Coming this fall
A different 60D spec list. I've heard from this source previously. I'm going back into the depths of the CR email archive to see what they've said in the past.
15.1 megapixels
ISO 100-25600
7 fps
Digic V
Movie-mode: 1080p with 30 and 24fps
build in GPS for geo-tagging
only a SD-card slot (no CF)
148x109x75mm and 738g
From the email: “rest like VF and display still the same like 50D. Just some buttons are on other positions and have other functions.”

personally I agree, however, the D300 is definitely Prosumer over consumer
Yeah, an addition of SD on the Macbook Pro line would have made too much sense. I’ve been considering a 13 inch Macbook for dirty field video editing, but only the pro line had Expresscard, so I was thilled when they made the 13 inch a part of the pro line until I found out they yanked the Exresscard slot from them all to put an SD card in it’s place…now it’s back to a PC laptop.

If the expresscard was the ONLY reason why you wanted to buy a Mac for video editing… sounds to me to do not know what is video editing…
Come on guies. Video or photo editing is NOT only about transferring files from your camera to the computer but, and more importantly, about what you can do, ONCE transferred. ON that point, Mac is simply not comparable to PC and far better.
If the only difference you can make between Mac and PC is the SD slot… stay with PC.
You got me there. Had no idea video & photo editing was not only about file transfers. Also I didn’t know wanting HD component and HDMI input and realtime output and hardware acceleration of editing full HD video meant I dont know anything about editing video. So tell me, where is the SD card that can give me realtime HDMI and component HD video in/out as well as HDMI HD realtime monitoring? Where’s the SD storage card you can edit full HD files off of like you can on Expresscards?
Any decent PC laptop can do these things as they have Expresscard slots, but now Apple has decided only amatures buy Macbook Pros for their point and shoot SD cameras, so much for being better. I’m sure Matrox who makes a lot of pro video hardware for the Mac via Expresscard is just thrilled over this sour Apple move too – and while they used to be Mac only, their latest product works with PC’s now, hmmmm – dont think that’s a coincidence given Apple just screwed them over by pulling Expresscard off their Macbook Pro line.
I have also held back on getting a 50D because of the noise issue. And I, too, couldn’t care less about movie mode.
The one thing I’d like to see would be a greater range of exposure compensation. +/-2EV is just not enough! Even +/-3 would be a big improvement.
It seems Canon might be locked in a feature-war though, so I’m doubtful I’ll see these things anytime soon…
