An articulating LCD highlights Canon's latest SLR.
The three-inch articulating LCD on its new SLR “is ideal for composing low-angle or overhead shots,” Canon says.
The EOS 60D is an 18-megapixel SLR that shoots full resolution still images at 5.3 frames per second.
It also captures Full HD video at 1920 by 1080 resolution with selectable frame rates of 24p, 25p or 30p. The movie mode includes manual controls for exposure as well as manual audio levels in 64 steps. The camera has video clip editing and cropping features.
In-camera RAW image processing features include picture style, white balance, color space, high-ISO noise reduction, peripheral illumination correction, linear distortion correction and chromatic aberration correction. The in-camera editing tools “will allow photographers in the field to produce optimized images on the spot and generate JPEG files at various resolution and compression settings for immediate sharing,” Canon says, without affecting the original RAW data.
Also, Canon follows Olympus and others with new “creative image filters” that alter photos in-camera. These include Soft Focus, Grainy Black and White, Toy Camera, and a tilt-shift Miniature Effect.
The 60D is $1,100, or $300 more with an 18-135mm lens.
