7D and the 550D. The host of new features are generally to its benefit, especially in the case of the vari-angle high-resolution screen and the Full HD video capture. The mode button lock and the new multi-controller won't suit all users however - especially those used to older Canon models. For those upgrading or looking for a high-performance mid-range DSLR however, you won't be disappointed. The 60D is fast, easy to use and produces stunning results.

shutterbug‘s review Edit Like Unlike

When I originally saw the specifications for the EOS 60D I was excited. I liked the idea of that big flip-out screen and while personally I could care less about video capture, I know that many Shutterbug readers do. Like the Rebel T2i I tested last year, this camera delivers impressive video clips. But overall I’m left with a feeling of ennui and maybe that’s because I expected a 50D with video capture, more resolution, a few more features, and that cool flip-out screen. That’s not what the 60D delivers. It is more sidegrade than upgrade and edges more toward the Rebel side of Canon’s product line than the aspiring professional side that previous cameras, including the 50D, delivered. Yet, in aiming the camera directly at the advanced amateur I think Canon is right on the mark.

The EOS 60D is an excellent upgrade for EOS Rebel owners who want more control, an articulated LCD, wireless flash, a more substantial body, and high-quality video capture.

The still image quality is great and the high ISO noise performance looks to be competitive with the best cropped-sensor cameras on the planet. I've always felt you get a DSLR for the still image quality and features like video and Live View are really more in the "nice to have" category rather than being a deal breaker with regard to any particular camera. There is a lot to like about the still images out of the 60D.

The Imaging Resource‘s review Edit Like Unlike

There's no question that the Canon 60D takes great pictures and videos, works like a charm, and does incredibly well in low light. The ability to print 20x30-inch prints from ISO 400 and even 800 images is valuable, and quite impressive. Even ISO 12,800 shots produce a very good 5x7-inch print. The Canon 60D is very fun to shoot with, takes great shots in low light, and makes earning a Dave's Pick look easy.

The Canon 60D has some smart features and handling is good overall, but getting the best results can take more effort than it should. Be prepared to interact with exposure compensation and auto lighting optimization settings fairly frequently.

The bottom line is that the Canon EOS 60D turns in very good performance, has great image quality and comes in a very affordable package. It is a camera that many of us will be happy to own.

While the 550D’s photos are exceptionally good for the price, the 60D has some stiffer competition. Canon’s SLRs are extremely consistent, so choosing a model is more about meeting your needs than going for an unequivocal Best Buy. That’s true of Nikon, too, and it gets more complicated because th two ranges include few models that are directly comparable by price. The 60D’s benefits over the 550D aren’t critical but together they easily justify the price difference. Ultimately, the 60D is a great choice for Canon owners looking to upgrade but keep their existing lens collection.

The Canon EOS 60D is in many ways a great camera: fast, feature-packed, and with excellent photo and video quality. Some annoying aspects of its control layout dim its shine a little, however, so try before you buy.

The Canon EOS 60D is an excellent upgrade for Rebel shooters looking for more control, an articulated LCD, wireless flash, and a more substantial body. If you're interested in recording video, this DSLR is a natural and smartly priced choice. Owners of the Canon 40D or 50D looking to upgrade might want to consider the 7D instead if body heft and fast burst rates are a priority.

The pictures are great, HD video is a bonus and, despite one or two hiccups in design, there’s a fair whack of specification here for the money that’s certainly not to be sniffed at.

The Canon 60D is fast, shoots gorgeous still images and video, and adds tons of options to make your video look professional, but those looking for ease of use may be deterred by the lack of continuous autofocus during video recording.

DP Review‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The 60D is probably best understood as a 'super Rebel' - it's a more comfortable, more flexible and faster-to-use version of Canon's justly popular entry-level DSLRs. The twin dial controls, better grip and bigger viewfinder will delight stills shooters while the articulated screen and movie control will please would-be videographers.

The successor to the EOS 50D brings higher resolution, a handy swiveling LCD, and surprising performance even at high ISO speeds.

The Canon EOS 60D offers vast improvements over the EOS 50D. Not only does it produce bigger images, it also has a more contoured body and plenty of new great features, such as the hinged screen. It's a camera that just makes you want to go out and take photos. The best part is that you can use it in pretty much any type of situation, even if you are new to photography. It performs exceptionally at night, it's great for capturing sporting events, and it can be set up precisely to capture landscapes. However, we do wish it had better quality buttons.

Ultimately the 60D takes some of the best features of existing EOS models and blends them together to create a DSLR that challenges the likes of the Nikon D90 more directly than the previous 50D did. While there are few genuinely new features here, the EOS 60D is a joy to use, that irksome four-way controller aside, with one of the best movie modes on any EOS SLR.

Camera Labs‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Ultimately if you forget about its predecessor, the EOS 60D is a successful DSLR which sits comfortably between the models on either side of it and is very enjoyable to use. It fulfils its brief of offering a decent step-up over an entry-level model without the cost, weight or complexity of a semi-pro body, and if you're into video you'll love the articulated screen and manual control over audio levels. As such it easily earns our Recommended rating, but those who aren't committed to the EOS system should very carefully consider the Nikon D7000 which could end up being a better bet for still photographers.

The camera handles well, and I really like the new simplified control layout. This should make the transition for upgraders from Canon's entry level models much less painful. Unfortunately the change to SD cards and the LP-E6 battery may disappoint those wishing to upgrade from older Canon models such as the EOS 30D or EOS 40D, but then you can't have everything, can you?
