Moment of panic: Canon hasn't had a hot camera since the 7D and T2i/550D

While updating some of the Canon stock status pages, the thought came to me. Canon has not had a general interest "hot camera" since the 7D and the D-Rebel T2i/550D. Neither the 60D, nor the T3i/600D were greeted as liberators by the Canon fans - unlike the 7D and the T2i. This is more troubling for their 60D line, since the 50D did not generate as much excitement as the 40D either. For a quick refresher on the Canon DSLR dynasty, check the Age of DSLRs.
