So? I have a 1D3. I bought a 7D in March as a stop-gap camera for the year until I can afford and justify a 1D4 next year.


I bought a second 7D three weeks later, and have moved the 1D4 down the wishlist probably far enough that it's a 2012 purchase. The 7D is that good. Only two things I find myself actually missing from the 1D3 is the button-based exposure mode selection (the darned exposure mode knob gets spun around when I'm not looking) and the inability to control ISO on the big wheel (or at least I haven't found the tricks to do so). Otherwise, it's a better camera with better images for 1/3 the money.
