Canon EOS 60D Specification

Canon has unveiled the EOS 60D mid-level DSLR, replacing the EOS 50D. However, following the launch of the EOS 7D, the 60D has been repositioned in the market, so isn't a simple upgrade to its predecessor. Instead the 60D is a smaller camera featuring an articulated screen and plastic body shell and utilizing SD memory cards. It combines the 18MP CMOS sensor and 1040k dot 3.0" LCD from the EOS 550D (Rebel T2i) with the AF system from the 50D. Meanwhile it gains the 7D's HD movie capability.

Key features

• 18MP APS-C CMOS sensor
• ISO 100-3200 (expandable to 12,800)

Canon PowerShot S90

Canon launched the last in the line of its S-Series compact photographers' cameras, the S80. And though you can see traces of the S60/S70/S80's DNA in the S90 it is a very different beast to those cameras; the S90 is smaller, sleeker - and in many ways more sophisticated, but it's lost the optical viewfinder and the lack of anything to really get hold of will undoubtedly impact on handling.

Canon PowerShot SD4000 IS First Look

Canon's recently introduced SD4000 IS becomes the latest compact digital (and first Canon ELPH) to employ back-illuminated CMOS sensor technology that promises enhanced imaging performance in the form of increased sensitivity and low noise. Long-time Canon watchers may have wondered why a company that has traditionally almost always increased resolution in their latest cameras would choose 10 megapixels for an ELPH that moves right to the front of the mid-range Canon lineup, at least from a price standpoint.

Canon EOS 550D review

The Canon EOS 550D is a difficult product to categorize. Ostensibly designed to appeal to first-time DSLR buyers and enthusiasts, it offers a lot more technology, and at a higher price, than we might expect for a camera aimed squarely at this sector. Although it might seem logical for the 550D to replace the EOS 500D, the older camera is set to continue in Canon's lineup, which leaves the 550D pinched between its entry-level (represented by the still-current EOS 1000D and the 500D) and nominally enthusiast (the EOS 50D) peers. Confusingly however, apart from build quality (which is all but identical to the EOS 500D), the 550D has more in common with the prosumer EOS 7D, and - perhaps even more confusingly - it out-specifies the EOS 50D in many areas.
