Can you believe what seems like forever, a refresh of the xxD line up for Canon has finally been announced! The 60D has just come crashing into your computer screens and will be in store shortly. What I think are some really strong points for the camera is the swivel screen, price, and new ergonomics for the xxD line. What seems to be pretty standard on all Canon Dslr is 1080p video, the 60D is packed with could be the same AF system as the 50D, and same sensor as the 7D(Only guessing at the moment since there is no test shots available). What is very new for the xxD line is now its a new body construction, no longer is it a magnesium body, this time around a aluminum body with a plastic shell.

The word on the street that there is problem with Canon’s 7D where it will show during burst mode it will show the preceding frame. I have not seen this myself when shooting with the 7D, but i have not done alot of shooting with this camera. Phenomenon In images captured by continuous shooting, and under certain conditions, barely noticeable traces of the immediately preceding frame may be visible. This phenomenon is not noticeable in an image with optimal exposure. The phenomenon may become more noticeable if a retouching process such as level compensation is applied to emphasize the image.
