The Canon EOS 60D scores a 47/100 in our evaluation. Announced on August 26, 2010, this DSLR camera was launched at a price of $1199. With dimensions of 145 x 106 x 79mm, the camera weighs 755g or 1.66lbs. Considering its age and current market competition, the EOS 60D has decent specifications but struggles to keep up with newer models. Despite this, the camera still has value for those looking for a budget-friendly DSLR option.
The optics of the Canon EOS 60D receive a score of 43/100. This camera features 18 megapixels, a shooting speed of 5.3 frames per second, and a CMOS sensor. It is equipped with a Digic 4 processor, a DXOMARK score of 66 for the sensor, and an APS-C sensor size. The lens mount is Canon EF-S, but the camera lacks image stabilization. The aspect ratio is 3:2.
When comparing the Canon EOS 60D’s optics to current market offerings, it falls short in some areas. The absence of image stabilization can lead to less sharp images, especially in low-light conditions or when using longer focal lengths. Additionally, the 18-megapixel resolution is lower than many contemporary cameras, which may impact the level of detail captured in images.
Despite these limitations, the Canon EOS 60D remains a viable option for those seeking a reliable camera with decent optics. The combination of a CMOS sensor, Digic 4 processor, and Canon EF-S lens mount provide ample opportunities for photographers to capture quality images in a variety of situations.
The Canon EOS 60D receives a video score of 43 out of 100. This camera offers Full HD video recording with a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The highest frame rate available for video recording is 30 frames per second. However, it lacks built-in time-lapse functionality.
In comparison to other cameras in today’s market, the EOS 60D’s video capabilities may not stand out, as many cameras now offer 4K resolution and higher frame rates. The absence of time-lapse functionality further limits its appeal for videographers looking for advanced features.
Considering the video capabilities, the Canon EOS 60D may not be the top choice for users prioritizing video recording. However, it still delivers reliable Full HD video performance for casual users and photographers who occasionally record videos.

The Canon EOS 60D receives a storage and battery score of 45 out of 100. This camera is equipped with a single memory card slot, accepting SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards. In comparison to other cameras in today’s market, having only one memory card slot may be limiting for photographers who require more storage capacity during shoots.
As for battery life, the EOS 60D offers 1100 shots per charge with its LP-E6 battery type. This amount is quite impressive and can cater to the needs of most users. However, the camera lacks USB charging capabilities, which could be inconvenient for on-the-go photographers.
Taking these factors into account, the Canon EOS 60D’s storage and battery offerings are satisfactory but not exceptional. There are areas for improvement, particularly in storage capacity and charging options, to better compete in today’s market.
