Canon 60Da Review
Canon 60Da Review
Canon launches EOS 60Da for astrophotography: for stargazers
The ACK-E6 AC adapter is supplied with the camera to enable it to operate independently of the battery. The RA-E3 remote release adapter is also included in the box. This allows the connection of the optionally available cable remote release with timer function TC-80N3. This allows interval shooting, even with long bulb exposure times, to be programmed. However, it is also possible to connect the camera to a computer (Mac or PC) via USB and control it using the EOS utility software. The photos are then displayed directly on the computer screen.
The other equipment corresponds to the normal EOS 60D. These include the swivel and foldable three-inch screen with a resolution of over 1 million pixels, including the LiveView function, the Digic 4 signal processor and an ISO sensitivity range of up to 6,400 and 12,800 respectively per extension. The Canon EOS 60Da will be available from the end of April 2012 at a price of just under EUR 1,400.
