Canon comparison table
Discussion
Hi, I'm just thinking about jumping into the money pit of SLR ownership once more, my last camera was the canon EOS3, yes, a film one!
Wanted to stick with canon, partly brand loyalty and partly so my lens, filters and other attachments will fit.
I also assume that as ever the Nikon v canon debate is still competitive enough that there is still no clean winner in the swinging dicks competition ;-)
So trying to fast track myself in info, bought a mag, search the net, but what I'd really like is a link to a table with all the canon eos range and a simple table to compare the features with so I can decide what I want/need and what's worth paying the extra for.
Any help?

This free website has cost me a lot of money over the years. Absolute wealth of information though, and yes, canon is still way better than Nikon.

If you happen to have any lenses left from your EOS 3, I would recommend buying a 5D Mark I. Best camera I owned in ages, phenomenal pictures.
Its a great camera but times have moved on somewhat! If they have the budget for a 6d its much better.Also what lenses does the OP have with that eos 3? probably nothing that flash, quite likely the 18-55 and 55-250 kit on crop will be a big step up.
As for a new 7d. well people have been saying that for 2+ years, I wouldnt worry about it.
There are rumours (once again!) that a Canon EOS 3D might be announced later this year. So I suppose that might offer you a chance to pick up where you left off - sort of.
Canon run a "Compare" option on their web site but it's just Tech Specs. What sort of things you want your new camera for will probably be a greater influence on your decision. Of course if you are very eclectic for subject matter other factors may be paramount.

I only have the 28-135 is lense plus the a nice speedlight flash(550??) and accessories
I'm more interested in landscape and wide angle aspect rather than telephoto stuff.
I also saw the rumors of a new 3, as tempting as it is I think that camera will be bigger than my capability to take photos:-)
I guess it's between the 6, 7 and 60.
Looking at prices the 7 is pretty much the same price as the 60 if u shop around, assuming this is due to the age of the 7, plus secondhand ones are available.
On the plus for the 60 it's latest tech.
Then the 6, would perfect, new tech, armature range topper, but real price significantly more than the the other 2.
The other issue is partly due to why I stopped last time, I always find myself saying 'what's the point' I take photos, then never look at them again, I mean what if I did a great shot, so what?
But still I get this urge to have nice SLR....:-)
I then think, buy a cheaper one, but then when spending X I may as we'll spend X+1 and round I go in circles:-)
So 60 latest tech, 7 older tech, better equips for same money, or balls deep with a 6?
On a final note, my 3 had retina reading focus points which I loved, I don't see this in the range anymore? Any idea why?
