The Canon 60D has been officially unveiled. The new EOS 60D features an 18MP CMOS sensor, in-camera RAW processing and Full HD video capture. The 60D is also the first DSLR from Canon that features a fully articulating LCD, which is a 3-inch LCD with a 1.04-million dot resolution.
The Canon 60D will capture 1920 x 1080 resolution video at 24p, 25p or 30p. In 720p resolution, the 60D captures 50p or 60p frame rates. In addition to manual control for video, the 60D also includes manual audio levels in 64 steps, akin to the recent firmware updates for the 5D Mark II.
The Canon 60D should be available in September at an initial retail price of $1099 for body only, or $1399 with an included 18-135mm IS USM kit lens. Check availability on Amazon.com.

Canon has produced yet another ridiculously high-MP APS-H sensor. This time, it’s a 120MP CMOS sensor measuring 13,280 x 9,184 pixel.
Back in 2007, Canon had a 50MP sensor in APS-H format. Of course, we have yet to see anything close to this megapixel count in any full frame or smaller sensor DSLR.
Of particular interest in Canon’s announcement though is that the sensor “also incorporates a Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) video output capability. The sensor can output Full HD video from any approximately one-sixtieth-sized section of its total surface area.”
Can we get a rumor check on that Canon 1Ds Mark IV?

The Canon SELPHY CP800 carries an initial retail price of $99.99. Check availability on Amazon.com.

Canon has announced new all-in-one photo printers in its PIXMA series, the MG8120 and MG6120.
The new printers feature Canon’s Full HD Movie Print, which allows users to print individual frames from movies captured on compatible EOS and PowerShot cameras. The PIXMA MG8120 also features a built-in Film Adapter Unit, which aids in scanning old 35mm slides and negatives.
Both printers feature six ink takes that provide a max color resolution of 9600 x 2400 dpi, and can churn out a 4×6 print in 20 seconds. The printers are also compatible with iPhone and Android smartphones through Canon’s Easy-Photo Print application, which is available in the iTunes App Store and the Android Market for free.
The Canon PIXMA MG8120 carries an initial retail price of $299.99, while the MG6120 is priced at $199.98.

Canon has announced the EOS 7DSV DSLR, which is being dubbed as the Studio Version of the popular EOS 7D. The new 7DSV features four levels of locking camera controls geared toward school and event photographers. These locking controls allows an administrator to set up the camera and prevent an operator from changing critical settings, such as in school and event portraits.
Additionally, the Canon 7DSV features the Canon Barcode Solution, which allows customer, organizational, patient or other data to be embedded into the EXIF data of each image. Ultimately, this barcode functionality should be a boon to large organization or event photographers looking for help on the backend of file organization and management.
The Canon 7DSV Studio Version kit includes a firmware modified version of the Canon WFT-E5A, which can be used in conjuntion with a barcode reader to manage image and customer data via a wired connection. However, it is possible to work wirelessly using the Canon BU-30 Bluetooth adapter. Existing WFT-E5A units can be modified by Canon to work with the 7DSV in this functionality.
The 7DSV kit with the WFT-E5A carries an initial retail price of $2599, while the 7DSV body alone is priced at $1829.
