The EOS Canon
60D offers a range of high-end features – the 18MP CMOS sensor that delivers
great images, a 3:2 aspect ratio vari-angle 3in screen with an impressive
resolution, refined and logical handling characteristics, and robust aluminum
construction.
For the action
photographer, the spec may look a little conservative, with only 5.3fps and a
9-point AF system. It would be nice to see a slightly faster frame rate, but
that said, we still manages to capture a decent amount of our golfer’s swing,
and it will carry on shooting for 50 consecutive JPEG shots before the buffer
slow down, while 16 RAW files are achievable at the same rate.
The AF points
are laid out in a diamond formation, with quite a bias to the centre of the
frame. All the AF points are cross-type, and in Al Servo mode (Canon’s term for
Continuous AF), the 60D performed very well – tracking the horses as they came
down the course, allowing us to fire off a series of pin-sharp shots.
