I just posted the first photos I took with my 60D using a Christmas tree...
Here is the link: http://bit.ly/eFdgnT
My thoughts on the 60D after using it for a few days is that it is a vastly more precise instrument then the T2i. The T2i seems more like a blunt object where as the 60D is more precise, surgical and faster in function and form. There are some features on the 60D that I am discovering that were not present on the T2i such as the 2 silent modes. The silent modes are for when you are in a situation where you need to be quiet when taking your photos.
With any new camera body, it takes a while to get to the point where you are truly fast with its operation. It will take me about a thousand shots before I truly master this body. It is definately much different then the T2i and you will need to read the owners manual at least once through.
I am very happy that I upgraded to this body from the T2i. I would say using the T2i to get the job done was like taking a brick and hammering a nail. It works, but its not as precise in form or function. The 60D is more like a hammer then a brick. It seems smoother, faster and more of a joy to operate. The body does seem more durable and easier to hold steady. I have an aftermarket battery grip I purchased shipped directly from China for 60 bucks. The battery grip is a must get because you can get a better grip on the camera for steadier shots and it also adds the capability of using AA batteries in the event your Canon battery goes out. The AA batteries are only meant to be used in an emergency and have a considerably shooter life then two OEM Canon lithium batteries. I will continue reporting back about the camera after using it a few more days.
