Background and Identification

The Canon EOS 60D is a DSLR (Digital Single-lens reflex) camera released by the Canon Corporation on August 2010, succeeding the EOS 50D, and preceding the EOS 70D. The EOS 60D is distinguished due to the fact that it was the first EOS manufactured camera to feature an LCD screen. In addition, the EOS 60D is unique due to various other qualities and traits including its ability to capture high quality images at a wide ISO range, and it’s featuring of an enhanced APS-C sized 18 megapixel CMOS sensor for focused and vivid images. It is safe to say that DIGIC is the "brain" of Canon digital cameras.
