Canon's new fast-shooting, mid-range EOS 60D consumer DSLR boasts a smaller, redesigned body, a vari-angle LCD screen and, of course, full HD 1080P video capture

Canon has announced the latest addition to its EOS series of Digital SLR cameras - the new EOS 60D. Replacing the EOS 50D, the EOS 60D is designed for photographers wanting to go to the next level, offering high performance, a series of in-camera creative features, a Vari-angle LCD screen and enhanced ergonomics. Offering photographers the freedom to go beyond stills, the EOS 60D captures 1920x1080p HD video with a variety of user-selectable frame rates, including 30, 25 and 24fps, as well as 720p video at 60 and 50fps

With a Canon designed 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 (1:1, 16:9, 4:3 in addition to the standard 3:2 dimension). Canon's powerful DIGIC 4 technology rapidly processes image information captured from the CMOS sensor's four-channel output, providing outstanding colour reproduction, as well as high-speed shooting at 5.3fps in bursts of 58 full-resolution JPEGs.

A first for a Canon DSLR, a new 7.7cm (3.0") Vari-angle wide LCD monitor features a 3:2 aspect ratio and a 1,040k dot resolution, providing added flexibility and allowing photographers to view their images in incredible detail. The Vari-angle wide LCD helps frame shots from difficult angles, and can be positioned with Live View enabled to achieve the desired composition if shooting isn't possible using the viewfinder. The ability to capture wildlife portraits, overhead shots or ground-level photography is instantly enhanced to deliver complete flexilbility.

The EOS 60D features a completely redesigned body, combining an ergonomically enhanced, curved shape with a new button layout to make it quick and comfortable for photographers to change settings.

The EOS 60D is one of the latest Canon models to support high-capacity SDXC memory cards, providing up to 2TB of available space, allowing photographers to keep shooting HD video and full resolution RAW and JPEG stills without changing cards.
