Review: New Feature Canon EOS 60D DSLR Camera

After performing a facelift, as the successor to the EOS 60D 50D present a very little connection between them. EOS 60D is a camera that is almost entirely new, in terms of equipment and performance. In reality in the market, the existence of the 50D is always questionable. EOS 50D is still less popular when compared with the EOS 550D, which compete in the entry-level class and is equipped with more modern features, in addition to lower prices. On the other hand when compared with the EOS 7D that has a larger body, the existence of the EOS 50D is still far from expectations.
