60D better sensor than the 7D?

While we can't give a verdict on image quality since it was a pre-production camera we were testing, we can say the 60D fared a lot better than expected at ISO 1600-3200. (See some examples of images we shot on the next page.)

Something is fishy here. The 7D is already a gapless micro lens set up.

Yap, exactly. Even the 550D's sensors has gapless microlenses, I think.

Just to clarify this:
550D same as 7D and 60D all have gapless microlens architecture. The difference (as i understood it) is: The (lowpass)filters attached to the sensor is a minor version used for 550D/t2i and a better one in 7D. 60D however uses the same Filter-solution used in 7D but uses tight to "gapless" sticking (is this the right word?) to the sensor, which itself is an improved 550D-Sensor, regarding light-sensivity.
As conclusion: In theory, 60D-Sensor (in whole) should perform better regarding noise and general performance than 7D and 550D should.
