The editors didn't like
Some highlight clipping
Photos taken in artificial light can have a brownish color cast
Redeye a problem
No removal tool available

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
Enter
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
Sharp, beautiful images. Fast shooting. Excellent for low-light performance without a flash. Lots of video recording options. Manual operation during video recording. Articulating LCD.
No continuous autofocus while recording video. Lens makes audible noise when re-focusing during video recording.
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. Buy it now...

The Canon EOS 60D represents the middle of Canon's SLR lineup, but it is a top-notch camera in terms of performance, handling and flexibility. There are a lot of upgrades from the 50D, including a significant bump in resolution and a completely revamp...
The new 60D represents something of a rethink on Canon's part, now more clearly positioned as a prosumer SLR camera that sits halfway between the cheaper, more consumer-focused 550D / Rebel T2i and the more expensive, semi-pro 7D. Current 50D owners l...
High resolution 18 Megapixel stills, Flexible HD movies with mic input and audio levels, Articulated screen with superb 3:2 panel, 5.3fps continuous shooting and fast AF.
No continuous AF while filming video, Rocker control difficult to use, Limited options for in-camera RAW processing, Outclassed in traditional respects by D7000.
There's two ways of looking at the EOS 60D. First is as Canon's new mid-range DSLR, in which case it sits perfectly between the existing EOS 550D / T2i and EOS 7D. It offers a number of benefits to differentiate itself from entry-level models without ...
Abstract: The EOS 50D was getting a little long in the tooth since it didn't have any video capability and that's a sine qua non for any new DSLR these days. The new D60 sits comfortably between the EOS 7D at the high end and the EOS digital Rebel T2i at the...
