canon 60d vs 7d

Here's a good comparison between the two: http/snapsort.com/compare/Canon_EOS_60D-vs-Canon_EOS_7D

I'd go for the 60D. The 7D just doesn't have enough advantages to justify the price.

Hello sam171712, I am not deeply concerned with this but whatever I have read about it I want to share with you as follows

1. Dual digic processors cut back slightly on grain at higher ISO

2 19 points cross type autofocus Vs 9. this will give more accurate and faster
focus.

This is what I know about this.

First of all, keep in mind that 600D, 650D, 700D, 60D and 7D have the same CMOS sensor, so image quality will be exactly the same in optimal conditions (Good light, same lenses, low ISO value).

In my opinion, keep your money and don't waste it on 60D or 7D if you already have an aps-c camera and wait until you can get a FullFrame one like 6D or 5D, that is a REAL upgrade.

If you can't wait, then invest your money in something that won't become outdated when years passes by and get some GOOD lenses, 'L' series are just awesome, they're the best investment I've done in photography. L-Lens like 24-105, 70-200, Macro100mm are just AMAZING, believe me, far better than a crappy camera that only offers you less noise and beter auto focus.

Im in the same situation with the 60d vs the 7d and here are some of the reasons why I think im going with the 7D:

1) More AF points and all of them are crosspoints - where as the 60d only has 9 vs 7d's 19 - leads to a better chance of getting proper focus with fast moving objects (aka my kids)
2) faster FPS - leads to a better chance of getting the shot you wanted in burst mode
3) the dual processors may help more in low light (I hate using flash)
4) the tilting screen isnt a big point for me as using it as a camcorder is secondary to pictures
5) More advanced layout of buttons and menu's - gets you ready when you go to a fullframe
6) Micro AF adjustment for lenses (stops lenses from focusing near or further than you expected)- the 60d doesnt have this and from what ive read it can be a game changer depending on the lenses you have
7)Better weather sealing and a sturdier body - take a look on youtube from digital reviews - they have froze a 7d, thrown it down stairs and set it on fire... it still worked

It might be heavier and bigger because of the construction of it, and it might not have the better viewing screen but those other points really helped me decide - also you can find them used with something like 18k shutter actuations(good for upto 150k) for around 700 bucks online.

No 7d Mark II anytime soon!

Angrycanuck pretty much stated everything^^
