Is Canon 60d worth buying now?

It's 2015.
Canon 60d is almost 5 year old camera.
So is nikon d7000.
My question is that is it worth buying these cameras now?

The reason I'm asking this is that there are no other good cameras in my budget.
My budget is 60000-70000 Rs.
Please suggest me if there any other good cameras in my budget.

Thanks in advance. Both of those cameras are excellent "enthusiast" cameras a good full notch above the two entry level cameras from Nikon and Canon.

What you need to do is 1) make sure that the cameras do not show any damage, 2) have low shutter cycle counts and 3) compare the sensor performance of those two cameras. See the link below

If the sensor performance is important to you, then this factor could determine which camera you buy. Just remember, that which ever camera system you buy, you will be married to it for a decade or two unless you are fabulously wealthy and can afford to replace all the lenses from one system to the other

One thing you may not know is that both Nikon and Canon make lenses designed for use with APS-C sensors, but only the Nikon DX lenses can be used on full frame Nikon cameras if you later add a full frame camera to your kit. Any Canon EF-S (APS-C lenses) will have to be replaced by EF lenses if you add a full frame Canon to your kit. Yes if they are new, or only light use (shutter actuations under 35,000).
The optical viewfinders on them are so much nicer to use than the entry level ones.

Look… You can get the excellent Canon 70D new in your budget!

Now, if it was me choosing, and I didn't need a swivelling LCD panel for video, I'd pick this Pentax K50 kit as it has a more versatile lens with it, and also Pentax viewfinders are better at that level.

Just make sure you buy one from a dealer who will give you some kind of limited warranty/guarantee. That should help you differentiate between a good one or a bad one. Yes. It should be cheap enough for what it brings. If you can live without the flip-LCD, see this other mid-level dSLR model.
