I am using the Canon 7d with the 24-70 2.8L lens.

The shot is a High Dynamic Range shot (HDR) which means that I took several pictures at different exposures (0,-2,-1,1,+1) and combined them so that all parts of the photo are correctly exposed. IMO this is more like how you actually see as your eyes can take in detail where a standard shot would have under and over exposed areas that are blown out (no detail). It can be a love/hate thing, but I find it can make some really striking photos, so I am trying to use it more.

I have a bunch more to post, but due to some hosting issues it is going to be a while, but to tide you over I have one more that I managed to get uploaded.

Nice.... too rich for my blood though! I'm still debating between picking up a T3i or a 60D right now.

I have some experience with the T2i, and it is a great little camera, but the lack of LCD display with all the settings on top drives me crazy. The two look pretty comparable, the 60d has a much faster burst speed, but the T3i has some newer features such as dust cleaning. They are both great cameras, it will depend on what you primarily plan to shoot.

I found that my last DSLR body lasted me 7 years, so if I depreciate the cost over that period of time it is much less per year than we all spend on detailing products
