My quick thoughts about the 7D vs 60D vs 550D cameras. After I dig into it more, I'll have more to talk about, but if you're a first time buyer the 60D is worth the extra cash over the T2i.
LCDVF probably not a good idea if you think you'll be using it with the LCD hanging out. Would work if the LCD is docked, but the sticky frame would prevent the LCD from rotating back to protect itself. It's also a 3/2 style LCD like the T2i size.
Aftermarket batteries still work too.
I'll update information at the blog @ cheesycam.com
