Anyone Got the 7D?

[Eksmaan]

Just picked up the first one in my local camera shop yesterday and it rocks!! Still learning the ins-and-outs of it(will be doing that for a while I hope), but I am loving it! Ayone else have some feedback?

Darnit now, quit teasing me. I just bought another lens in order to do an upcoming wedding. I won't be able to get the 7D for quite some time.

I only hear good things from reviews about the 7D, personally I won't get one, I'll save that lil bit more for a 5DMKII

Seriously Sean, why do you want it so much? It's not *that* attractive if you ask me - the weather sealing is not even a *real* weather sealing (shame on you Canon!!!).

Have to agree on that, its nothing, AMAZING, if they put a 1.3x sensor on it, then it would be more attractive to me, but its just another 1.6 crop body with a few new bells and whistles.

Not everyone likes APS-C SLRs, but they are great for macro and wildlife. I don't see why so many people think that FF sensors are the greatest, when they can buy a digital medium format camera--a "fuller full-frame". []


For what I photograph, the 7D would be nothing less than AMAZING!

Well, 2 big advantages of full frame vs. APS-C sensors if you ask me are:


1. Better bokeh.


2. Bigger viewfinder []

I would love a medium format digital but I can not justify $15,000+.

All the canon DSLRs are AMAZING.

It has two things that I really want--movie mode and a pop-up flash commander. Both are very attractive features to me.

I've had it since Monday, this weekend will be the first serious IQ test, but so far it is a very very worthy upgrade from my 40d.


Everyone of it's so called 'bells and whistles' has added value to my shooting experience. In relationship to it's intended class and price point I think it's flat out fantastic. In comparison to the 40d; focus is better, exposure is better, wireless flash works great for my purposes, viewfinder is a dream experience, camera control and flexibility is in another stratosphere, handles and balances better, usable ISO is wider and the list goes on.


The perfect camera doesn't exist at any price so there will be no shortage of people who will wish something was better or some feature was added and I'm certain pixel peepers will target noise at some level simply because it's a 1.6, but I'm a happy camper.
