The product did not disappoint, the quality pleases.

The 400D wins in terms of picture not so much, but in terms of ergonomics - a huge step forward (two wheels, an upper display, direct parameter control buttons), so for me this is a new level. As far as I can understand regarding modern *00D models, there is no difference at all in the picture, but for me, in any case, ergonomics and ease of control would be the decisive argument when buying, because in many respects this is what determines the pleasure of working with the camera.
The next step for me is only a full-format matrix, on which the picture goes to a new level.

Pros

I switched from 400D for objective reasons, namely I wanted to (basic): - Two control dials; - Larger and brighter viewfinder; - Larger ISO range; - Top display with shooting options. All this, unlike the 400D, is available in the 60D. Two control wheels - very convenient and not only in M mode. The top display is also a very useful and convenient thing. The matrix quite masters ISO up to 2 thousand. Moreover, I’ll also write down the advantages - good video recording (in the days of the 400D I didn’t even think about video .), Q-menu (there wasn’t such a thing on the 400D, but later it appeared - an exceptionally convenient thing), wireless flash control (for me Speedlite 430 EX).

Cons

- Not a full frame sensor, lol; - Indeed, very demanding on lenses (aperture and sharpness); - The display, its mother, strongly distorts the picture; - Selecting an AF point requires pressing a button (but then there are already 4 options to choose from - rotation of any of the wheels, navipad, or the center button - to select the center point); - Not ideal ergonomics for video shooting.
