since u have a fixed budget, after u have narrowed the offers u have in hand, perhaps you can come back here to tell us what lens u can get.. smile.gif

as mentioned above.. so so body + good lens sometimes can have better results than high end body + crappy lens.. smile.gif

u don buy a Ferrari to put 14 inch tires on it rite? tongue.gif even in theory the car can still be driven....

From that list only no. 3 made my 650D feel incapable of doing something that 60D can.  Never heard of Kelvin WB yet so I read up on it.  Especially on Fstoppers (Fstoppers Kelvin WB). 

And yes 650D can also adjust exposure when recoding video.

thanks. cos 550D / 500D I used, i can't do that..... either that or I missed something.

yes, the Kelvin WB is very helpful. Same goes to the 1/3 stop ISO.

1/3 stop ISO very helpful when you're photographing at events or scenes that you need that minor adjustment of sensitivity, because in some cases 1 stop up or down changes the setting too much.

Hi, let me provide some insight as I have 650D while my brother has 60D.

60D
- better made body, heavier
- top LCD display, quicker access
- 1/3 ISO
- manually adjustable WB range

- pentaprism, much brighter
- swivel screen
- slower Live View AF

650D
- lighter, but plasticky
- full stop ISO
- prefix WB
- pentamirror
- touch & swivel screen
- faster Live View AF

If I have the money, get 60D. In terms of photography, both are excellent cameras.

Those 2 are negligible with magic lantern.
650D can shoot video zoomed in at 1080p.

no reason to bring Magic Lantern in when we're discussing model vs model.

and if anyone need to know more about Magic Lantern, can PM the person who brought it up. tongue.gif

more often than not, it's convenient to bring up Magic Lantern yet not bringing in the risks http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ

from the official site http://www.magiclantern.fm/donate.html

clearly stated on the footer ......

Is it safe?

No. Magic Lantern was created by reverse engineering an undocumented system that controls hardware. Therefore, we can't be certain that it's 100% safe.

Magic Lantern does not replace Canon code (which is stored in ROM), but it does change the settings (which are saved to a non-volatile memory). If Magic Lantern would set incorrect values for certain settings, this may cause the camera not to boot (even without ML).

That's mainly to protect their own interest.
Using a stable magic lantern release have minimal risk.
It's far safer then jailbreaking a phone and it's free !

That being said, there is still a very small chance of bricking your camera if you don't follow instructions.

Still worth it on a xxxD body though.

This is the reason I opt for the 650D too. Haha. Cause I know the ML release is around the corner very soon.
