With the 60D at $900 who would buy the t3i?

Although I had the same thought, at least, I'll give a comparison of prices.

The T3i body only is $799, with 18-55mm IS II Kit lens $899

The 60D body only is $899, I did not see a Canon kit with the 18-55mm IS, so there is no equivalent.

The 60D dropped in price since it has came out, expect the T3i to drop, or the 60d to rise.

A new Rebel comes out every year. If you try to keep current, after three years you could have bought a 5DII (almost), which is only replaced every three years. Buy the 5D series, it's a better deal, and when you upgrade, your old camera still has value used, so the upgrade cost is maybe $1200 every three years.

As I often say, I absolute love my 5D MK II, but a person with a good eye can certainly take a image with even a point and shoot that will exceed the most expensive camera in the hands of a person like me who just loves technology and tools.

Here is one from my non photographer wife with her Canon 720 IS. She just wants to point and shoot, but she sometimes finds great scenes.

Maybe someone who finds the 60D just a tad too heavy?

By the time you put a lens etc on it's about 2.5 vs 2.8 lbs. If Canon had a pancake lens I could possibly see an advantage for compact size/weight in a T3i package.

Every camera has it's advantages, and you can get great images with almost any camera. But you'll get better images more often, and in a wider range of conditions, with a DSLR.

She caught a very nice moment!

It depends what you mean by better images. Better content, or a sharper image. Content is what makes a image valuable. Technical sharpness is very nice, but content is what sells a image.

I got the 60D and is very heavy. I can still return it. Should I take the t3i? Are the 60D features a lot better than the T3i?

The 60D is much easier to use, if you use the more advanced features, manual settings etc. If you use it like a point and shoot you'll be fine with the T3i.

If you want something noticeably lighter try the Panasonic GH2.

hmm? i dont get it. if someone wants to use a dslr as a P&S, why not buy a P&S?

Most Rebels are used as P&S. Three of my neighbors bought them to get better pics, and they shoot on fully automatic all the time.
