Canon EOS-D60 6.3MP Digital SLR Camera
The EOS D60 is highly advanced, yet features like autofocus, auto exposure, and a built-in flash make it remarkably simple to use. And since it integrates seamlessly into the EOS system, you can pursue your most creative ideas without limitations. The new Canon EOS D60. Digital photography is finally worthy of its name.
Resolution and
Optics
With 6.3 effective megapixels, true photographic
quality has finally been brought to the digital
domain. A huge 22.7 x 15.1mm imaging area is the
first advantage you'll notice. But behind it,
Canon's CMOS technology is providing high-level
signal processing and an array of noise reduction
improvements that rely on very small amounts of
power. So you can do more with less. Plus, two
filters -- a hybrid infrared filter and an RGB
primary color filter -- put vivid, accurate color at
your fingertips.
Sharper images. Wider tonal range. Virtually no color bleeding. Thanks to the D60 onboard Digital Signal Processing (DSP) chip, you're in control -- not the camera. And the best part is, it's fast. Image data flows from the CMOS sensor at blazing speed, unhindered by signal noise and other garbage. Which means you have more latitude to crop, enlarge, or retouch pictures with minimal deterioration and superior results.
Some of the best photographs in the world have been missed while the camera processes previous shots. Not with the EOS D60. We improved the memory buffer so that you can shoot 8-frame bursts at 3 frames-per-second and get the highest-quality JPEG and RAW images without waiting for images to load. The result: fast-moving action scenes as easy as a still life.
Sometimes you want the convenience of a JPEG image. Other times, you need the maximum image qualitythat only a RAW file can provide. With the EOS D60, you no longer have to decide in advance! Every D60 RAW file contains an embedded 2048 x 1360 JPEG file that can be extracted instantly with the supplied driver software. You can still set the camera to shoot JPEGs only with up to 6 variations in resolution and compression, but no matter what format you choose, the final picture will be clear, crisp, and accurate. And uniquely yours.
Improved
Autofocus
We're always improving the technology behind our AF
systems, and with the D60, you get to enjoy the
benefits. Exceptional low light performance, right
down to EV0.5. An improved laser matte screen for
easier manual focusing. Superimposed, illuminated AF
points for framing and focusing. And manual or
automatic focusing point selection. Like most of our
advancements, it's all based on the opinions of some
very important photographers: our customers.
Improved Shutter
Release
Get released from slow shutter release. With the D60
we not only significantly reduced lag time, we
stabilized it as well. So the shutter release is the
last thing that will mess up a perfect photo.
Digital noise at slow shutter speeds up to 30
seconds, which can degrade image quality
significantly with conventional digital cameras, no
longer requires a custom function to be reduced with
the D60. And when digital noise is under control,
you're in better control of what you want the camera
to do.
Improved
Viewfinder
You'll see it as soon as you bring the camera to
your eye. A much improved viewfinder--not to mention
every piece of information you'll ever need, from
aperture to shutter speed to exposure level to flash
ready status. And you'll be able to monitor the
number of shots you have left at the maximum burst
rate, see focusing points illuminated, and more.
It's all neatly organized and extremely intuitive,
and right there in front of your eyes.
Eleven Shooting
Modes
No matter what the subject or the situation, the EOS
D60 has it covered. Eleven different shooting modes
can be selected -- all from a single convenient
Command Dial. There's a fully automatic Intelligent
Program AE mode, Shutter Priority AE for action
shots, Aperture Priority AE to favor depth of field,
and an automatic depth-of-field mode. You can also
choose from Programmed Image Control modes for
Portraits, Landscapes, Close-ups, Sports Shots, and
Night Scenes. Manual control is also an option. From
up close to far away and everything in between, the
D60 is the choice for choice.
Three Metering
Modes
Lighting can make or break a photo. The D60 puts the
odds in your favor with three different metering
modes to handle even the trickiest light situations.
The 35-Zone Evaluative Metering analyzes the entire
scene and bases optimum exposure on the main
subject. Partial Metering is limited to 9.5% of the
picture area, identified by a circle on the focusing
screen. And Centerweighted Average Metering averages
the entire picture area with maximum emphasis on the
center. Plus, Canon's E-TTL (Evaluative
Through-The-Lens) flash exposure control adds a
high-tech advantage for accurate lighting. In other
words, with the D60, you won't be afraid of the dark
-- or the light.
Four Shooting
Parameters
Not many cameras allow you to improve your shots
before you even finish taking them. But with the
D60, sharpness, contrast, color saturation, and
color tone (flesh tones) can all be emphasized or
de-emphasized according to your preferences --
during the initial image processing. Preferences can
be saved, too. It's just one more way to give you
more creative control up front, and one less thing
to do when you're done.
EOS Integration
Since the D60 is fully EOS compatible, you'll have
access to the same lenses used by professional
photographers and amateurs alike. Get closer, with
the world's widest selection of autofocus lenses,
from ultra-wides to super-telephotos. Or get a
better look, with macro lenses designed for close-up
shooting. Whatever your needs, the Canon EOS system
has the tools to let you express yourself. The only
limit is your imagination.
Comprehensive
Flash System
Whether you're after true point-and-shoot style
flash photography, or more advanced lighting, you'll
find it in the D60. The built-in pop-up flash is
automatically triggered when needed in Full Auto
Mode, or you can choose to turn it on or off
yourself. Red-eye reduction, wide-angle coverage,
and slow sync can be used. Plus, the D60 features
Canon's exclusive E-TTL Flash, which instantly
analyzes dozens of criteria and adjusts the flash
accordingly. A flash of brilliance to say the least.
