Oh very funny! Before I even read your post I jumped over to Canon USA to see if it was listed on their site (not even thinking about April Fools Day). When it wasn't there I hovered over your link and saw "Shortcut to April_Fools%27_Day at en.wikipedia.org". I bet you hook a lot of fish with this one!!!


EDIT


Having read your specsI bet you're pretty close! There are a lot of givens in there but I like how you threw in the DIGIG V :-)

Almost bought it until I saw Digic 5.

WHAT? What's the difference between that and the 7D now? Did the 60d get the 7d's AF?


[:P][8o|][:|]EDIT: you got me there Sean. I actually thought that was legit. *phews*

[Jon Ruyle]

Had me hook line and sinker. Most of that was about what I would expect a 60D to have...

But this wouldn't change anything for me. I still want a 5D Mark II. []
