its image quality is really good and, considering that the camera is now made with a plastic shell, it still feels robust and well put together. If Canon would just lower the price by $150 or so, then I’d say this was an ideal upgrade to those users with a Rebel camera
The 18 megapixel CMOS sensor and expanded ISO range produce virtually no visible noise at all from ISO 100 all the way up to ISO 1600, with even the three faster settings of 3200-12800 producing perfectly usable images. All other image quality aspects are up to Canon’s usual high standards, so top marks go to the 60D in this department.
while the 60D aims for casual shooters, it offers near professional – or should I say near-7D – capabilities and quality, making the 60D a highly recommended DSLR for anyone who just want more than an entry level model but does not need a professional tool

Quick Guide: About Sensor Channel
Sensor Channel are the output data lane from sensor… 8 is better than 4 since it can transfer more data at the same time….The faster the camera can get the data off the sensor the faster it can fire the next shot.. resulting more fps (frames per second) in continuous brust/shooting mode.
From past few days HOT rumors coming >> No more 1Ds Mark IV ??<<
Now what left in our hand is 5D Mark II….to make 5D flaghip camera Canon have to improve metering systems of current 5D, Weather sealed Construction, improved Battery life/size and a bit more Ergonomics like 1ds model.
CR and NL also talking about the upcoming medium format camera of canon…
It has recently been suggested to me that there will not be a 1Ds Mark IV at all.
The 5D Mark III (or whatever it’s called) will be aimed to take over the market for 1Ds user………
……………The same person says it’s possible that a new camera at the top of the lineup aimed solely at the medium format market, but not a medium format camera, will come to fruition. The design will be a radical departure (possibly modular).
A bit more info (thanks) on the follow up to the 1Ds3. The tight link between the 1D and ‘Ds’ versions is likely to be broken. The top camera will no longer be a 1D with an FF sensor/shutter/viewfinder, and is likely to have a different name.
Canon is aiming at competing much more with medium format.
