Used 60D or new 650D/T4i?

I've always shot RAW on t2i, and as such, I do not expect any improvement in final RAW IQ with T4i... or 60D or anything that uses the same sensor.
If I was forced for some reason to buy a crop body right now, I would buy the Nikon D3200 for $699, which includes the 18-55 lens unlike the body-only T4i for $849.

Surely that depends alot on what he's after, the Canons offers quite a few specs beyond the Nikon(AF, FPS, VF) and to make the most out of those 24 MP I'd guess will need lenses that arent longer range zooms like the 15-85mm/16-85mm.

25% of videos is A LOT. That alone should push you toward the 650D.
Anyway, new sensor and new processor are also quite an interesting upgrade. It's safe to assume that IQ will be a tad better. Just wait a bit for the price to drop to an acceptable level.

Well, most of that "25% video" comes from family events, e.g. trips to Disneyland, hanging out in the home, etc. Not really circumstances that would make video AF vital. But I do take a lot of video during those family events. Last time we went to Disney, for example, I took about an hour's worth of video, and only maybe twenty or thirty photos. Still, I don't see myself putting video features above photography features.
When I go on hikes or camping trips, I hardly take any videos at all. That's where the "75% stills" come from. I take TONS of photos during my outdoors trips. For those trips, the ratio flips completely to 99% stills, 1% video (if I take video at all). Typically the only videos I take during my outdoors trips come from my GoPro (I do a lot of extreme sports, e.g. skydiving, bungee, etc.).
As for price dropping, I don't know how much further the 60D could drop. It certainly won't drop below the T4i, and it's already only $50 more expensive.

The 650D has a new sensor and a new processor, I don't see the point of buying a 60D. Neither does Canon, as the 60Da suggests.
I meant to wait for the 650D's price to drop. Around Xmas it should be ok.

Christmas is too late for me. Ideally, I'd like to have a DSLR in my hands by the end of the month. July at the latest.
EDIT:
Bloody effing hell, only a 6-shot buffer on the T4i?
