Key Advantages
The Canon EOS D60 offers high image resolution of 6.3 megapixels suitable for professional prints and cropping flexibility. Its compatibility with Canon EF lenses provides extensive creative control across focal lengths and apertures. The camera's magnesium alloy body ensures durability and professional-grade build quality. Multiple metering modes enhance exposure accuracy in diverse lighting environments. The provision of both RAW and JPEG image formats supports advanced editing workflows. Finally, the rear LCD screen enables clear image review and intuitive menu operation.
Limitations
The EOS D60's 2.0-inch LCD screen lacks live view capability, limiting composition options compared to modern models. Its USB 1.1 interface results in slower file transfer speeds relative to contemporary standards. The camera has relatively low ISO range (100-800) limiting its effectiveness in very low-light situations. Continuous shooting speed is limited to approximately 3 frames per second, which may not suit fast action photography. Battery life is modest, requiring frequent recharging or spare batteries for extended use. Autofocus system with limited focus points and less sophistication than modern DSLRs can reduce speed and accuracy in complex scenes.
