Yes, and the lenses are unlikely to change for a long time, so no compatibility worries.
My 40D doesn’t feel old – it’s only the lack of video that keeps making me think of a move to the 60D
Dont do it, 70D is on the horizon, maybe July, with wifi and GPS, but still 18MP sensor, but with rumored new AF system.
I was holding out for one, but opted for the 700D to get me started.
If I ever upgrade now though it will be to an XD (6D, 7D, 5D) range and not the XXD, but that will only be when and if I outgrow the 700D.
The 60D image quality is far worse than the 40D, I was pretty disappointed when I borrowed one.
The savvy one would look at used Pentax ones, dirt cheap and well built.
I bought a K200D with two lenses and a lowe pro bag for £133 as a camera to take to the beach etc with the kids. It’s pretty good and the good manual primes are cheap. I ended up selling the 55-300 that came with it and buying two primes with the money, got myself a new genuine grip for £19.99 and a TTL flash for £20. (got a bit carried away)
