If you already have money invested in Canon lenses then that is where you will want to have a close look. The table above tells a few stories but firstly, if you did not already read it I’d recommend taking a look at last weeks article comparing the 7D to the new 60D. Lots of things to think about here because whilst most expected the D7000 to go head to head with the 60D, Nikon came out swinging and have incorporated a few features that in some cases put it closer to the 7D.

Canon battle for those people who have yet to pick a side.

Last week I wrote an article comparing the Canon 7d with the 60D which was very popular and designed to give the Canon shooters a few pointers as to which might be the best camera for them.

Both of these cameras have made some considerable improvements on their predecessors and consumers these days are really starting to see higher end features trickle down into the lower end bodies. Hot on the heels of Canon’s 60D announcement, Nikon has today revealed the successor to the popular D90 consumer DSLR, the D7000.
