Anyone owns (and actively uses) both 7D and 60D ?
4 months ago

I feel like a moron for posting this

Bought a 7D back in October of 2010. Have been using it extensively with the Canon 15-85mm lens.

Recently added the following lenses to my collection, over the course of last 7 months, when i figured I was renting the same equipment fairly often to justify a purchase instead.

70-200mm F/4 L IS

50mm F/1.4

10-22mm F/3.5-5.6

w/ Canon 7D body ( + Canon 15-85mm )

I find it quite annoying if I have to keep switching lenses when I am shooting outdoors. Sometimes i need extra reach so i attach the telephoto, but often I need a wider field of view and smaller focal lengths too, much around the similar time frame. Changing lenses has been a bit risky and painful at times (dusty environment, lack of solid surfaces to lay stuff on and busy walkways)

I found a great deal on 60D recently and placed an order but now I am having second thoughts, if owning two quite similar cameras makes any sense at all. I would love to own a full frame one day, but I dont have budget to buy a 5D3 or even MKII at this moment as I am no pro and don't have commercial work lined up.

APS-C (2nd body) + full frameĀ  (primary body) combo makes a bunch of sense, but I am wondering if anyone thinks having two APS-C cameras comes in handy and can be useful.

I am open to criticism or comments.. lol

Thanks a lot guys. Any input is appreciated.
