60D
Dave Dugdale and I started our respective blogs around the same time. And over the past almost 2 years, I’ve really enjoyed doing interviews together (remind me to have him on for a friday episode one of these days) and watching his reviews.
Recently, Dave has been doing Canon HDSLR camera comparisons. And now that he has a few out I thought I’d share them with you. And if you haven’t visited his website check it out, he has several tutorials and reviews for those getting started in the wonderful world of HDSLRs.

B&H Has listed the Canon 7D at $1,500!
Even with all these other cameras coming out, I am still a huge fan of my 7D. The pro level body and features have proved themselves time after time. And if another camera ever comes out that rivals it, I know the 7D has a great resale value. So take advantage of this great deal!
Also Check out the 60D rebates and the double lens rebates are back!

I had a chance to play with a 60D for a little bit last night and was very surprised by its build quality and the flip out screen. But for those who have not worked with one my good friend JJ Kim has shot a review showing in detail the differences between the 7D and the 60D. He also goes through the menus. For more of JJ’s videos check out his Vimeo channel and his website.
Things I noticed:
- I am liking the audio control increments, and while dual system sound is still going to give you the highest quality, the in camera audio is going to be nice.
- ISO Range is the same. After working on sets with the T2i, I really appreciate my 7D’s wider ISO range. Good to know the 60D is up there too.
- While the flip out screen is nice, adding a viewfinder may pose a problem. Last night we tinkered with the 60D and a Z-finder and the LCD-VF neither fit perfectly and the Z-finder seems like it was a little heavy to be use while the screen was out. Something to consider.
- The 60D has less buttons. But I love how all of the buttons are on the right side. This means as a shooter we can access all controls with the right thumb and forefinger.
UPDATE:
JJ has shot a second video sharing more info on the 7D vs the 60D. Check it:

We have been hearing all over the web that the newly announced Canon 60D is quite similar to the 7D. But before any of us jump to conclusions we, should heed this great article by Dan Carr. Dan clearly lays out the differences between the two cameras, and brings to light important details that are easy to overlook. This is a must read for those on the fence considering purchasing one of these cameras.
