The Canon EOS D60 is a discontinued 6.3 megapixel digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera body, announced by Canon on February 22, 2002.[1] It is part of the Canon EOS range, and accepts Canon EF, TS-E and MP-E lenses, but not Canon's later digital-only EF-S lens range.

The EOS D60 sits in the prosumer (professional-consumer) line of digital SLR cameras.[2] It succeeded the three megapixel EOS D30 and was replaced by the improved, six megapixel EOS 10D.

In America, its initial pricing was US$1,999 for the basic body, or US$2,199 including battery, charger, and DC kit.[1]
