Canon recently announced Canon EOS 60D DSLR Camera that replaces the EOS 50D, but is quite a different model.
Gone is the magnesium alloy body and in is a smaller and lighter model, which Canon told us today slotted neatly into their range, with three amateur models (EOS 1000D, EOS 500D, EOS 550D), three in the enthusiast range (EOS 60D, EOS 7D, EOS 5D Mk II) and finally those pro models the 1D and 1Ds.
With the 60D Canon has unashamedly moved the X0D range out of the ‘semi pro’ bracket and instead focused on the enthusiast photographer looking to upgrade from their Rebel. As a result, it’s not the obvious continuation of the 30D – 40D – 50D pattern that its naming might suggest. Rather than being a direct upgrade replacement for the 50D, it’s perhaps better understood as a ‘Super Rebel.’
So gone is the magnesium alloy construction that featured in previous models. Instead we have a consumer (and tripod) friendly 3:2 ratio articulated LCD and a smattering of easy to use variable program modes, plus some key ‘step up’ features (top panel LCD, rear control dial, higher burst rate), including a few that have trickled down from the EOS 7D. It also brings the EOS mid-range in line with those above and below by upping the sensor resolution to around 18MP and adding full HD movie capture.
