60D? A good buy with flip out screen?

I never understand why larger cameras are a positive...? Heavier and bulkier for the 95% of time you're carrying it around. But then again I have large hands and never had any problems holding a 400D and big lenses...

I just wish the higher end cameras were smaller, it would save so much much needed space and weight in my walking/carry on bags! The D7000 I have now is noticeably bigger than the 400D and that to me is one of the biggest negatives of it (and one of the major reasons I didn't go for a 7D).

I agree with this too.
 
I much prefer the feel and size of my 60D compared to the 400D. The 400D feels like a small toy in comparison. A friend had a full frame Nikon (D3?) and to me that was quite large.

When you put a big lens on it, it makes more sense. Something like a 24-70 or 85/1.2 weight in just under a kilo each and a bigger body gives better balance.

Disagree with that tbh. I had a 24-70 and various other heavy lenses (300 f/4 at about 1.5kg) and it made no difference. With that kind of weight, even on a D7000 or 5D the lens is still the heavier part of the system anyway.
