A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

Although some smart people write that the supposedly inconvenient control is nonsense, after 350 it is unusual at first, and then you steer them without looking. Yes, the buttons were moved, but I got the hang of it right away. For comparison, the Nikon 7000 has much more difficult control. I took it and looked like a sheep at a new gate for a long time)))
Fortunately, finally everything comes to a single standard, there used to be CF, SD, MS, XD, and some other incomprehensible cards, but fortunately everyone switched to SD as a single and correct standard. This card is easy to insert into any beech, into a pocket small card reader, which allows you to download photos almost anywhere. It can be bought at any store at an affordable price, unlike CFs, which have skyrocketed in price as antiques.
In fact, to the question of choosing a SLR. The matrix is ​​the same for 60, for 600, for 550, and for 7D is the same - 18mp ISO 100-6400. The photo quality is the same for everyone. Well, in fact, the choice is more aesthetic and in ease of operation and some other features. I personally liked the 60D, I think it’s quite normal, although they could have done better. 7D, although stronger, but the price . what is better to take 5D mark2 from hand.
In a nutshell - took and satisfied.

Pros

Convenient management. The display is additional on top, which makes it more convenient than the 600D. Choice of RAW quality: L-RAW, M-RAW, S-RAW. In fact, 10Mpix M-RAVA is enough for me)). Archaic CF are finally gone, where they are dear. Good video quality, the ability to set manual shutter speed and aperture on video (what you need for staged videos). In fact, having bought 1 device, I get a camera and a video camera that shoots better than we put amateur-level HD cameras (15-30 thousand), compared with those that I kept. The swivel display is a very necessary thing for me to shoot in extreme conditions. The LIVE VIEW mode with magnification allows focusing much more accurately than by eye, which gives a second life to old Zenith and other manual lenses.

Cons

The plastic case is made of not very durable material, it creates a feeling of insecurity, although it successfully passed the crash test and my trips. The display needs a protective film. You can’t shoot a video for more than 12 minutes, sometimes you forget at weddings. Another negative is, of course, the blocking button and the video mode is too far.
