Maybe it is a return to the simplified ethos of the 60D - remember how that camera was widely panned as a "downgrade" compared to the 50D that preceded it, forcing Canon to correct "upwards" with the next model? Now it appears that they feel like keeping both types of camera in the lineup - and that's in addition to the 7D series and three types of "Rebels" (mercifully down from four). I think I am seeing some of their reasoning, but not the economic logic behind this decision...
