It works farpaitement!

Difficult choice of a SLR (Canon, rusk available targets, and without hesitation) after testing a 600D which revealed the incredible potential of Reflex (focus radius speed, precision of focus, very few "failures" in focus and especially expo) compared to compact, which are easier to use but require specific conditions to provide beautiful images. Hesitation 600D / 60D / 7D ... it is not accessible, 600D? 60D? Opt for the 60D: there, it is clear, having had both in hand, the 60D is largely well above ergonomics, accessible controls, viewfinder quality (much brighter, more visible collimators). BUT CAUTION, the basic goal (18-55) is very disappointing, even the 15-85 is disappointing too, even in general felt great! Only the Canon 70-200mm (a loan!) Reveals the true quality 60 D. Sorry, there is unfortunately so. I will sell a ouature for 70-200, otherwise it's not worth it. I FIND THE FINALLY WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR A LONG TIME: In difficult conditions, perfect photos technically perfect expos, accurate focus, focus Power: it works. The "dive" is fabulous, I would call ... 'velvety' even at 100%. BUT do not hesitate: CR2 (RAW), Picture Style Editor and DPP (provided software, a little cheesy but highly effective when we come to understand!) Select central focus, AI Servo mode, Program mode with center-weighted expo. .. and RAW. And 70-200 mm, you are ready. You can crop as you like, the photo is perfect 100% magnification. Admittedly, I missed almost all my pictures the first time ... yeah, pass the compact / SLR is very very rude, change all his habits. Once we understood the bazard, one is amazed. Anyway for catches of wild little face 15 m. Radius Landscapes, very difficult for APN, I have not tried good goal.
I find it very difficult to really know BEFORE (tests on the Web are still "good" or "excellent" ... for all devices, in fine). Only the grip personal, an active amateur, reveals the actual capacity of the camera in difficult conditions. That is why I give this to average user opinion, something I do very rarely.

CAUTION PASSAGE IN COMPACT REFLEX is puzzling. It is much easier to get good pictures usual or rare, with a compact, without much bother and the pictures are good. But after domestication, we understand that this is a Reflex ANOTHER WORLD. You can then "manage" all the essential features of the photo, for example, "bokeh", ie the background: beautiful blur finally, not too absent, or too present, and especially not grainy. Well, I must stop ... 60D? Oh my God!
