18 MP CMOS sensor
Ideal for those who want to create large, poster-size prints – or crop images without losing any of the detail necessary for printing – EOS 60D’s 18MP CMOS sensor is outstanding in low light, and produces images with incredibly low noise.
Advanced creative features
Use your imagination to enhance your stills with a range of creative filters such as toy camera effect or soft focus. These filters can be applied to RAW and JPEG images giving you creative control after the shot has been taken. Basic+ allows you to apply a creative ambience, when shooting in the Basic modes, giving you creative control without extensive photographic knowledge.
Vari-angle 7.7cm (3.0”) 3:2 Clear View LCD
Perform detailed checks on images and video or shoot unique or awkward angles with a 7.7cm (3.0”) 3:2 Clear View LCD screen, which features an ultra-high 1,040,000 dots for increased clarity. Switch to Live View mode and use real-time visual feed to help capture the best angle.
Full HD movie recording
The EOS 60D combines exceptional still shooting with the ability to shoot Full HD (1080p) video. To satisfy your creativity the EOS 60D features full manual control and selectable frame rates. You can also shoot high speed 50/60fps movies at 720P for when the action is really fast. An HDMI connection allows High Definition playback of footage and images on any HDTV. With HDMI enabled TV sets playback can be controlled using the remote control.
DIGIC 4
Canon’s DIGIC 4 processor works with the CMOS sensor to deliver 14-bit image processing, for smooth gradations and natural looking colours. DIGIC 4 also powers advanced Noise Reduction when shooting at higher ISO speeds, plus split-second start-up times and near-instant image review after shooting.
High ISO for low light
When light levels fall, the EOS 60D offers an ISO range of up to 6400 – expandable to 12800 for those environments where using flash is undesirable.
iFCL metering system
A 63-zone dual layer metering sensor analyses Focus, Colour and Luminance information, providing accurate and consistent metering.
Quick Control screen
Accessible using a dedicated button it provides easy access to commonly used functions, ensuring that you are ready to take the shot as it happens.
Create a shooting system as unique as you are
The EOS 60D is compatible with Canon’s full range of EF and EF-S lenses and EX-series Speedlites.

not a good idea to buy such a high price item from Hong Kong as your come back if you have issues is virtually zero
Should have looked a bit closer.
Total customs value: £615.00
Import duty: £0.00

"An import handling charge has already been included in the above price. There is no further import tax/duty to pay."

I never did work that out you know... I bought a battery grip and lens from them a couple years ago and they had the same info about duty being paid as part of the price. Yet both items were still kept back from me until I paid the tax on them?/?
Regardless, I don't use these types of company for camera gear now. I get the cheapest price in the UK. That way I know the tax is fully paid up and that my warranty is intact. Its just not worth risking it to be honest.

In their terms they mention that they will pay up to 200% of the amount they charge on the DR site for import duty if you are charged on receiving it, it could be a long boring process but at the end of the day you will get the camera for the price advertised, you might just have to be out of pocket for a few weeks while they refund.

.... and the Royal Mail add on £8 for their services too.
you must add 20% import duty!
But you will pay 128.39 VAT. which gives 770.35 as the landed cost.
Use Duty Calculator to find out
Note there is duty on lenses as well as VAT.
personal choice I guess. I shoot with a 60d and 17-55 2.8 as a walk around. works really well for me
I think my Sony lens was sent as a gift so there was no duty. Anyway, you only pay it if some customs officer bothers to look in your parcel.(_;)
