Myself and a couple of others use the Canon 7D to good effect with Wildlife video. The 60D has the same sensor as the 7D by the way...
OK, the focus is an 'issue' with the Canon's, I think the AF still works on the Nikon's however, but, and its a bit but, I find the AF on camcorders gets more in the way (focuses on the wrong subject more often than not), than a help in general for 'run and gun' shooting, but that's probably me being used to the Canon. I can focus, set the exposure and shutter speed pretty fast and have very few 'duff' shots. Camcorders are good for leave and forget stuff, like bands, gigs or festivals, bolt them on the stage or wherever and leave running, they usually sort themselves out. Most, if not all the footage is usable I've found, plus you have some pretty decent audio if the sound is constant. Cheers, Neil.
