The Canon EOS 60D is an 18.1 megapixels semi-pro digital single-lens reflex camera made by Canon. It was announced on August 26, 2010, with a suggested retail price of US$1099.00.[1] As a part of the Canon EOS two-digit line, it is the successor of the EOS 50D and is the predecessor of the EOS 70D.
It is the first Canon EOS camera which has an articulating LCD screen. Apart from its screen, the main new features of the 60D in the two-digit Canon line include increased resolution and ISO range, full-HD video capabilities, and in-camera post-processing functions for the images. However, it uses the DIGIC 4 image processor.
Like the 50D, the camera has an LCD of settings on the top of the camera where the ISO, AF-Mode, Shooting mode, and metering mode can be controlled.
Maximum sensitivity increased to ISO 6400 (12800 as optional expanded setting) (50D has max 3200 ISO, with 6400 and 12800 as optional expanded settings).
Video recording, with same controls as the 550D/Rebel T2i.
1080p Full HD video recording at 24p, 25p and 30p with drop frame timing.
720p HD video recording at 50p (50 Hz) and 60p (59.94 Hz).
480p ED video recording at 50p (50 Hz) and 60p (59.94 Hz).
External shutter release port changed from 'Canon N3' socket to 3/32" (2.5mm) TRS pin.
In-camera raw development and built-in creative filters and special effects.
External 3.5mm stereo microphone jack
Digital Photography Review described the changes as representing the move from 'semi-pro'/'prosumer' to 'enthusiast'[4] due to the reduction in some features; however the pentaprism viewfinder and iconic rear control wheel remain, as does the top informational LCD. The slightly smaller body retains the grip of the two-digit Canon line.[5]

Canon announced a modified version of the EOS 60D for astrophotography on April 3, 2012, called the EOS 60Da. The 60Da is the successor to the EOS 20Da. It was expected to cost $1,499.[6] The camera has a modified infrared filter and a low-noise sensor with heightened hydrogen-alpha (H-alpha) sensitivity for improved capture of red hydrogen emission nebulae.[7] The 60Da is three times as sensitive to H-alpha light as the 60D to allow for better images of nebulae.[8]
