If you'd like to see what sort of pictures i've been taking lately...
- here's an idea of my photog skills and sharpness of said lenses: Supercar Pic Thread.

So the feeling i'm getting is... nobody can really justify the price of the 60D but just MAYBE it could be nice to have a better than kit lens for walking around.

Any more input is appreciated, I'm still undecided.

Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 is very comparable to Canon 17-55. It will cost you about $350-$400. I had it for about a year and I loved it.

1) You will get a bit sharper images from the better sensor IF your technique is good--otherwise won't make a noticeable difference for the type of shots you have posted.

2) The major advantages of a wider aperture lens are a) Shooting in dimmer light. b) Ability to throw backgrounds more out of focus.

3) There are techniques in Photoshop (and even Photoshop Elements), with or without extra plug-ins from non-Adobecompanies, that let you quite satisfactorily mimic selective focus.

4) Adding--and using!--a tripod will make more difference to your sharpness than a new camera body. Watch the pros shoot.
