Sold!

Today I sold my Canon EOS Rebel T2i (550D). I had it for over a year, and I figured it was time to move on to bigger and better things. Don't get me wrong. I love the T2i, but it is a cheap, consumer-grade, plastic piece of poo compared to many other counterparts. I only sold the camera's body, as I am replacing it with a Canon EOS 60D, and wish to resume the use of my "leet-sauce" lenses.

There are many reasons for the upgrade, regardless of how minuscule they may be. The 60D has a pro-grade body. It is sturdier, stronger, heavier, more weather-proof, and there is less thin plastic used. It handles both heat and cold better, and has many more functions, both physically and internally.
It has manual white balancing, a built-in level, and many more features that I find desirable. All of these features are non-existent in the T2i.

One of my hobbies involves skateboarding photography and videography. I have a beautiful 8mm fisheye, and a top handle cradle for my camera, but can't effectively use either because I can't see what's on the screen. The addition of a flip out screen allows me to do this.

Anyway, with the upgrade to a 60D, I am investing in a camera that will last me longer, and will better serve my needs. The reason I didn't originally purchase the 60D is an annoying one. They released the 60D within a month after I purchased my T2i, and I was unable to return my T2i with the deal I got on it. I suppose I could have sold it, but I didn't.
