Hello all, first post on the forum!
I know this dilemma has been long discussed, but I've been searching the forum without success.
After a few years without DSLR (my last DSLR was a Canon EOS 30D), I'm going to buy a new one. My mind was on an EOS 60D, but I have a really good offer on an EOS 7D. It's only 300€ more expensive than 60D (no scam, it's a very well known store here where I live). But those 300€ will be some kind of an extra unexpected monetary effort
It really worth those extra 300€? I'm not talking only about construction, which is obvious, but more on the image quality or even ergonomy
Basically...Do differences between 60D and 7D worth 300€?

To me, the extra was worth it as I rely on the (much) better AF system on the 7D. The Micro-adjust feature is also pretty important to me as I have a few lenses which are just slightly off and controlling this helps get sharp images. I am not interested in the articulated screen of the 60D which is the only major advantage I can see with the 60D (other than price).
Cheers
Allan

the sensor is essentially the same, so that shouldn't be of concern
differences: AF system, construction, pentaprism, 100% view, faster frame rate.
Allan, photonius, al dente, thanks for your time and responses
