I know, I know...Canon 60D vs. 7D (HELP)

dedduck · Dec 9, 2011

Went to Best Buy on my way home from work today. They only had the 60D there. Played around with it for awhile but wish they had both to compare side by side.

They're both crop sensor cameras and the differences like frames per second, environmental sealing, focus points,etc., etc., will be irrelevant 99.9% of the time.
I would buy the 60D and with the money saved invest in better glass.

Camera bodies come and go but good glass is there for a long long time.

I went with the 7D! Ordered it from B&H on Saturday night @ 6:35pm and with FREE shipping and it has just arrived at my HOUSE! Unreal. 1 day shipping for Free! Kinda helps I am an hour from NYC but man that was fast fast fast! :thumbup:

Will post some shots once i get acquainted with the camera!

You won't be sorry. I have the 7D and it's awesome, I'd take it over the 60D every day. The kit lens is still in bubble wrap though, I won't let it touch my camera. Save those pennies and get some L glass!

Starting to do that now! I just got a bonus at work but that is all going in savings for a house, very temped to take a little bit out and get some L glass though! I better not even think about it...lets pretend this post never happened :lol:

I am borrowing a coworkers 24-105 L glass for a week or 2 to play around with it. I am worried I will like it too much and I will HAVE to buy it! :mrgreen:
