Come on Canon give us the 60D/7D

So Red is finally getting somewhere with their Scarlet camera, but even though it’s a ‘nice thing to have’ it is way to expensive for playing with.

Looks like Canon’s next iteration of the mid-range prosumer camera (The Canon 60D or 7D depending on rumor) is going to have 1080/24p video mode. So it would look like a funny video camera, but it will be enough to play with. It’ll be nice to have lenses with actual real focal lengths and aperatures to play with, while still recording in a high quality digital format.

And today Canon Rumors is reporting that Canon is switching to using the CMOS chips in their new video cameras.  So obviously they are hearing people (or fear the Red).
