I have enough money to get the nikon d7000 but what is comparable to this from canon?

My friend has all the lens for canon and he'll let me borrow it if i get a canon. The next thing closest to d7000 is the canon d60… Should i get the d60 instead? Its not as good as the d7000.

Canon 7D.

If your friend is willing to lend you his lenses, go with a canon. Then you can save up and buy your own lenses. Remember, a good lens on an average body is better than an average lens on a good body.

Here is how the sensors of those two cameras compare

As you can see, the D7000's sensor out performs the 60D

"With the 18MP EOS 60D Canon has unashamedly moved the X0D range out of the 'semi pro' bracket and instead focused on the enthusiast photographer looking to upgrade from their Rebel." -- DP Review

If you go with Nikon tho you will have almost every single lens Nikon (or anyone) ever made to fit a Nikon using the standard F mount, which you have…
.
You have 1000's of older primes that are just as good now for quality images as they were when new and again, this is regardless of who made them as long as they have the F mount and are from a quality manufacture…
.
There are a few exceptions, but few!
.
However, if you want the camera (and hence lenses) for the full automatic part of the camera, you could buy a cheaper camera, leave it on automatic and get almost if not the same image results. To buy a camera like that (either make) and NOT use them on Manual is a waist of good material and time.

I'd say the Canon 7D is closer to the Nikon D7000 than the 60D is. If he truly has every lens, then it's worth it. Imagine being able to rent an L lens for nothing! Don't worry about the retro-fitting thing with Nikon. Every screw mount, K mount, Nikon F-mount, Lieca R mount, and many others are fully adaptable to Canon EOS with a cheap, simple glassless adapter. Only Nikon and Zeiss mounts can fit Nikon.

Still, go with what feels better to you. Compare each camera's ergonomics and functions at a camera shop, and choose based on that.
