New and Confused !

[Overread]

What i'd like to see is a '70D' (I know it's the single digit models that get full frame, but canon already stuffed this up with the 7D) that is basically exactly the same as the 7D, but with full frame sensor...now, THAT would be a camera...come on Canon...

It's been done already - its called the 5DMIII. Fullframe sensor with the AF capabilities of the 7D about the only thing it doesn't have is the same FPS capacity, but honestly its pretty darned fast there already. Sadly fullframe pushes the price up on the unit so you won't get a fullframe 7D priced camera with the same spec as the 7D although the new 6D is looking promising

I dunno, the price of a 6D is more than a new 5DmkII. I'd rather get a MkII than a 6D. lol, to address the original statement, I think if you don't plan on making large investments on high quality glass and eventually moving to a full frame camera, the entry level kits should do just fine. Just keep in mind they aren't weather sealed so you don't go running around in a rainstorm with them.
