The Canon EOS 60D is not simply a direct replacement for the 50D with a few extra features. Instead it represents a new category of Canon DSLRs designed to precisely fill the gap between the consumer level EOS 550D / Rebel T2i and the semi-pro EOS 7D. The 60D is almost halfway in size between those two models, and is therefore smaller than the 50D that it replaces, measuring 144.5 x 105.8 x 78.6mm.
