got a link for that review fred.. i'm always interested but i'd be surprised if the 60D really wins in astro work?
given that both sensors are very similar in age/technology, i'd guess that the significantly larger pixels from the 5DmkII have considerably better signal/noise ratio performance than the 60D which has quite small pixels by comparison. unless canon broke the laws of 'no free lunch' on the 60D but not on the 5DmkII
? but i'm biased cause i don't have a 60D
of course, the 5D requires lenses or scope that can provide image quality across that size chip which is not always easy. depending on what people plan to image with, the pixel and sensor size of the 60D may be a better choice..
