The EOS 60D has been announced

Havent seen this posted but can you dial in your color temp like the 7d/5d or do you have to pick from a preset t2i?
 
I'm totally upgrading to this from the T2i. I'm about to get a job at Best Buy too so I can't wait to see the employee discount work that magic!! >:D
 
It'll be fun to see how the camera handles. Probably not much different than the others, but I'm down to the wire over it or the T2i. The big point for me is the articulating screen, as I'm the camera operator and main (only? :)) actor 99.9% of the time, so being able to see if my head is cut off before shooting an entire scene is a plus. :D
 
The swivel lcd is the only thing that really interests me with this camera, I don't really think it's that much of a step up. I'm happy with my 7D, the only thing that's annoying is the audio but that can soon be fixed, either with the iPod trick, external audio recording, or if magic lantern ever comes out with an update for the 7D.

I still don't see what makes that useful. I guess for tight corners or spaces. Hmm.

I thought they got c*ckblocked by Canon? Wasn't there a firmware update that prohibited any further development on the 7D?

I'm really digging the 60D's LCD and the incremental ISO settings, but then again the Panasonic AF100 is just around the corner, and also Scarlet too. I think the smart thing to do is wait and just deal with the T2i's LCD until we know more about these other cameras.
 
Timbit, I think there are a lot of us in that situation. The technology is changing so quickly (and because of it, visual production values are increasing just as quickly) that I cannot keep up with the financial outlay. I'm a student, earning my income as a freelancer, and don't have the budget for anything in the $6000 range (plus lensing). The DSLR is an affordable level to play at, and gives a result that is acceptable for many professional applications.

That said, I'm interrupting my homework every five minutes to keep up with all the AF101 buzz!

I know what you mean. I'm just a poor kid with seasonal jobs caught in the mad whirl of cinematography. :)
