The editors didn't like
Some highlight clipping
Photos taken in artificial light can have a brownish color cast
Redeye a problem

Sluggish contrast detect AF in live view mode
No continuous AF in movie mode
Histogram blocks a good portion of the live view
Pl
No continous autofocus for video
Awkward mode dial lock placement
Display gets easily washed out in sunlight
No continuous autofocus while recording video. Lens makes audible noise when re-focusing during video recording.

Canon has been busy redesigning its range of cameras
Now creating four distinct levels. The Rebel T2i is regarded as Canon's current amateur camera
The 7D is aimed at semipros
And cameras such as the 5D Mark II and 1DS Mark III are firmly aimed at professionals
This has left a big gap though for enthusiastic amateurs looking to upgrade from an entrylevel camera

Poor Auto White balance under tungsten lighting
Slow focusing in Live View
Clumsy access to Movie mode
Still not a fan of DSLR HD video
Focusing is a hassle
”Warm” indoor images with Auto White Balance
Puzzling Multi-control dial
Only nine focus points
Obtuse UI.
Some annoying interface conventions
Slow AF in Live Mode reduces benefit of articulated screen for stills shooting
White balance often excessively orange under artificial light
Slight tendency to overexpose in contrasty conditions
Post-processing options oddly arranged (and don't provide access to the Ambience options)
Plastic construction not as reassuring as its metal-bodied peers
Canon certainly seems to have produced another winner in the EOS 60D. It’s a very useful update of the 50D, adding more pixels, HD video, a tilt and swivel LCD and lots of other small refinements. My only complaint is that I think I’d rather have had C...

Very fast; articulated display; excellent video quality and options
Some annoying interface conventions
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.
There's no doubt about the fact that the Canon EOS 60D is a fantastic camera for serious photography hobbyists. Its revamped architecture brings a vari-angle LCD, SD card compatibility, and intuitively placed external controls to the table. The Canon ...

Canon seem to be trying to carve out a new niche with the 60D. It has some clever features, such as a pivoting LCD, in-camera editing and rating facilities, wireless flash control, and full HD movie capture. But getting the best results takes a little...
