Revainrating 5 out of 5

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

When choosing a camera, I chose between Canon 60D and Nikon 7000. According to all the reviews, including the review on the well-known site, the choice indicated Nikon 7000, in fact, I intended to buy it, but . A friend (works as a salesman in an electronics store) gave the ability to calmly test both cameras, since the card for both cameras is the same. And here a “but” opened up . 1. Nikon didn’t lie down at all in his hand, the feeling was that he was about to fall out, and Canon sat down like a glove; 2. According to BB, both cameras showed almost the same result, Nikon was a little better, but in a difficult situation, both options will have to be corrected; 3. In terms of noise, a not at all pleasant picture of Nikon 7000 is inferior to Canon 60D up to ISO 2500, after Nikon shows a slightly better result (but I repeat a little better), but this happens due to a drop in image resolution and the output turns out that Canon is at ISO3200 -6400 is a little noisier, but the detail and color do not fall, while Nikon has lower noise, but the detail drops more and more noticeably (when you increase it to 100%, it looks like gruel). And most importantly, when shooting on Canon in RAW at ISO from 3200-6400, they are easy to eliminate during processing, and then all Nikon's advantage disappears. I was amazed, I was not too lazy and downloaded test shots in full resolution from both cameras from a well-known review site and became even more convinced that my conclusions were correct. It is a pity that sites that have achieved authority in the world are starting to sell their authority . hard times have apparently come. Well, okay, I'll continue. 4. Regarding ergonomics, I can say that Canon seemed more convenient to me because all the functions of the camera can be controlled without looking up from the viewfinder (drive, ISO, focus areas, AF, WB - you can program the "set" button), Nikon has some buttons on the left and without looking up it is not possible to click on them. Yes, Nikon is bigger and heavier, but he has a shorter grip handle and his fingers scrape along the body. 5. Canon took a fast and accurate focus from 50mm f \ 1.8, Nikon did not make even one at least close in sharpness with Canon's half-point on the whale.

Pros
  • Quite compact, not too heavy (I know that weight can affect blurring, but still I consider the lightness of the camera a plus), fast autofocus, capacious battery, swivel display, excellent LCD resolution (you can really appreciate the quality of the photo taken), reasonable price, rate of fire, working ISO up to 3200 (in my opinion), I haven’t noticed the front-back focus with my lenses, including Soviet ones, the availability of Canon accessories or their analogues.
Cons
  • 1. Removal when rotating the LCD monitor to the side; 2. The mirror claps quite loudly; 3. There are problems with the BB with incandescent lamps; 4. Not convenient on / off; 5. The cover of the memory card creaks; 6. Slow focusing in Life View mode
