On the 50D, pressing the joystick opened the new Quick Control screen. The mode dial does feature a lock button which helps to prevent unintentional changes to your settings. Less understandable is the controller's design - sitting slightly proud of the circular dial that surrounds it and looking more like a wheel itself, it takes some time to get used to this less elegant arrangement. We grew to like the 50D's joystick, especially as higher-end Canon DSLRs also use it, but we can understand why Canon has implemented a more beginner-friendly four-way controller. The 50D's small joystick that was used for menu navigation has been replaced on the 60D by a more conventional four-way controller, better suited to upgraders from the more consumer-orientated 550D / Rebel T2i. It's a bit of an acquired taste compared to more conventional control dials, but you quickly get used to it and it is easy to spin.
This rear quick control dial is characteristic of all high-end Canon EOS cameras. Like other semi-pro cameras, the Canon EOS 60D offers two control wheels a small one on the top of the handgrip, and a large, spinning dial on the back of the camera. This is fine for novices, but awkward for experienced photographers who want to be able to adjust a combination of exposure, shutter speed or aperture quickly. On more basic SLRs, adjustments are usually made using a combination of buttons and a single control wheel. Owners of the 50D may bemoan the abandonment of a magnesium alloy body on the 60D, but we think that the new model is durable enough to survive day-to-day life, especially as Canon claim that the 60D is as weatherproof as its predecessor, and it crucially places less load on your shoulder during the course of a day's shooting. It's also a little lighter too at 755g (including the battery and memory card) thanks to the adoption of a metal chassis covered with a plastic outer, as also used by the EOS 550D / Rebel T2i. There's a textured area on both the deep hand-grip and around the thumb-rest on the rear of the 60D, and unlike the smaller and cheaper EOS 550D / Rebel T2i model, this camera is well-suited for everyone with normal to large-sized hands. The 60D is almost halfway in size between those two models, and is therefore smaller than the 50D that it replaces, measuring 144.5 x 105.8 x 78.6mm. Instead it represents a new category of Canon DSLRs designed to precisely fill the gap between the consumer level EOS 550D / Rebel T2i and the semi-pro EOS 7D. The Canon EOS 60D is not simply a direct replacement for the 50D with a few extra features. Positioned above the EOS 550D / Rebel T2i and below the EOS 7D, the new Canon EOS 60D is available priced at £1099.99 / €1309.99 / $1,099.00 for the body only.
