Reason for Sale: This camera system is too heavy for use as a week-long backpacking camera. It takes beautiful photos and I love it, but the camera system weight is too much when added to a 50# hiking backpack. I will have to find a lighter weight camera.

Good luck with the sale. It is a good idea to include some photos specially showing any imperfections. That will create some interest.

Just a tip: If you'd change your title to: "FS: 7D & EF 24-70 f2.8 L USM" the title gets a lot shorter and displays more details on the main page. Now you can only read till "FOR SALE - Canon 7D Body & EF..."
Good luck!

Did you get my PM krstahl?

Hey Ken,

I was wondering what you thought you would replace the 7D with? Are you thinking a P&S like a G X or S100?

Did you get my PM krstahl?

I got your pm and replied. There is no record in my account that I replied and I can't find the text I sent back to you. So, maybe still buggy or maybe it takes awhile to go through the system. i sent it about 10 minutes before I put my reply in here on the public post. Same deal with another person who sent me a PM (no record of sent message) and I know I hit the Submit button.

--- Another hour later, I tried another attempt to reply to your pm with a slightly different method. I still don't think it went through as there is still no record of what I typed to you. Any ideas?

To the other two people that sent me PMs about the camera for sale - I don't seem to be able to reply to your PMs. I'm not ignoring you. I'll wait a day to see if "time heals all things", in this case the PM reply. Then I'll try again.

**** A day later - Got the PM thing figured out. If you want to see what messages you have sent, you must select the check box below the submit button BEFORE SENDING. Otherwise, they get sent, but you can't see what you sent.

I'm thinking Canon G12, S100, or G1X. S100 is the right size but does not have a viewfinder and since I wear multifocals I can't see the LED screens very well. G-12 has the view finder and similar specs to the S100 and will fit in a cargo pocket on my trekkiing pants. G1X has really good specs (comparatively) and dpreview comparison shows better IQ on the G1X, but it won't fit in a pocket. Still, I'm thinking the G1X on a belt pack. The 1.5# won't be so bad on a week long back pack trip. Last trip was a week in the Grand Canyon and with having to carry water for a dry camp in 100+ heat my pack was 70#. The 8# 7D and lens was just about left behind on the trail! I know none of my alternatives will match the IQ and flexibility of the 7D, but if I have a light weight camera I will probably never pick up the 7D = paper weight.
