Plenty of stamina here indeed.Дesign-wise and the 60D has changed a fair amount over its previous 50D incarnation. Whether shooting stills, video, using live view or playing back images and video the overall battery life meant several hundred shots and numerous video clips could be shot while not even nearly fully depleting the battery. One thing you certainly wonвЂ™t be worried about is battery life however. Holding the camera steady, zooming while maintaining focus and subject tracking are all tricky to master due to the layout inherent in the DSLR design and the contrast-detection autofocus system that can easily over- and under-focus on subjects noticeably in final capture. Although technically of great quality, thereвЂ™s the on-going issue of manual control that all DSLR cameras suffer from (not just the Canon by any means). Exposure can be controlled in any shooting modes, and autofocus will only action upon pressing the AF-ON button on the cameraвЂ™s rear to ensure fuller control.

With a similar feature set to the 7DвЂ™s Full HD 1080p capture, thereвЂ™s the choice to shoot at a 30, 25 or cinematic-like 24 frames per second too. As the 60D is around ВЈ1000 itвЂ™s disappointing that this figure isnвЂ™t higher, but itвЂ™s very much in-keeping with the rangeвЂ™s heritage.ДЄs most up-to-date releases come equipped with HD video capture, this is one area that the 60D excels in. ItвЂ™s very common for DSLRs to have 95-98% coverage, with a full 100% field of view the ideal figure for exact вЂњwhat you see is what you get shootingвЂќ. In real terms this means that some 4% of the image youвЂ™re composing in the viewfinder wonвЂ™t be visible at the edges but will be captured in the final frame. All this doesnвЂ™t come with any expense to quality: the 3-inch screen has a 1040k-dot resolution (thatвЂ™s just over a million dots) that shows a great level of detail and colour reproduction.ДЄbove the screen is the 60DвЂ™s viewfinder that offers a 96% field of view coverage that is marginally increased over the 50DвЂ™s 95% offering. Even for those unlikely to use the 180 degree horizontal and 270 degree vertical angling to their benefit, it is possible to turn the display into the camera body for safe stowing when not in use. With so few advanced DSLRs offering such a feature this will certainly please many. ItвЂ™s the vari-angle screen thatвЂ™s the jewel in the 60DвЂ™s crown.

Move into live view and the 60D relies on contrast-detection based autofocus system that, although far slower than when shooting using the viewfinder, provides a decent coverage across the cameraвЂ™s screen for focus in all but the outermost edges. As the pre-flash fires multiple times itвЂ™s far from discreet. Also on the downside is a move to using pre-flash rather than continuous light from an AF-assist lamp when attempting to focus in darker-lit scenarios. If itвЂ™s not broken then why fix it? But with models such as NikonвЂ™s D7000 offering a 39-point AF system for more advanced subject tracking, it seems as though thereвЂ™s still room for improvement.

ItвЂ™s fast in use and the outermost AF points remain suitably sensitive even in lower light. The same nine-point AF system features which does benefit from every point being cross-type for enhanced sensitivity in both portrait and landscape orientation.

Those hoping for a more advanced autofocus system will see that thereвЂ™s no update over the previous 50D model.
