Canon announced the Canon 60D, which B&H details as shipping in September.    The 60D is the replacement for the 50D, should be cheaper than the 7D by $500, but lacks the magnesium body and has only a single DIGIC 4 processor.  The flip out LCD is ‘neat’, but I don’t think I have a real need for that at all.  I’ll likely pass on this iteration and keep saving pennies for more glass like the one of the lenses below…
