The right product for me, there were no problems.

I never turned on the photo mode, VDSLR-specialists will understand me, this budget model is made especially for us who choose an affordable option, instead of the expensive 5D Mark II. Perfect for filming staged video. Buy lenses no higher than F1.2, 1.4, for wide-angle F2.4. My optimal focal lengths for shooting with primes are 14mm, 35mm, 85mm. On a crop, this will be the equivalent - 22.4mm, 56mm, 136mm, that is, the most common viewing angles.

Pros

The 60D should be seen as a continuation of the 550D, not the 50D. I bought 60D for the sake of VDSLR, that is, for the sake of shooting video. Full HD 1080p. The swivel screen is indispensable for different angles. The case is made of good rubberized plastic, moisture protection. It lies comfortably in the hand, but it is not recommended to shoot video by hand, you need to buy a tripod with a hydraulic head (fluid head), if you practice professionally, then a rig (rigmann) in addition. Compact compared to semi/professional camcorders that can change lenses.

Cons

Strong Rollin Shutter (rolling shutter) on video. Since the video needs to be shot on fast fixes, in which there is usually no stabilization, its absence in the 60D practically excludes handheld shooting. The report certainly needs to be filmed from a tripod. Working ISO for video in ascending order: 160, 320. ISO 640 is already a stretch. For video, you cannot use ISO 100, 200, 300, 400, etc. because of the noise.
