@Mark: Thats true, just thought the same thing. I think we are now in the period of “end of May/early June”… So anything new on the release date?

tick tock, tick tock, tick tock… still waiting for any updates/news/release info on 60D … this is worse than waiting for Apple to release info on the iPad.

What’s the best guess as to the 60d US release date?

I am debating the 7d versus the coming 60d…any thoughts on which one to buy?

also sensor and A/D converter read out time, i dont think it can be a continuous output, must be discrete kinda something.

Sony has just switched their stand on in-body stabilization. Their latest NEX offerings all make use of OIS in the lenses.

So, you can forget about IS in body for future Canon/Nikon camera bodies.

Seems that the T2i/550D is selling ‘poorly’ in Japan. See April sales in BCNRanking. Earlier Rebel models achieve more than 20% market share in the first half year of release.

Japanese companies tend to pay a lot of attention to the demands of their local market.

I am sure Canon will look into this.

Not sure what the Japanese market wants. But if it’s lower pixel count, then, we may see a reversal of the megapixel race, much like the G11 vs G10.

The 60D should have a smaller form factor, not too small though: something similar to the D90 is probably fine. And they may want to consider sticking to 12 to 15 MP on the APS-C sensor if that’s what the market wants.

I hope this 60d is almost as good as the 7d…

It is not as easy as most people think. If you pick 2X2 from the Bayer sensor, you will have red, blue and green within that 2X2. What color should it be after binning?? You can pixel binning a Foveon sensor without wrinking an eye, Due to teh sensor has three layers and each layer is all the same color

Who cares if the chip has a 4 or 5 printed on it, as long as the camera takes pictures (and shoots video). I would not count that as a feature.

GPS?
Articulating screen?
Some video function or other?
