7D Real!

[Maleko]

I have a 50D, I love my 50 D, my clients and myself are happy with my 50D results, and it has features I rarely use. Good reason to get another L though, convince the minister of war & finance (wife) I could upgrade to 7D or get another L, yes tricky smart people from Canon. Sorry it just doesn’t impress me greatly, my opinion only. Scott

Im with you on that!


My only next upgrade would be a 5D series, no point buying another 1.6x body.
I would have another L lens over the 7D for sure.

When I feel the need to upgrade my 40D I will go 7D instead of another XXD. I definitely would not trade my 5DII in for the 7D.

Take a look at the flickr examples link to in this hands-on preview. Some of the higher-ISO images (500 and 3200) are actually kind of impressive. I mean, at 100% the ISO 3200 aren't great, but they'd certainly work for small prints and web publishing.

Not sure if anyone posted this yet, here are some sample pics:

On the DPReveiw theysaidit has the weather sealing "equivalent to the legendary EOS&ndash;1N". Is the weather sealing good enough to take the camera out in the rain with a weather sealed lens?

[Oren]

Someone already said here that the 7D sealing is pretty much like the sealing on the 5D mk2, so I guess the answer is: no.

[Fast Glass]

Darn! I was aware of that post, I was wondering if someone had a more"I know so" typeanswer. Because I couldn't find were it said the 7D was similar the 5D II.


WhyI din't think of this before, I should ofjust check how good the weather sealing of EOS-1N is. Dumb me....[]

I love all the new features such as these I got off the canon websight.


New 19-point Autofocus system


New Canon iFCL Metering System (Intelligent Focus, Color, Luminance) and a new Intelligent Viewfinder


An 18-megapixel Canon CMOS sensor and Dual DIGIC 4 Imaging Processors


Eight fps continuous shooting up to 126 Large JPEGS using a UDMA CF card


ISO speed settings from 100-6400 (expandable to 12,800).


Full HD video capture at 1920 x 1080 resolution with selectable frame rates of 24p, 25p or 30p


New multi-axis cross-type 19-point AF that remain fully functional with maximum apertures as small as f/5.6.


Spot AF mode reduces the size of a single AF point to focus on small subjects {like an animal in a cage}


AF Point Expansion mode uses a cluster of AF points adjacent to the selected AF point to automatically assist focusing on moving subjects, such as an athlete on the run.


Zone AF divides the 19 AF points into five selectable focusing zones and makes it easier to achieve focus with subjects that are difficult to track with Single Point AF or AF point expansion, such as birds in flight.


Built-in Dual Axis Electronic Level


BUT:What I'm not impressed with {yet} is the noise level. After downloading some of the FULL size photos off of dpreview.com on their preview of it, I wasn't that impressed. Some looked like excess noise while others looked like they hadjaggies. BUT thats just me. I'll wait and see when some of the full reviews are completed before I decide for sure.

Here is a photo (of sorts) of the 7D's sealing. Looks like a lot more than the 5D II's memory card door and battery door "sealing". :-)

I have a hard time seeing the difference: 5D2 sealing.
