I currently have a 5dc and while I love using this camera, one of the downfalls I have found is that when using it for studio setups it doesn't do tethering to my PC. I really would like to be able to do that as well as live view.

So I figure I would look into a 2nd body for when I do studio work. Unfortunately my current budget is in the $600 or so range. I would like to know what body would be a good choice ranging from the T3i to the 60d.

Any and all suggestions & comments are welcome.

For that budget, sounds like a 60D to me.

+1. 60D's are crazy cheap relative to their quality right now. With that budget you couldn't go wrong with one. I think you'd be let down going to a Rebel from a 5D, with respect to their controls. The image quality is there on the Rebels but the controls are decidedly better on the 60D.

The wanting never ends. The budget ends, oh yes, but not the wanting.
