Topic: Canon 7D (Page 1 of 1)

Ok this is the shit!

First check out these links then I will tell you why I'm so excited:

I've been postponing buying 5D mkII and oh I'm so glad!

Features important to me (in descending order)
1) great low light (not as good as 5D mkII but still great) ISO 3200 totally usable with a little bit of noise removal
2) full HD movie with more video modes for better movie look and external mic option
1080p @ 24/25/30 fps + 720p @ 50/60 fps ... now if only it could do 720i @ 120 fps ... that would be even more awesome
3) $900 cheaper than 5D mkII
4) better native resolution (18MP) than my current 10MP (I need more - seriously)
5) camera acts as wireless flash master ... !!! now like nikon yay, I wont need the stupid wire anymore
6) 8 fps photos ... awesome it has DUAL digic4 processors
7) 19 cross type points AF (+26 assist points) !! + lots of new AF features
8) 2 smaller raw file options ... this is great in combination with the 8fps ... probably means unlimited frames
9) live view and awesome 1MP 3" screen ... the resolution is better than on a 15" 1024*768 monitor ... but it's 3"
10) real time 3D level (pitch and roll) visible in both live view and viewfinder
11) digital viewfinder screens ... composition grid, af points, level etc built into a transparent lcd
12) environmental sealing (same as 5D mkII)
13) awesome bigger viewfinder with 100% coverage and 1.0x magnification ... (my 400D has 95% and 0.8x magnification)
14) better metering (not so important since I don't properly understand it)
etc etc...

I don't think I will be able to postpone buying this one. When it comes out here, I'm getting it!

I so can't wait to upgrade my 7D with a revised model.... mmmmm Digic V w/ continuous movie focus (Canon T4i has this). The non continuous focus always made me feel like I was ripped off as so many point and shoots had it, and batteries are cheap on Ebay.
