The 60D has 9 AF point all cross type and a 63-zone TTL full aperture metering.You can shoot JPEG or RAW, JPEG sizes range from Large,medium,S1 (small 1) S2, and S3. I cannot fault the picture quality certainly an improvement on the 450D, images appear crisp and sharp. The 60D has many features including in camera RAW processing, creative filters, it has 18 megapixels and takes SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards and has Digic4 processing. The 60D also features a moveable LCD screen which is handy for live view and shooting movies it also folds nicely into the camera and protects the screen when not in use, it also has a LCD panel on the top of the camera which can be illuminated if required.The general layout of the camera and function buttons are nicely spaced and easy to get familiar with. The mode button has a lock on it which is handy it cannot be changed unless you depress the the locking button this stops it been accidently changed when getting it in and out of the camera bag. I find this camera is nicely laid out easy access to menu buttons etc. This seemed to be the best alternative and I wasn't disappointed. I bought the 60D as I wanted to upgrade from the 450D but could not afford the likes of the 7D.
