thanks for swift the replies guys


i will of course be waiting until Bryan has reviewed the 60D before i
buy anything - and i'm also willing to see what the prices of the
550D/60D/7D will actually be, after things have settled down a bit.


of course AF microadjustment would be awesome on the
60D - and i really do hope that Canon will listen to their customers,
and add this feature via firmware! removing it from the 60D just seems
plain dumb, as there is much more which differentiates the 60D form the
7D


Sheiky, you're right about the Sigma 30mm 1.4... out of my lenses, that is the one which i notice focusing issues with


as
for those of you who are suggesting i go for the 7D, i have no doubt
that it is a superior camera to the 60D. however, some of it's extra
features do not seem to be as important to me (as a 450D user), such as
the 19 AF point system, pro weather sealing, 8fps shooting - especially
when balanced with the increase in cost and size/weight. (although, i
have yet to hold a 60D in my hands to compare the difference to the 7D)
