I've Been hit with a dilemma, I've been taking pictures with my canon d60 for a few months and although great to learn the basics with, I think it maybe time for an upgrade! I've popped into a local photography shop and played around with the canon 60d and the 7d, I feel more at home with the 60d but I feel the 7d will be better in the long run, but just can't make up my mind, any advice or personal reviews on either camera would be appreciated,
 
Quick answer:

Do you feel you'll benefit from the much better AF system and build quality of the 7D?
Or will the 60D's flippy screen be more useful to you?

(I would say "to 7D!" though, but that's just me because I love mine very much! :love::lol:)
 
What makes you think it is time for an upgrade? What do you feel that having a new camera will achieve for you?

I could easily say one or the other, but it's such a personal choice. There are people on here who love both these cameras.

Is there something on either of them that you think you need or would like?

Sorry I haven't answered your question, but answers to these questions may help you point towards a more informed choice.
 
Do you often need to shoot things that move around quickly (wildlife and/or sports)? If so then you'll appreciate the better AF and faster frame rate of the 7D. Otherwise I'd go for the 60D. Image quality, size, weight, build quality and ergonomics are all too similar to make a significant difference.

You would really keep the 9-year old D60? I reckon it's probably time it were put out to pasture so the OP can enjoy more than 1 fps, more than 3 focus points and all the other advances in technology over the last 10 years.
 
Thanks guys, after having a play with both, I think I've actually made a decision and picked the 7d! It just has a better build feel, also the autofocus is unreal it's so fast it's silly!! Thanks again for all the advice, much appreciated.
