ok, so whats the difference between the 50D and the 60D? All the specs are pretty much foreign to me.

60D: Articulated lcd screen, allows for composing shots over your head or down low (great for kid shots) without guesswork. Better sensor and processor. Easy to use video.

Samples: Crowd shot taken holding camera over head. Child with dad shot without viewfinder--just stuck the camera toward them and shot. The crowd shot is pure guess--point the camera and shoot multiple exposures, one turns out. Note that the father and son are not wholly in the frame. Don't know why, but I still like the shot. Articulated lcd screen takes out the wasted shots and guessing, but might cost spontaneity.
