This looks like the camera of my dreams for the most part (well, full-frame would have been nice []), but I do wish it at least had all the features of the 7D. I find this odd. I picked up a 7D at Best Buy and played with it for a few minutes, and immediately thought the attitude/horizon indicator was a great feature. I imagined how useful it would be with a ball head that didn't have built-in bubble level(s). Now I read that the brand-spanking new 1D Mark IV doesn't include the feature. WTH?


I am really interested to read Bryan's in-depth review of this camera body. I am prepared to love it, especially if the AF system has the kinks worked out. I really am not that interested in the video part for now, though that may change if I had one and tried it. If he gushes over it, I may have to start selling some guitars!
