I currently have the XSI with 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM, 50mm f/1.8, 17-85mm f/4-5.6 , & a Canon Speedlite 430EX. I have around $1500 to spend on upgrades and I need some help. I mostly do portraits, some landscapes, and travel photography. I'm planning on doing more portrait work with family and friends until I get a portfolio built up to set up my own website and make some money on the side. I have no interest in action or sports photography.
I had myself convinced that I needed the 7D but the more I compare it with the 60D I'm beginning to doubt that I need to spend that much on a body. I don't think I would miss the extra 10 AF points or the extra speed. I like the longer battery life on the 60D and that I wouldn't have to invest in new cards, and I think the swivel might be fun. If I go with the 60D I could also get a new prime like the 85mm f/1.8.
Since the Image Quality is nearly identical do you think I would be regretting that I didn't go for the 7D when I had the chance? I won't be upgrading again until I start to make some money and then I would be hopefully jumping to a professional setup.
