Are you sure? I heard that it comes with a hibernating nest of spiders that wake up when the next model is released and then they go and leave spider footprints on your sensor and murder you in your sleep.
Spider attacks aren't covered in the warranty, look in the fine print.
i sometimes feel this way when software suddenly quits working when the new version is released.
When the 60D is released, whenever that may be, it will not change the capabilities of existing 50Ds. The 50D will still perform to its specification.
So if the 50D meets your requirements, and since the 60D is unlikely to be released (let alone be available for purchase) for at least 12 months, there's no good reason not to buy the 50D if you are ready for a new camera body now.
Otherwise, wait for the 70D or 80D, just to be on the safe side!
I'm struggling with this too. It's summer and I want to shoot some action, which I can't do with my 5D MKII so I've been considering a 50D but would hate to spring for it and have the 60D follow soon after.
Why don't you just shoot sports with the camera you have right now?
I shot sports with a 10D (3fps, 9pics buffer) and while it takes practice
to get the good shots at the right time it can be done. A faster camera
is going to be more convenient and increases the odds of more good
picutres it does not guarantee it. My advice would be, shoot with what
you have (even a 20D has 5fps) and upgrade when the new camera is
here and you still feel a need for it. Besides nobody knows the specs
of this camera yet.
