Canon's early enthusiast DSLR — 6.3MP with DIGIC processor, one of the first affordable Canon digitals.
The Canon EOS D60 was released approximately 2002 as Canon's second digital SLR, following the EOS D30 (2000). The D60 doubled the D30's 3.1MP resolution to 6.3MP while retaining the APS-C CMOS sensor design, and was Canon's professional-grade APS-C DSLR until the 10D superseded it in 2003. Canon EF mount.
6.3MP APS-C CMOS sensor. Canon DIGIC processor. ISO 100-1000. Up to 4.5fps continuous shooting. CF card recording. 1.8-inch LCD. At approximately 785g. Canon EF mount (accepts EF and EF-S lenses).
The EOS D60 positioned Canon to compete with Nikon's D100 and professional film cameras for early digital adopters. The 6.3MP APS-C CMOS sensor established Canon's CMOS approach versus Nikon's CCD-based early DSLRs. The DIGIC processor was Canon's first generation of dedicated image processing silicon in a DSLR. As a 2002 design, high-ISO performance is limited by current standards.
On the used market the Canon EOS D60 is a vintage digital SLR of historical interest but minimal practical current use. Condition checks: shutter actuation count, CF card slot condition, CMOS sensor for dust or scratches, battery health (NB-2LH). Compatible with all Canon EF lenses; note that EF-S lenses are physically blocked on full-frame bodies but the D60 is APS-C.
