I've been giving the 7D a test run lately.
I believe coming from the 40D that this camera will be a wise choice for my particular photography interests (I'm really interested to see how this camera will work for landscapes with the EF-S 10-22). I'll leave any lengthy ramblings on processing 18MB files, the AF system, etc to the tech/gear forums, but here is one capture from tonight while seeing how this camera functions with the ducks & geese at the local park near my house...
EOS 7D w/ 400 5.6L
1/2000 f/7.1 iso400, handheld
AI Servo w/ AF point expansion
C.Fn III-1 set to '0'
C.Fn III-2 set to '1'
C.Fn III-3 set to '0'
Processed in DPP, no NR, minimal PS adjustments
Cropped from 18MP to 9.4MP
Last night I had C.Fn III-1 set to '-1' and '-2' at times, but things seemed to work fine tonight with '0'. Also, I used Single Point AF last night, which worked well, but the point expansion stayed on the subject very well tonight during bursts.
C&C greatly appreciated... thanks.
Always learning,
John
