EOS 60D Stock Levels Getting Low?

Well...so much for waiting for ces for an announcement on the 7/70D and possible release date. Looks like we wont see either of these cameras for another 6months at least. Disappointed isnt the word. Just seems crazy these cameras are from 09/10 and are the current top of the line aps-c, what are they playing at?

Oh well.

7D2 / 70D would go against Nikon's unannounced replacements for the D300s and the D7000.
I think it's becoming a waiting game between these pairs of cameras. Whoever announces first gives the other the opportunity to improve or change their product before making it public.
I was expecting one of them might let the cat out of the bag at CES but there's also CP+ in a few weeks in Japan... Not that that's any guarantee anyone will blink then either. 8-\

So what is the logical order of launch? 70D making it top apc for several months then releasing 7D2 or releasing both.

Well, I really hope for a 60D / 7D replacement that is coming soon. I like to replace my 7 year old 350D, but the 60D and the 7D are just to old (with their over 3 year old sensor). The 6D would also be an option, but it is a bit expensive, especially if I also count the new glas I would need.
CP+ at the end of the month would be a good date, then there are always the announcments in late spring, which would be the latest date I will wait for, before going with the 6D, which should be down to about 1600$ by then (comparing it to the Nikon D600 price drop).

It could be that Canon will offer something in between the 60D and the 7D, which would replace both for a while, before bringing the "real" 7D sucessor to the market. That would be fine with me, since I think the 60D is a little bit underspeced; but the 7D is already a bit on the large side.

Let's wait and see; I've been working with my 350D for seven years now, so a few month do not really matter. And even more important, I know that my pictures won't improve much only becauseI have a newer, better, more expensive camera; it's tha photographer who takes the pictures, not the camera....

IMO, the only question is do you want to continue with crop or switch to FF. Make that decision and you have your answer. Again, IMO, the next crop camera will be fiendishly more expensive than any of us thinks it should be.......but it will be an excellent successor to the 7D (not to the 60D).

Choices choices...
At the moment, I am considdering picking up a 60D (replacing a 60D that was lost) before they sell out to keep me going until the 6D price drops or until I can afford a 5D mk3. My only fear concerning the 6D is that the outer point AF will turn out to be worse than the 60D, otherwise the 6D would be a no-brainer for me.
Like others have mentioned, I fear that the 60D/7D replacements will be so expensive that the 6D will be even more of a no-brainer.
At the time of writing, where I am at the prices are as follows:
6D = 2185$ - 60D=800$ - 7D=1280$
For me, low-light performance (both IQ and AF) & Video are important factors, and thus the choice is a hard one... If I had more confidence in the 6D AF I'd go for that. If the 7D had a swivel screen, I'd pick one up and save for a 5Dmk3. Seeing as I ahve my doubts about the 6D AF and since the swivel LCD gives the 60D a slight edge over the 7D for video, right now, I am seriously leaning towards the 60D again...
