The EOS D6000 is the successor to the EOS DCS1, which was marketed in Japan in 1995. Placing the greatest emphasis on image quality, the D6000 is aimed at the top of the professional digital market for advertising and artistic photography.
The camera and digital sections have been integrated, resulting in a much more compact and better handling unit. The new 6 megapixel CCD gives much better color reproduction. It is the world’s highest-resolution digital field camera using a single CCD at the time. Mode setting and dial operations are the same as the EOS-1N, and uses the entire, very extensive lineup of interchangeable EF lenses, making switching from film to digital a snap for EOS users. Immediately after exposure the image can be checked on the 1.8″ color LCD monitor, located on the back of the camera. Continuous shooting at one fps for up to three frames, and quick, accurate, natural-looking E-TTL automatic flash exposures with EX Speedlites are possible.
Two PCMCIA card slots accept two Type I or Type II cards, or one Type III card. The next generation IEEE1394 interface is used for high-speed data transfer.
