16-18mp
6.5 fps
full frame
body like 5D II
quality iso, comparable to what the nikon d700 offers, (hopefully better, that camera is aging)
the af system of the 1d, scaled down to 19 points
$2700-2800 body only
this makes all the sense in the world, and the d700 has proven such a camera can be successfull
(if anything, make these numbers better or the price lower)
people know how to pp out a lot of noise, but taking a picture you know is going to require a lot of work is never fun (or, not as fun as knowing it will be perfect SOOC)
Other than MP and video capabilities Canon is playing catch up to the D700. Those aren't bad specs, but they will almost certainly be beaten by the D700 replacement which will up the MP and add video. FPS & AF seem to be the things Canon is trying to keep exclusive to their 1 series cameras and this simply won't fly anymore. I'm noticing that the Nikon bodies also seem to have better weather sealing across their advanced amateur/professional product line as well. I hate to keep beating up Canon, as I love their bodies and would prefer not to learn a new system, but this is getting ridiculous, the 60D just got pimp slapped by the D7000. Come on Canon!!!
Couldn't agree more. I was beginning to understand the logic behind the 60D before the D7000. Now, i think it is verging on embarrassing...
