Why would anyone upgrade from a Rebel Series to the 60D, seriously who??? it would make sense to go directly to the 7D more now than ever as the prices are dropping. The 7D was had at launch date for 1999, now 1500!


Canon, please say it ain't so!



Seems like Canon downgraded it specifically so that people would jump to higher end models. And they also profit if you buy the 60D; cheaper to build, same starting price (as 50D, etc).
