I have never understood Canon’s DSLR line up (even if the naming is better than Nikon except for the Rebel series). Who is this camera supposed to target? I own the Rebel T2i and I don’t see enough advantage of this. I would rather get a 7D for that.
Canon has absurdly canceled the AF micro-adjust in a newest Eos60d, and claimed that the Eos60d is a mid-level DSLR. Really, this policy is a truly asinine behavior from Canon businessman.
Ok, Eos7d is too high pricing and a plastic mirror-box base (though a metallic shell), and the 1.6x sensor is a smaller size than competitor; Eos60d is merely a practically entry level, and then Nikon would get more opportunities.
Nikon D300s and D300 are having a beefy alloy mirror-box base in an inboard core, not only a metallic shell. (In fact, a plastic shell not a trouble, but the alloy mirror-box base is really worth.)
Could Nikon be to provide the AF fine tune in D95?
We are usually talking about the AF-error, but the various lenses are actually showing the respective AF-error! It is not a singly AF-error on the camera body. So you will need the AF adjustable storage into the camera body.
Canon has taken the AF fine tune on eos50d or a higher, but the Nikon d90 is no AF fine tune. I would never buy a camera lacked the AF fine tune.
If these are the actual specs of Canon’s successor to the 50D, Nikon’s D90 replacement will have an easy time of outdoing the 60D with its improved video capability, better low light performance, possible dual card slots, higher frame rate, and more advanced AF system with 30 more AF points than this camera.
I would hope that Canon had more in store for its successor than this.
Yawn.
For us non-Canonites, this is a cropped-body camera, right? Not a D700 full-frame type? If so, it seems pretty okay for what it is. I’m not really understanding what more people would want. This seems like a nice camera. What’s not to like?
What’s the suggested price?
Yes, it’s cropped – APS-C
Yes, it’s a nice camera, but apart from the view finder there is nothing attractive over the 550D for me. So why should I pay such an upgrade price for a little better 550D?
But maybe this thing flies for Canon, e.g. people with an old 400D might want to upgrade to “a new level” and the 7D is too far away (in terms of price).
Oh and the prices, they are … interesting:
$ 1,099
€ 1,149
£ 1,099.99
So we now don’t have $=€, the European price is even higher!
And talking about price, the Nikon D300s has currently a street price of 1.200€, the 60D will probably be around 1.000€. That would be an easy decision for me
There is a lot riding on 60D:
1) 50D was a disappointment when compared to its predecessor 40D and Nikon’s 300D.
2) mid-range SLR segment is being squeezed from the bottom by low-end SLR’s that keep getting better and better. It also has a well defined performance ceiling they can’t get past: semi-Pro SLR’s. No manufacturer would allow a low profit margin product cannibalize sales of high profit margin products(Semi-Pro and Pro SLR’s)
3) Sony is finally starting to come up with new(post-Minolta) mid-range SLR products which will make mid-range SLR market a true 3-way competition.
I suspect that unless 60D hits it out of the park in terms of image quality and low-light performance, it will be the last Canon mid-range SLR’s.
Well, nothing really special here. Good, solid camera, yet not very good in any of the specs.
Bit pity Canon is pushing the 18MPx sensor in it, it could end up much better, especially in dynamic range, if they would come back for their mind.
Either way – it’ll be good camera, yet no reason other than Canon lenses to buy it over competition.
Fantastic, with these specifics I can finally sell my Canon lenses and pass to a Nikon Body,
I’m tired with this terrible sensors with too much pixels in a small size,
Canon’s Marketing outclasses the image quality ……
I’m buying your lenses. What do you have, conditon and prices please!
i don`t understand this. they have 550d, 7d and now 60d with the same sensor. what a shame. this bloody mpix wars…
Looks like the 60D will be a 7D with fewer AF points and less viewfinder coverage. Yay. – Why?

Also, there are also much of the third-party lenses, like Tamron, Sigma, then the AF adjustable storage is needed into the camera body.

ah!! I finally found out what’s new…the screen. it’s a swiwel display. 550 doesn’t have that right?

If the rumours of the D95 are true this camera will be absolutely a non-factor for the similar price. The ‘rumoured’ D95 is set to comete very strongly with the 7D if the rumours are true.. Magnesium body, 39 pt af, 1080p video, dual sd slots, 16mp high iso performance sensor.. in-fact it’s better than the 7D in every way spec sheet wise (albiet 2MP) – and at a cheaper price..
I’m thinking it’s too good to be true. Maybe this D95/D7000 is set to replace the D300s AND the D90 in one fell swoop and have a higher pricing than the rumours are indicating.. (or maybe the rumours are wrong)..
If they’re true it’s going to make Canon’s new 60D look old within a few weeks of it’s release..
We shall see!
