When Canon announced the long rumored and much anticipated Canon EOS 60D, not everyone is happy about the technical parameters set before them, but that's pretty much to be desired. With a new class of camera introduced with the release of the Canon 7D, it was prompted to ask questions about the future of Canon XXD series. This becomes a bigger problem when you look at the Canon EOS 550D is the right hand was able to provide EOS 7D some stiff competition. Why choose Canon EOS 60D? Canon is out of their mind and this is really a marketing mistake?

Let's look at some of the specifications first.

Does it make sense to buy a Canon EOS 60D?

Well the first consideration is the idea of ​​"upgrading" the camera low to the higher range. Looking at the specs, it is certainly clear that by moving from 550D to 60D, 60D and from the 7D (or replaced in the future) will be meaningful. While some may choose to go straight from the 7D 550D, it would really depend on the final price tag was a 60D is fully launched on the market.

Now why I would say that it means?


Canon EOS 550D - Canon EOS 60D
  • Layout controls better with an LCD screen that users DSLR leading many people find indispensable
  • A can be improved more quickly with the explosion scene and continuous wide range of shutter speeds
  • Tilt-LCD for those who may need to be taken at awkward angles
  • Speedlite Transmitter integrated to better control light cameras
  • A more rugged body weather

Why choose Canon EOS 60D, Canon EOS 7D instead?
  • Cheaper by the body (not an issue of money ... How much will depend on the final price difference)
  • Tilt-LCD for those who may need to be taken at awkward angles
  • If you do not need more than 5.3fps continuous shooting speed
  • You want the lightest cameras may be able to do the job (The 65g will make a difference over time)

Canon EOS 60D - Canon EOS 7D
  • A can be improved more quickly with the footage and photographs for each continuous maximum burst
  • One body definitely more
  • Transmitted via flexible LCD screen while shooting
  • 19-point AF system to be kind to those who need more precise control
  • (Negative) You lose the LCD tilt, can

Although I still see many people buying the camera is completely beyond their current capacity, I believe there are many photographers out there who will be happy to get their "upgrade "without breaking the bank by getting Canon EOS 60D, Canon EOS 7D instead.
