At the heart of the EOS D60 lies the newly developed CMOS sensor. 6.3* million effective pixels provide an image quality that is hard to beat. The low-pass filter configuration has been modified to countermeasure red ghost outline that can occur in digital cameras. The firmware has also been completely revamped resulting in a considerably shorter shutter-release time lag and a quicker startup from power off. But not only the inside has been upgraded, the black outer case with metallic accents gives the camera an extra touch of class.

The EOS D60's full-frame viewfinder contains a new super- imposed display as found in some of the higher-end EOS analogue SLR cameras. The partial metering circle and the illuminated AF points are now both visible in the viewfinder. As is information on shutter speed, aperture, maximum burst during continuous shooting, CF card information, exposure level, flash information and autofocus confirmation. More information and custom settings can be found on the full colour illuminated LCD, which also allows you to zoom in on your images. The EOS D60 features six different JPEG compression storage modes as well as a RAW image storage possibility for advanced image manipulation

The shooting options on the EOS D60 are vast. Ranging from fully automatic mode to total manual control. Semi-automatic modes like portrait, landscape, close-up, sports and night scenes are available as well as the more advanced program AE, aperture priority AE, shutter priority AE, and depth-of-field priority AE modes.
