Dear All please suggest good combo of Body and Lense for my wildlife and street hobby.
Canon 60D with 70-200 F/4 without IS is good for me for street photography or go with 100-400.
(Or wait for 70D)
or Nikon D7100 with 18-105 is good.

Your two goals are a little diverse.

Wildlife requires a rather long lens like a 70-300 mm and street photography usually requires a wide angle lens, at least when shooting traditional street photography.

Of the two cameras, the D7100 sensor out performs the 60D and is more robust in that it has a magnesium body and environmental seals

The only way you will know which cameras is best for you is to visit a proper camera shop and speed date both of them.

Did you do any research, like reading the professional reviews of those two cameras in the DP Review website?

Look at the Pentax K-30 - you might be able to buy the lenses (18-55 for street photography and something longer for wildlife) and still have change from your budget.

Any will do. They are all good. All dSLR's are basically the same. What matters is how you use them.

BUT…

I recommend the Pentax K-30.It's weatherproof and waterproof which is good for out there in the elements shooting conditions.

For street shooting the kit lens is enough but to allow you to shoot even at cramped spaces with people all around you, see this.

For more wide angle street photography, this may be better.
