Looking to bit the bullet and possibly buy a Canon 60D and use a55 as back up.
Just wondered peoples photos on 60D if you've used them. 7/5D well out of price range

the 60 is heavy, and if you're using an extra battery,grip or telephoto lens, it's incredibly heavy,

I'm renting one for next weekends trip back to Snowdon, BG said I should have gone for the 60 when I bought my 550, and in a lot of respects he is right, I'm giving it another 3 months and then going to the 1D.

using one of these yesterday, with a battery grip and sigma 50-500 telephoto, was like lugging one of my 10k dumbells around but a brilliant camera which gives brilliant results at any focal length and any subject. My Grandad, who wons the camera is a keen birdwatcher and loves it and I was taking photos of my young cousin riding his bike around and I got some very good results

Well that could be a issue, I like the a55 because as a SLT, it's small and light. Alot of time it will be used for video, which rules out the mk1 5D.
