Should I wait for Canon 60D or go ahead and buy Canon 550D, anticipating that the faster AF and havier weight of 60D will suit me better? How long should I have to wait? ;p
Thanks, travel often and using point and shoot Lumix now, need a better cam to record the many beautiful places, so no hurry as I want a good buy, unfortunately do not know how to share some of my photos at this time.
Thanks but the reason we wanted a much better cam is to catch some once in a life time scene eg jumping dolphins in a fast moving boat and we already have the reliable lumix for our long hike, anyway weight is not a problem to me and I hate tripod preferring to just lie on the ground and shoot. Like to share some photos but do not know how at this time. With F1 round the corner wander why the 60D is not released. ;p

Answer to 2nd question:
Because the 7D is there to take care of all the fast action shots.
If you are not willing to pack a tripod, and want to take landscape pictures during your hike, i strongly suggest you not bring a DSLR in the first place. A very good pro photographer once told me. 不带三脚架,拍什么风景照?If don't bring tripod, how to take landscape photo?
Ok this is the 2nd time I see you saying this to advice pple on tripods haha.
Maybe TS stronger than you leh, can handhold 30 sec exposureAnd I will say it many many more times.
Bring camera, bring lenses, bring this and that.. on a trip where you want to take in the beauty and shoot landscape... Shoot nice pictures... But unwilling to bring tripod...:bigeyes:
It is a disconnect.
Most beautiful times of the day is sunrise and sunset. These are the times when you wish you had a good camera if you don't. If brought a good camera with lenses, but no tripod, how to shoot nice landscape pictures during these times? Rest it on the ground? you sure can get good perspective all the time doing that? :dunno:
Want to go, go all the way. Don't go halfway. If want to save weight, then save weight all the way and just bring a PnS or compact prosumer. Even when I save weight and bring PnS, I will also bring a mini tripod.

Anyway I think for landscapes, a lower end camera like 550D should suffice since you'd probably not need the faster controls since you have time to set up. For tripods, there are alternatives, like gorilla pod and stuff, not sure how well they would perform for long exposures but tripods are still the best.
I think you should skip 60D and wait for 70D.
And I will say it many many more times.
