*UPDATE*
As suspected, this one is busted! I had to post the info or my mailbox would have been jammed up with links to this. I really wanted to resist it, I had hoped another site would post it and have it quashed there. No luck!

CR reader KKL did the smart thing (why didn't I think of it?), he downloaded the file and checked the setup.ini.

[CAMERA_SEC]
menu0=D60

D60 it is.

Soooo.
I've been sent this link about 50 times in the last 24 hours or so. The “60D” appears on Canon Taiwan's site.

This is the only info I have on a 60D coming, for now I'll just call it a typo, we'll see if its still there on Monday.

See here: http://www.canon.com.tw/…

Check the drop down menu.

thanks to everyone

  • The 60D is coming. Canon will delay its release so as not to undermine sales of the 7D though.

  • I don’t know about this one man.
    it is a driver download page.. and the drivers are for win 98/2000/Me/XP..
    we are in year 2010 now…
    there is a high chance that is a typo of D60.

  • My bet is it’s a typo. The page is for downloading scanner drivers, and old ones at that.

  • Sorry for double post
    but i’ve just download the driver.
    It’s a Self extracted ZIP file
    and inside .. here’s the setup.ini

    So i think this one is dead. :(

  • Have to say that I hope there is something to it…

    The T2i looks like a very nice little camera–with little being the problem. Hoping the 60D is the normal XXD size and weight, but gets an improved AF system (maybe a junior version of the 7D with 13 AF points).

  • I doubt we see 60D anytime soon. Possibly August this year. 7D is it and 60D will be for those who want to upgrade from xxxD line.

  • Isn’t it a little surprising to see a $100 rebate on the 7D so soon? I figured no rebate until a year. So could this influence the release date of the 60D? I’d like to see the 7D’s sales numbers, relative to reasonable expectations.

  • came across this image while looking for info on the 550d [IMG]http://omg.wthax.org/60.jpg[/IMG]

  • D60 it is
    emailed Canon TW, (in Chinese of course),
    this is the old school EOS D60 (like D30),
    they decided to keep it up there since there still are (stubborn) ones who still have D60 around and rather than having them bug Canon for softwares etc, they can still download stuff from the site.

  • The link is for a D60,the discontinued SLR. Not a typo, not an announcement for the 60D. False alarm, I’m afraid.
