    Hi guys, did not know that Canon had released the 60D but apparently its available off calumet's uk site:
    http://www.calumetphoto.co.uk/item/321-349APRE/
    Just wondering, and in light of the current thread about the 7D, what the difference between the 60D and 7D is? I presume they are both aimed at sports etc...

    60D has much slower fps.

    It probably won't be in the shops until Dec.

    I haven't fully reviewed the specs, but I think the 7D would be a better choice for sport.

    Cheers Paul, I guess I will keep an eye on it; some of the specs seem similar enough to the 7D but lower fps would definitely be a negative in this regards. Seems strange that the 60D wasnt released before the 7D though doesnt it?

    When the 7D came out it moved the X0D franchise to a lower value for any more models to come out.
    The 60D has a plastic body like the XX0D models because otherwise it would pretty much be a 7D with a lesser FPS give or take other little specs such as the AF etc...
    A dissapointment Id say :(
