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
All things considered, the Canon 7D seems to have stolen the Canon 60D's thunder as a sophisticated successor to the Canon 50D. The Canon 60D itself feels more like a camera designed to bridge the gap between the relatively simple EOS 550D and the more...
Abstract: The DSLR market is really hotting up at the moment with Sony's new range having just been announced, new models from Nikon just around the corner, and there's been plenty of competition from all these new mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras . Adding t...
I am very impressed with the Canon EOS 60D, not least by the new handling. It seems that having to move some of the buttons due to the vari-angle screen has given Canon the opportunity to revisit the handling of the camera. The results is a camera that...
It would be easy to dismiss the EOS 60D as an EOS 550D with an articulated LCD screen, but it has quite a few additional refinements that make it a more complete tool for enthusiast photographers. It is disappointing that the level only works in one or...
Good picture quality; decent ISO performance; HD video recording; articulated LCD screen.
Lacks dedicated video recording button; slow autofocus speed in Live View mode; slow burst shooting mode.
The Canon EOS 60D is great for anyone looking for a mid-range camera. It isn't as powerful as the high-end EOS 7D but the 60D shoots great pictures even at ISO levels as high as 1,600. Autofocus in generally fast although it is a tad slower in Live Vi...
Great handling, Good ISO performance with low image noise, High burst rate when shooting JPEGs, Brilliant LCD display
Missing joystick makes switching AF points more difficult
The Canon EOS 60D sits at an odd juncture as it makes a break from its semi-pro heritage into the serious enthusiast market. For around three hundred dollars less, you can get a competent 550D, with less able handling, more image noise at higher ISO setti...

El tamaño del sensor y los megapíxeles permiten impresiones de gran tamaño. La pantalla LCD de 3 pulgadas permite visualizar las escenas. Imágenes contrastadas, con colores vivos y detalles
No está sellada para ser contra agua. La batería se descarga rápido al usar Live View en la pantalla LCD, además de que es un poco lento
Precisa para usuarios que tengan amplios conocimientos de fotografía, ya que es una cámara robusta con funciones manuales y distintas opciones de lentes. Además, por su tamaño, puede ser guardada en una mochila para llevarla a todos lados....
