With an 18 Megapixel APS-C sensor, the EOS 60D offers high levels of detail and a magnification of 1.6x the focal length of the lens to capture poster-size images in a variety of aspect ratios.
Canon’s says that their DIGIC 4 technology rapidly processes image information captured from the CMOS sensor’s four-channel output, providing high-speed shooting at 5.3fps in bursts of 58 full-resolution JPEGs.
A standard ISO range of 100-6400 is extendable to 12800. According to Canon this provides smooth images with minimal noise in low light conditions.
The EOS 60D features Canon’s iFCL metering system, which Canon says was first introduced with the EOS 7D with a 63-zone Dual-Layer sensor.
Canon explains that information on the subject location is gathered from the Auto Focus system and is combined with colour and luminance readings. This produces consistent accurate exposures whatever the situation, according to Canon.
The Integrated Speedlite transmitter also provides in-camera control of multiple EX flash units.
