Why Canon 60D?

Canon is one of the reputed manufacturers of digital cameras and video recorders. This year they released a new model that would surely excite photography enthusiasts out there who are looking for digital SLR with advanced features and cheaper compact body. It grabbed the spotlight since its release last August on the US market. More and more people are looking for the Canon 60D, the next ‘pro-sumer’ camera model after the Canon 50D that have improved features for your convenience.

If you are looking for a camera that is light enough and can do the job you are set to do, then this is the best one for you. You must have heard of other models from Canon that sport great features and shooting abilities such as the T2i but there are other features that you will find in the 60D that will make your shooting projects easier and equally wonderful.

What Canon 60D can offer you

The Canon 60D has 5.3 frames per second burst speed. Unless you need a faster camera, the 60D is already great equipment for your photography. Some DSLRs have slower burst speed, so this is actually a plus for this camera.

There is also a 9 point auto focus control as well as improved ISO functions for better images and videos. Put in the wireless flash control feature and the 60D clearly outshines the other models.

This is a more that good enough camera for entry-level photographers, and it provides wonderful shots and controls so that you get the quality expected of Canon SLRs. Don’t you worry because it has all the technology that make Canon cameras the leading ones in the market. The light body and cheaper construction of 60D would certainly make a difference, if you are on a tight budget. If you have issues on getting a line straight then the electronic viewfinder is a great help to you. It will help you get that horizon straight!

Canon 60D features articulating LCD panel

What sets this camera apart is its articulating LCD panel. Unlike most DSLRs, the 60D gives you more freedom when you are shooting at odd angles. If you are shooting something over your head, you can really have great use for this feature. Not all cameras have this and you are now given the chance to take advantage of this attribute if you have the Canon 60D.

So getting this camera instead of the higher-end ones will surely get you more advantages as well. It has a portable and lightweight construction with powerful shooting and burst mode capabilities. That is enough for photography enthusiasts out there! So aside from the better camera lighting and 5.2fps continuous burst speed, you also get to enjoy the tiltable LCD if you need to shoot at awkward angles!
