Pricewatch Deals / Re: D10 Amazon Lightning Box Deal.

D20 has hd video, which is far superior to the sd video on d10.
I had d10, but sold and bought d20. Although I will say in my eyes, the d10 had better stills.

Well, on Canon's site, the refurbs are not on sale anymore.
How often do they put  them on sale?

Only micro adjustments on 7D matters. I never need this function on my 60D, because I do tests when buying lens.
 Don't listen if someone tells 60D is plastic. That's rediculous! there are no plastic SLRs - they all are metal inside.
60D is the best Canon choice for video. You can use Magic Lantern on it, but not on 7D.
Your lenses are too big and heave for crop, I''d advise to go for 5Dm2. so 60D or 5Dm2 - my Imho.

As much as I would like to get a 5dm2, it would not meet the wife approval factor on cost since we are in a recession....

ISO on either 7d or 60d has to be better than 10d?

I had a 20D when I upgraded and the 50D was a better choice for the budget and the IQ.  The 60D came out and except for video, it did not offer much beyond what I had with my 50D.  When the 7D came out and it offered 8fps for my sports shots, I went for it.  I guess I'm saying 50D or 7D if you are looking at stills and 7D for video.  Refurbs are 15% off at Canon right now.

I saw that it is 15% lower now, new camera line must be coming out soon.
Decision, decisons...... The 60D would be so cheap with 15% off plus I have  old g2 I can trade in.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Upgrade from 10d to 60d or 7d

I was thinking I need upgrade to get higher iso on newer body.
I was going to get a refurbed, but is the extra 300+ worth it for 7d?
I have 17-40L and 70-200 2.8 is lenses.

I guess my action pictures will be of marching band in HS.
I am weary of 60d focusing if it behaves like the 10d focusing, where it is zoomed out,
it picks wrong object?
