Looking to upgrade to the suped up rebel, canon 60D. Is it any good??
Tonight in fact I'm going to use my (new) D7000 along side my D3s to do video/photography for an event (paid work BTW). The D3s for stills only and the D7000 for supplementary stills and supplementary "artistic" video (along side my Canon XF300).
60D's AF isn't that great and the body is a bit weaker. It does have the flippy screen thingy though...
Controls on the D7000 are easier too (from what I've seen/heard/experienced of the 60D vs the D7000).
I just thought, I need to go charge some more batteries for tonight... bye.

Yes - I still have the 60D. Yes I would still buy it as I got a lot of camera for the price - it is well worth the investment. I'm currently pricing out a 7D for the next upgrade but the 60D is worth the intermediate stop. It handles high ISO setting with little or no noise. Battery life is exceptional and the controls and operations are easy to learn. I do have a small problem with moisture and the controls on the back of the camera. My hands get sweaty if I'm shooting out in the heat and sun of Florida. I also am taking it from air conditioning into humidity which causes a similar problem. I intend to keep the 60D as a backup camera once I move up to the 7D.
I've looked at the Rebels after owning the 60D. There is a definite improvement with the 60D. The swiveling LCD comes in handy also.
Also I bumped up this thread...

I'm not saying the 60D is bad, but it's funny how people compare the Nikon D7000 to the 7D more than they do to the 60D
Unless you're doing a lot of video, the flippy screen isn't worth bothering with IMHO. I haven't had a camera with a flippy screen since the Canon G2.
Dude, get the D7000 the AF alone is worth it over the 60D. If you insist on Canon, go the 7D.
