For those who are interested Landscape Photographer Nick Rains got his hands on the new Canon 60D and gave it a test run in Sydney and just put up a blog post on his thoughts.
You can check it out on this link
The camera is due for release within the next 30 days. So those thinking of buying a 50D hold off.
Our latest product on display in our gallery is our new raw Tasmanian Oak frame.
Now available on all our images, preview in our main gallery with our framing feature.
They look absolutely stunning.
Pictured image is Bondi Paddle Boarder EB102.

i read it earlier today, hmm im still sticking with nikon lol, but if they don’t bring out a new full frame camera by the end of the yeah im gonna make the switch i think 🙂
I think it is time to start moving all digital SLR cameras over to full frame.
Hmmm … no mention of high ISO performance, which is a bit of a concern, and I’ll have to disagree with you Matt about the articulating screen – personally, I’d never buy a DSLR that had one 🙁
i hate how camera companies are all into making the camera see in the dark! they should really focus on image quality, or even making a lower range of iso?
but i guess having a camera that can see in the dark has its positives lol
I guess it would be good if you have a sore back Chris 🙂 maybe they have been thinking about all the retirees taking up photography.
The LCD is certainly a great function if you ask me. Shooting in tight places where you can’t actually move around too much the screen would be a great advantage allowing you to compose shots that you wouldn’t be able to do without the screen…
Hi Guys
I didn’t mention high ISO performance because we were obliged to shoot certain things in certain ways on the day, and all in Jpeg mode 🙁
I have a unit coming for review and I’ll be able to have a harder look at the ISO performance (review scheduled for Better Digital Camera magazine in January). I can say this though, based on Jpegs, it looks like it will be the same as in the 7D which is to say it’s about average.
Mitchell – high ISO performance is directly related to image quality at low ISO. Low noise is always ‘good thing’ as it improves the dynamic range of the sensor. In theory a 14bit sensor can capture 14 stops of DR, in practice this is limited by noise to about 11-12 usable stops.
Chris – the articulating screen is one of those things you don’t miss until you have used it. It acts like a normal LCD screen if you don’t want to flip it out as it reverses its position to sit screen out, but folded away. Folding the screen inwards protects the face. I see no downside to this.
Cheers

Hi Nick – point (well) taken, but I’ll still continue to be a 5D Mk II snob until I see it in action 😉
There is no snobbery involved, the 5D MkII is the superior camera, no question, but at a superior price since you do get what you pay for. I reckon the 5D MkII hits a sweet spot of price/features but the 60D is pretty good for the money.
How about a 5D MkIII with a tilt screen, now there’s a thought…
Hi Nick – no argument about the relative price points of both cameras … but a 5D Mk III with a tilt screen – then I can see me hanging onto my Mk II for a long, long while, but then again, if Canon included the 1D Mk IV focus system and frame rate 😉
