I was about to mention the DoF button on my 60D. I'm not sure if you're aware but although you can preview video on an external monitor in 1080i, it switches to 480 x 720p (or DVD res) as soon as you start recording whereas I'm told the dual DIGIC IV processors on the 7D allows it to output full 1080 even while recording. Still, if you pre-focus, not a huge deal, just a minor disappointment on the video side.
Hi, I need your help! I'm 14 years old, and photography is my life. Taking photos on my Mom's Canon rebel XSi since she first got it. horribly, 1 week ago my cousin broke it. He threw a fit, slammed it on the floor, and completely ruined the camera. I love the 60D, and my Mom's birthday is in on November 15, and I would really like to buy her one. 1 problem. All of the money I make goes to my mother's bills! Will anyone be kind enough to donate me a 60D to give to my mom? Kylesukley@gmail.com.
@bijayranjana They are both slightly water resistant (more so than the Rebels) but the more you pay, the more resistant. The 1D's are the most weather resistant of the Canon line, but you're gonna pay over 4K for those. I spent a whole weekend at a windy beach with my 60D out most of the time (high on a tripod but still) and the wind constantly blowing salty water and sand up the beach the whole time. I came out w a salty, crusty UV filter on the lens & sand all over but no permanent issues.
WOW! I have assumed there was no DOF at all on that camera... Thanks for letting me know about it! I still use both cameras and the 60D is definitely my default video shooter with the 7D the default still.
@naftulyev All i care about is VIDEO....so explain to me how the cheaper 60d can be better at video than the 7d that has a lot better AF..19 point AF....and the 60d only has 9 point AF....for action shots...and essentially every shot is action b/c there is always movement from people and things in any video....so AF is critical....i'm not into the shallow depth of field shots as much as everyone else seems to be...i want everything in focus
@llleolllolll : Dumbass, there is autofocus. However it's not recommended as it continues to hunt focus everytime and the motor noise of the lens can be loud.
@xbeforea .....cool....just bought my 60D...I think it is a VERY capable camera for stills and vid...thanks for pointing the DOF button...didn't even know it was there....but it actually is in a very natural place to hit with your left index finger....one of the huge selling points for me on the 60D was the bang for the buck and the GREAT ergonomics....
hey i just got my new 60D how much should I charge the battery for the first time?

I can see by looking at the image that you placed a Battery Grip on the 7D which doesn't allow for a proper size comparison.

You missed DoF button on 60D because Canon hid it on the other side :) It is slightly visible from 1:22 to 1:56
