Lists are flying in now
Below is a spec list of the upcoming 60D as told to me this AM.
Specs
– 18mp
– ISO 6400 Max
– 9AF Points
– Articulating LCD
– New Menu System
– Movie mode like the 7D
All very plausible.
thanks to everyone

Huh? You mean Canon is coming out with a new 17-85 IS USM? I thought the 15-85 was its replacement.
iso 6400 is more than enough for me, its make me embarce the use of slow speed n high aperture lens
Would back you up on that one. I can only hold a camera with one hand [my right] and have found Canon Rebel ergonomics better for my needs than either Nikon DSLR or Canon xxD. But I would go for a slightly larger body and grip with better build quality and viewfinder any day. The hinged LCD would be a very desirable extra, especially if it were convenient for waist level viewing.
Mah I had not apreciated the arrival of that :/
15-85 it is :)
Jason, I would consider myself a “purist” but I don’t knock articulated screens. Whilst I can see the advantages you detail, I would say that kneeling/laying on damp peatland grass is even better example of the benefits of these screens!
Rocky, I too like articulated screens. I’m also old enough to remember some of your examples but I rather think the reasons the 6×6 Rolleiflex had a WLF were cost, convenience, and the weight of a large glass prism – and especially the square format! [try a vertical shot with a Nikon F with WLF!]. Of course the articulated LCD gets round these issues making them very useful.
Hutjeflut, I do think your suggestion of different versions has merit, but I fear the result would be that both versions were more expensive.
