Sample Photos,Introduction,The Canon EOS 60D represents the middle of Canons SLR lineup, but it is a top-notch camera in terms of performance, handling and flexibility. We found that it had excellent color accuracy and took sharp images, although the 18-135mm kit lens that Canon sells with it has some issues.,Product Tour Summary,Large, slightly heavy camera body,Two points,Lots of buttons & dials on the camera body,Front,Back,Sides,Bottom,Top,Color Summary,Diagram,Color Score Comparison,In comparison with other cameras, you can see that the 60D was the winner by a significant margin, outscoring even the more expensive Canon 7D and earning a higher score than the Nikon and Sony cameras.,Resolution Summary,18-135mm zoom lens has low distortion,Add Your TeImages are very sharp at the center of the frame,However, sharpness falls off sharply at the edge of the frame,Very wide dynamic range at low ISO values,Chromatic Aberration,Chromatic aberration is caused by the elements of the lens diffracting colors of light differently, causing a colored fringe at the edge of objects. We found that there was some aberration going on with the 18-135mm lens, especially at the wide and telephoto ends of the zoom range.,Sharpness,the 60D was capable of capturing very sharp images, but that this was let down somewhat by the performance of the 18-135mm zoom lens that Canon bundled it with. We can tell this because the sharpness in the center of the frame of our test photos was very high, but the sharpness at the edges was much lower. Basically, the 60D is a camera that can capture very sharp, clean images, but the included lens lets it down. If image quality is critical to you, buy the 60D without a lens and spend the money you save on buying some better lenses.,Image Sharpness and Chromatic Aberration,Shooting at the wide end of the zoom range, we found that the images were sharp in the center of the frame across the aperture range, but the edges of the frame were a different story: they were rather soft at both the widest and smallest aperture. There was also a noticeable amount of chromatic aberration in all of our test images at the edge of the frame.,Image Sharpness and Chromatic Aberration,Things were a little sharper in the middle of the zoom range, but there were still issues, with the images taken at the smallest aperture being rather soft.,Image Sharpness and Chromatic Aberration,At the long end of the zoom range, we found the same issues as above with slightly soft edges leading to a loss of detail, especially at the smallest aperture.,Sample Photos Summary,Statuary Sample,Focal length: 18mmAperture: f/4.0Shutter: 1/320ISO:100,Shot in Aperture priority mode, this shot of statuary in the Mt Auburn cemetery shows the level of detail that the 60D can capture: the fine details of the weathering on this statue are well captured.,Sample Photos Summary,Low Light Sample,Focal length: 18mmAperture: f/3.5Shutter: 1/15ISO:3200,For this shot of one of the more atmospheric crypts in Mt Auburn cemetery, the camera was set to program mode, where it upped the ISO to keep the shutter speed reasonable for a hand-held shot. The cost of this is noise: the image has very noticeable noi
