Are they even identical in terms of ISO noise? I believe all 3 of those body have slightly different style of jpeg but if you strictly compare RAW, then it's identical. I could be wrong.
in the dpreview review of the 60D, you can select all these camera and compare raw files directly at different ISO settings. IMO, It's better to look at data.

Well you can't produce an image with just a sensor alone. So I guess if images are your goal then output from a sensor, signal processing etc... unique to each camera is the most relevant measure.

just wondering are these cameras: t2i,60d & 7d have the same exact image sensor?
The sensors seem to differ very slightly in some aspects, such as ISO noise, dynamic range, etc. I base this statement on the results from companies like DxOMark.
However, the differences between the cameras are so marginal, that they are pretty much the same for all intents and purposes. Practically speaking, they also output the same amount of pixels and are the same exact size.
According to Canon repair facility, all those cameras share exactly the same sensor (the replacement model nro for sensor for each camera is the same). Difference in JPG quality is due the JPG software in camera, not the sensor. Differences in RAW output is due the quality differences in sensor manufacturing, not the camera model where the sensor is. 2 different 7D:s might have slightly difference ISO quality because of this.

535i will get the best parking space though
I hope this talk won't further down, like what's the best TURBO upgrade?, swap M5 parts to 1 series, swap tranny from M3... I replaced my cams, best oil to use? oh yeah I use Mobil- 1 and Shock-proof

so guys.... these t2i, t3i, 60d & 7d all have the same IQ?
I guess T2i is the best value right now.
Of those 4, the 60D is the only one that can use the EF-S focusing screen, which allows you to more easily manual focus through the viewfinder. I know that's important to me, making the 60D the best value.
No, as has been pointed out, they are not the same sensor but for most purposes (except frames per second) they might as well be. If you get files (with EXIF intact) from each of these cameras and examine the "Maker Notes" section of the EXIF you'll see that while the effective number of pixels is the same, the actual number of pixel on the chips differ between the 7D and the other three cameras. You'll also see that the black levels are different as well as the white levels. And of course there are the readout differences.
Check section 9.1 of this page: http://lclevy.free.fr/cr2/ which gives relevant sensor info for a lot of Canon cameras.
