My beloved 60D is dead, I have been borrowing a friends nikon d40. I need another canon! My question is this.. I have the choice of a 60D, 70D or 7D. They come out to around the same price for me.. the only problem im having is which I should get.. I love the flipping screen on the 60D, Im used to it, I know all the controls..it did me good. But the 7D is weather sealed, and I shoot in storms, rain, sand, dirty places, on the ground, in the woods..etc.. And I could really use the extra focus points, but alot of reviews I have read said its not really much of an upgrade.. and just stick with the 60D.. I shoot moving children, wildlife, animals, parties, etc. I dont use the video mode often, if at all.. but its between a camera i know well with the swivel screen, or the weather sealed with extra focal points. I dont know much about the 70D. I read that the 7d has more noise? If there is someone that has used both and can help me decide.. I would be grateful.. I wont be buying extra lenses or anything.. just new memory cards and the body. [and yes, i know they take different cards] Thanks for the help!
I need the best camera for under $800. preferably with a warranty so not a used one..
only thing I dislike about the 70D is the lack of WB button. You have to go through your menu option to select/change it. You can press the 'Q' button to make changes to your settinge via LCD but you still have to touch the WB tab then select which one you want. Wish they made it programable under the custom setting fuction to use one of the other buttons for it. My solution is to leave it at AWB and then do some minor adjustment during PP.
