7d Firmware Upgrade

[Sean Setters]

Let's see, a full-framer like the 7D with the new feature set sounds (surprisingly enough) like a 5D III, and that's been proven to be an attractive camera--even at $3500.

A budget entry full-framer would likely be stripped down in its feature set--it may not be weather sealed, shoot video, bracket exposures, or have any kind of state-of-the-art AF. You sacrafice things when you're on a budget--that's kind of the point.
