Canon 60D vs 50D

Differences of Canon EOS 60D to Canon EOS 50D

Placing the 50D alongside the 60D it becomes clear that the new camera is not a simply a direct upgrade but a repositioned model. The most obvious difference is that it's smaller and, of course, no longer features a metal body.

• Accepts SD, rather than CF memory cards
• No flash sync socket
• Wireless Speedlight control
• Articulated 3:2 high resolution LCD screen

• Standard ISO range extends to 6400, rather than 3200
• User-definable Auto ISO upper limit
• HD video recording 1080 p30/25/24 or 720p60/50 plus cropped 640 x 480 movie mode
• New features: in-camera raw conversion, ambience settings, creative filters, more JPEG options
• No joystick, no multi-flash support, simplified top plate & info panel, only one Custom mode, no AF micro-adjust
• Slightly reduced customization options
• Redesigned control layout with slightly fewer buttons
