We made
a quantum leap in digital photography for the site (and our long-time
love of photography) with the acquisition of the Canon EOS D60
digital camera. Photos taken after December 2002 come from the
Canon. Released in March 2002, the EOS D60 digital SLR camera replaced
and significantly improved on the acclaimed EOS D30. New features
include simultaneous recording of both RAW and JPEG images, custom
parameters that can be set and registered on the camera, and new
custom functions which bring the total to 14 custom functions. The EOS D60's imaging element comprised of a newly developed 6.3-megapixel
large-area (22.7 x 15.1mm effective size in a 3:2 aspect ratio)
high-resolution CMOS sensor, an RGB primary color filter, and Canon's
proprietary high-speed imaging engine, signal-processing IC for
a high signal-to-noise ratio, detailed images and faithful color
reproduction. Canon's CMOS sensor permits a broad range of ISO-equivalent
sensitivity settings from the default ISO 100 up to a maximum ISO
1000.
