Overview

The Canon EOS D60 is an early digital SLR introduced in 2002 featuring a 6.3 megapixel CMOS sensor, delivering a maximum image resolution of 3072 x 2048 pixels. It supports Canon's EF lens mount, allowing a broad range of interchangeable lenses for versatile photography. The camera offers TTL (Through The Lens) metering with 6-zone evaluative metering along with center-weighted and spot metering modes. It supports shutter speeds from 30 seconds to 1/4000 second, providing flexibility for various lighting conditions and motion capture. The EOS D60 features a 2.0-inch rear LCD screen for image review and menu navigation. It uses CF Type I or II memory cards for image storage, and supports RAW and JPEG file formats, catering to both amateur and professional post-processing needs.

The body includes exposure modes such as Program AE, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, Manual exposure, and a realistic Scene Modes selection. White balance customization includes auto, predefined presets, and manual settings. Autofocus consists of a 3-point TTL secondary image sensor system enabling accurate subject tracking. The camera's construction is robust with a magnesium alloy body contributing to durability. Canon EOS D60 employs USB 1.1 connectivity for file transfer, which was standard for its release period.

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.
