I just picked up a 60D for Christmas and it's amazing quality and does great in low light.

BUT I'm keeping my Canon HV20 because it has auto focus! The 60D is great and all, but it does NOT have autofocus during video mode. So unless you're staying on a pretty even plane and/or don't mind the sliding in and out of focus that "film" gives you, you may not get the finished result you want.

The flip out screen on the back is fucking brilliant, I have to say.

Just food for thought.
