In my country the prices for the D7000 are around 1040-1100 euros.
The problem about the Canon are comments like this (dpreview):
With the 60D Canon has unashamedly moved the X0D range out of the 'semi pro' bracket and instead focused on the enthusiast photographer looking to upgrade from their Rebel. As a result, it's not the obvious continuation of the 30D - 40D - 50D pattern that its naming might suggest. Instead it sits pretty well precisely in the same market position as was once-upon-a-time occupied by the 'Elan' series of 35mm film SLRs (which in Europe were not-so-coincidentally given double-digit model numbers).

And how exactly is this camera different from a 50D? Its really still very similar. A bit smaller (nor much), same weather sealing, same performance but higher resolution, improved in many areas and a swivel screen. Don't read too much in false sentiments form a single reviewer. The only 2 real changes have been the body shell being from high grade plastics instead of the mag. alloy it was before, and no micro focus adjustment. Both of which I would not miss in any way. So, just try the camera and see if it feels good and has logical user interface and controls. Same with the D7000.
