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

Sluggish contrast detect AF in live view mode

Histogram blocks a good portion of the live view
Pl
No continous autofocus for video
Awkward mode dial lock placement

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

The announcement of the 60D caused a great deal of consternation, particularly amongst existing owners of the X0D series cameras. The slot in the market previously occupied by the 50D is now split between the 7D and the 60D, and the newer model is muc...
There is so much more to say about this camera and its impressive number of features and functionalities, but I would rather advise you to go and check out other reviews made by professionals who are making a living with their photography… Like usual...

The Canon EOS 60D is an excellent upgrade for ‘entry level’ shooters (those in the 1000D, 500D and 550D range) looking for more control, an articulated LCD, wireless flash, and a more substantial body. If you’re interested in recording video, this DSLR...
Fast burst mode, excellent high ISO performance, hinged LCD screen, Full HD video recording
Its buttons could be better, the 8-way control button feels terrible and doesn't always respond properly
Canon's EOS 60D digital SLR camera is a joy to use in all photography situations. It's fast, it performs very well in the dark, it takes crisp and vibrant pictures, and it offers plenty of physical improvements over the 50D. In fact, it gives you plenty o...
Excellent LCD screen in terms of resolution and shooting flexibility. High ISO performance is impressive. Very good picture quality without needing to alter the default values. Creative filters are fun, but probably better suited to an entry-level model
Body no longer made of magnesium alloy. Some design quirks that affect usability. Slow AF in Live View
Provided you don't need ultra-fast shooting speed or a tough chassis, the 60D is ideal for anyone looking for a video-enabled SLR. Just don't expect a true successor to the 50D....
Abstract: Replacing the popular EOS 50D, Canon's new EOS 60D sits between the EOS 550D and EOS 7D and appears to have the same sensor as its 'siblings'. The company is clearly aiming this model at photo enthusiasts, adding some new features that will attract tho...
