A New Perspective
Designed to realize your perfect shot, the 60D’s pairing
of two
state-of-the-art sensor and image processor allows it to capture action
at a slick 5.3fps while the shutter speed range of 1/8000 sec ensures
that nothing escapes your vision.
18-megapixel sensor
Powered
by a cutting-edge 18-megapixel APS-C sized CMOS sensor and dynamic DIGIC
4 processor, the EOS 60D leads the pack at rendering the finest colour
gradations and the tiniest image details. The exceptional noise
reduction feature lets you recreate your favourite scenes with greater
finesse even in dimly-lit conditions.
3-inch wide Vari-Angle LCD
Experience a whole new level of compositional freedom
with the 3-inch
wide Vari-Angle Clear View LCD. The multi-directional swivel of the
screen (540°), coupled with the high resolution of 1.04 million dots,
empowers you to defy photographic conventions by snapping shots from
previously challenging physical angles.
In-camera post processing
With a
bevy of post-processing features to utilize including creative filters,
white balance, picture style and brightness, the mood of your scene can
be accentuated to fit your every visual whim. Enjoy the flexibility of
sprucing up your exposures anytime, anywhere, without the hassle of
external editing programs.
