I am satisfied, the purchase is quite successful.

In general, I'm satisfied. I started thinking about 60k, after a review about it in Digital Photo by Boris Muradov, he praised it. And then I saw it in the nth store for 29500, and decided not to pull it, borrowed money and bought it, I didn’t regret it (a week later the price rose again to quite average), it’s quite an adequate option to switch from entry-level lines. Only for autofocus it's a shame.

Pros

Fits well in the hand, convenient menu. Probably, the swivel display can also be attributed to the merits, but who cares, for a professional, on the contrary, this is a minus to the class, but I think for a "semi-professional" - why not. Quality. The picture is very pleasing. I really lacked quality at high ISOs, and after 450d, 800, 1000 and up to 1600 ISO, they opened a second wind. Ergonomics is certainly interesting, but still it's a matter of habit. Although, I probably agree with the reviews about the wheel on the rear panel - it is female, what can I say, it will be inconvenient for a male photographer for sure. And what I write about the inconvenient location of the photo delete button is nonsense, what is the left hand for? For me, it's completely convenient. Another pleasing option is the ability to choose the method of numbering photos when shooting.

Cons

Autofocus. Maybe, of course, I am biased in my opinion, but still, I just can’t understand: is the 60d autofocus system inferior to 450d ?! I can't believe it, but practice proves otherwise. Focus is very slow, hesitant and takes a long time to think in medium-low light. Button to select the shooting mode. It's probably not even a disadvantage. It's just a useless thing, the mode wheel still turns when it's not necessary, and when it's necessary, and you need speed, it gets in the way.
