The T60 was released in 1990, four years after the EOS system launched, making it an anomaly: a brand-new FD-mount camera in a world Canon had already moved on from. Manufactured by Cosina under contract, the T60 was Canon's lowest-cost entry in the T-series and served markets where FD glass was abundant and affordable. It offered aperture-priority autoexposure and a basic manual mode with little else, and was discontinued by 1992 when FD support dried up entirely.

By 1990 Canon's entire SLR engineering effort had shifted to the EOS autofocus system, introduced in 1987. Rather than abandon the substantial installed base of FD lens users outright, Canon contracted Cosina — a Japanese OEM body maker responsible for several other budget SLRs of the era — to produce a simple, cheap FD-mount body. The T60 borrowed aesthetics loosely from the T-series line but shared little mechanically with the T70 or T90. It was sold primarily in Europe and some Asian markets.
The T60 is notable mainly as the last Canon-branded FD-mount SLR ever sold. It represents the end of a lens ecosystem that had defined Canon's professional and consumer lines since 1971. For collectors, it is the final chapter of the FD story; for photographers, it is a functional if unexciting body that accepts all FD and FL glass. Its Cosina origins mean it is more closely related to cameras like the Nikon FM10 than to any canonical Canon design.
Accepts all Canon FD and FL mount lenses. The breech-lock FD mount means true FD glass (not the later bayonet New FD) requires a partial clockwise rotation to lock. At this late date, Canon's own FD lineup was no longer updated, but the back-catalog of 50/1.4, 28/2.8, 135/3.5, and various zooms all work correctly.
