No I don't agree here. I have handled both 60D and 7D, as well as my old 40D before. Yes, initially, I don't really feel that much of a different, but when I was lugging them around for a day... the difference came in, I can actually feel the weigh and it is not pretty... maybe that is just me. And maybe I should stick with PnS and let the man handle the heavy stuff.
Anyway, there are other things in the 60D that is favourable...
Such as
1) Adjustable Auto ISO limit (which I am wishing that Canon had include in my 7D)
2) Better metering system
3) slightly bigger (I admit not much of a difference here) frame coverage in the viewfinder
And yes... like many had mentioned, Canon had very good marketing scheme, so many are taken by their words and go into 60D rather than to get the rocking 50D... just like they have very good marketing scheme, to get people buying the 50D while the then still rocking 40D.
Everyone had their preferences, and I find the update in the 60D worth the money... and like I have mentioned, what I especially like is the swivel screen and the weigh (which is just right). Plus the excellent movie mode, great ergonomic, better noise performance (when compared to even the 7D and 50D).
So if I was to choose... of course the 7D would still be number 1 (except for the heavy weigh), then the 60D... if budget is a problem, I would go for 600D (a good second hand copy should not cost that much) or a 40D (if TS could find a good copy).
