Of the 3 boxes you find of course the important modes for a knowledgeable photographer, ie: AV modes, TV, Manuals, an effective shutter speed of 1/4000 for the 550d, while the 60D and the 7D allow 1/8000 ... You have the three, the mode for long exposures "BULB" ... which may prove very useful .. (sometimes ....). For a photographer, the other modes are relatively very little used.
There are of course, AUTOMATIC modes that will appeal to beginners who want to have fun !!!
On these 3 devices, we have a very efficient processing of information with the new DIGIC 4 engine.
DIGIC 4 550d has only two channels. While treating him 60D has 4 channels (4 channels), and he n 'there is no less than two DIGIC 4 processors to meet the power-intensive information processing, the 7D ...! !! ...
The shooting frame rate is not just there to make good on these 3 units: it can be very useful to have access at rates of over 5 frames per second .... The 60D and 7D offer these high rates !!! .. but he already has good possibilities with 3.4 frames / second of 550d.
Far beyond the technical data, remains the ability of a Case restore color accurately and provide many complex settings on the matter. These three boxes are all three very effective in this area !!! and can be a priori aligned on the same starting line of a race for performance ... The 60D, the 550D and 7D, often faced in comparative, and indeed have skills on some points close enough . But there are all the same factors CONSIDERABLE which must be considered when choosing !!!
The 60D and 7D are both "guaranteed" for 100,000 trips ... (This is, to my knowledge not the case for the 550 D ... yet the 500D and 450D were guaranteed for property 100000 trips) ... A value less innocuous than it seems and is also the guarantee of a certain quality of construction.
But now, preamble truce, just in the 60D: the purpose of this Commentary.
Why the 60D is a remarkable device you ?? Why can we desire you buy 60 D ?? :
Because this is an extremely well thought out case,
Because it is beautiful !!! , Beautiful forms much more than the 50D !!!
For its excellent ergonomics and durability,
for its quality of construction,
Because many people affabulent on the ability of a box to résiter everything! (There are multitudes of photographers who traveled the world with guns or A1 AE1, eos 650 or 600 of the days of the silver and did not have boxes of "armored"!, Or the Tropic ... boxes that comparisons with the 5D Mark II are featherweight.
Because, this is 30 years that Canon makes me happy!
Because the 60D is GOOD! And even exceptional in terms of analysis and color rendering, shades and contrasts.
So I have made many adjustments and tests and have been very pleased with the high quality of restitution of hues, and the good management of saturation. A device that offers a faster image rendering as you wish, as you dream, as you are looking for, .. .. .. according to well understood settings.
Bravo for its measurement of exposure of 63 areas.
(Exposure compensation, which is through the wheel is very fast, well thought out, "just" and successful !!!)
Congratulations also to 60D for its growing Iso, very well managed up to ISO 3200 (beyond better to stay at around 3200 and count on stabilizer "IS" or the lens or willfully make a "sub ex ", or simply have very steady hand, so if possible and thus indeed prowess in low light !!!
Bravo: For the accuracy of its colimateurs 9 AF cross !!! AUTOFOCUS remarkably accurate!
For its handling copy hand, when his deputy BG-E9 handle !!! Of course ... because with this is paradise!
I like the 60D, because it is more robust than the 550D, is less clumsy than the 7D ...
Because it takes us all the same !!! 5.5 the second image!
Because compared to 50 D, the grip is much higher ... yes! to use .. you will see!
Because put in situation, one notices! we see, but he knows to be discreet, sober appearance, but still very beautiful! And it is modest in size, more moderate than the 7D.
, Ergonomics.
For his very clear viewfinder with a magnification of 0.96 X!
In the good old sound trigger that reminds us of antans reflex! it's chic !!!
In its report "size-poid- power" .. it is more discreet and handy for example a Nikon D300 that with the air of a blunderbuss beside, yes! the Nikon D300 is a "Blunderbuss" ...
For its aim pentaprism!
Because at 850 euros is already a "very good deal" ...
Because the criticisms him are ridiculous !!! next to these actual performance on the térrain !!!
Because one SD card is small, handy !!! and that's a very good idea that the 60 D uses the SD card !!! and again the location for this SD has been completely redesigned !!!, the hatch has been well studied again not to suffer a strong grip !!! For to use, and over time, the 450D, 500 and 550 D, this hatch that is placed on the handle, so the cash handling, the préhenssion that one of these may end up breaking !!! (this is one of the major design flaw (xxxD).
Also because by buying the 60D, you will have the pleasant sensation of not taking neither the biggest nor the most expensive, BUT YOU MAKE A REAL CHOICE! that of having chosen a device that gives you much of anything !!! a device that properly used will please you !!! with this little satisfaction for not necessarily taken nor the largest nor the most expensive, but one you will use "can be" to "MAX" of its real possibilities (and not just theoretical), so to have chose what you expected! at least that's what makes me me decide !!!
And if some "videographers" repprochent relatively weak, the ongoing implementation Focus, 60D, ... they just have to stay on the 550D or Nikon pass or even take the Canon 5D Mark II. (some episodes of the TV series Dr. House seems they'll have been shot abec a MarkII).
The Mark II is heavier and ... simply, it is much much more !!!
Although with a manual focus the 60D delivers Full HD beautiful !!! .... It seems it was all the same designed for photographers first c .. !! is a camera !!
I appreciate this approach in Canon, which clearly gave the 60 D very many asset but has made clear choices and compromises on "target heart" for this device ...
"The best imaginable camera, but with a studied price! Compromises yes ... yes, but no, under the certain and undeniable quality of the photo !!! facet of this device."
The EOS 60D: a great camera !!! offering everything one can dream !!! photographer ... the rest is for me .. .. .. qu'anecdôtes and videos ... (well we must laugh a little .. ..) Some way of seeing things, in short .. .. ..
START SMALL ADDITIONAL UPDATE ON MY COM (after one and a half), Lo, now some time that I use the 60D .... to improve the records of your images at once with the 60D:
a) Explore the adjustable menus and functions and clear: the "auto lighting optimizer" ... rendering images will be impressive natural and you still win the electronic noise level (less noise !!!).
b) I will say that with 63-zone exposure metering can be for an experienced photographer ... "" capricious "" in terms of contrasts priority area.
Soon, you'll probably see that 63 areas measuring expo, it can often become an unfavorable factor! and you will get through it sometimes rendered "medium" and sometimes disappointing in terms of accuracy expo.
So especially not Hesitate "you go" of this measure on 63 areas. Emphasize again the good old "MEASUREMENT CENTRAL WEIGHTED" !!!! with the "eternal" Exposure compensation + or Your results will of course !! higher !! (The old way, in fact!).
c) Of course, with the correct possibilitée live your shots through viewing your shots with the precise screen 60D, often you will be notified strong, disengage in MANUAL MODE, MANUAL MODE n The ... has never been so smart with these ultra technological devices! Indeed, in real time ... because everything is resettable !!! and it would be a shame not to make a small exposure metering by measuring the exposure and then switch to manual mode to optimize rendered at leisure! Certainly, it's more work, from work on térrain .... but what results.
d) Well, do not hesitate to regularly use half measures sensitivities such isos 1250, or 2500 isos, it can have many gains and benefits, but of course, it also increases sometimes in doing The picture challenge ...
e) after a year and a half and more than "10000" .... clichés on the clock, I confirm the excellence of the Canon 60D, as I have often seen users 7D and 5D Mark II, show off "their" toy "," ... but believe me or not, in a situation ... I trigger faster and better positioning and faster on my topics! Thus, the overall inertia of 60d grants it sufficient weight to give him a few fractions of a second and won a sufficient stabilitées ... and you enter a situation where the user or a heavier device flexes ... Sometimes. Do not tell me where I tell story is the seen and experienced. I've seen amateur photographers and pros tergiversser or be exhausted by the weight of their aircraft at the end of shoot. Thus, the 60D will not exhaust your neck ...! ... ...
Good photos at all! with this super decidedly 60D!
