The biggest question is do you think that if there is a 60d will it have video functionality equivalent to a 7d. I currently have a canon hfs100 with a rode video mic and decaying xl1 (its in great condition just not as good iq as the hfs100 ). Not to get off topic but I used to have an hv30 but wanted manual gain so got the hfs100. Would you have done the same.

I am afraid you will have to start and stop between tracks. No, there’s nothing at that price with that depth of field. I am afraid you will have to start and stop between tracks.

Is there an alternative ? I shoot gig's of an african drummer group, often in narrow, dark clubs. So I'm using a HDC-SD300 with wide angle adaptor, but this setup has bad low light performance.

The 7D costs $1000 LESS, and it has that 50/60p frame rate which is ideal for slow motion. So overall, for most people, the 7D is a *better* buy. I went with the 5D because of some specific constraints, but if I was a free bird without a video history, and was trying to get a new camera, the 7D would be it. Prolost also mentions in his recent article the same idea: the 7D is overall the smarter buy. Yes, but. The 7D costs $1000 LESS, and it has that 50/60p frame rate which is ideal for slow motion.

Slighty higher bitrate (which does not show any major advantage) and 50/60 framerate. 24/25/proper 30 was promised for 5D was promised by Canon in first quarter of 2010, maybe even those higher framerates. 5D has arguably better noise handling, better dynamic range and shallower DOF. 7D is not that much better than 5D anymore.
