Uploading now...
I ran over to the park on my way home this evening to snap off a few shots and only had about 10 minutes. They're uploading now into my gallery...and are big files so they'll take a while I'm sure to complete.
I'll edit and paste a few here in the morning...overall in comparison to my 40D I would say that these have much better colors and are quite noticeably sharper!!
Shot with a 24-70 2.8L
p.s. I know that composition and some exposure was off...but I completely blame that on myself for being in a rush.
I may sell my 1DIIN to get one in the spring before baseball. Why? Portability, resolution, room for cropping, better high ISO, ergonomics/controls, AF-on button, new processors, etc.
How would you compare the 7D and 5Dii in terms of "still quality"?
you are kidding right?
No comparison to full frame sensor...that's why Canon is charging $1k more for the 5D2.
Reader Questions
Whenever I get a question in regards to the 7D that others may want an answer to, I’ll post them here. Q. Would this camera be a good complement to a 5d2? I love the image (quality) of that camera, but I also love to go outside and shoot some birds & critters. I find the 5d2 slightly too sluggish in that regard. would a 7D fill that gap for me? A. There’s two answers to the question.
The 7D would be a great compliment to the 5D Mark II if you want increased responsiveness, snappy AI Servo autofocus and the big frame rate increase. If you bought the 5D Mark II because you wanted the best image quality you could afford, then the 7D may disappoint.
If you lower your image quality standards and realize you’re snapping birds in flight at 8fps, you’ll be happy with the 7D.

I pulled the trigger on the 5DII with lots of coaching from dgrinners (Ziggy, Nik, KDOG, A. Nelson et. al.). The picture quality offered by the FF sensor is what convinced me this was right for me. I already have a fast camera in the 50D, and down the road, if I need more speed I may also buy the 7D or whatever.

Should have this for Acadia Shootout
Thanks all.
From personal experience .... yo' is gonna love that camera. See you there!
I have the 17-40 f/4 L. It's a great lens, and pretty inexpensive by L standards. I was just out using it this morning; I'll upload something later tonight.

Nik can you notice any quality difference (noise) between the 50D and the 7D?

That review is suspect. The guy has two 1DIII's and only ever uses single AF point selection in servo? I don't get that.
An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.

I thought that sounded strange too.
Still, the part I quoted seems like a fair statement.

Got bored with digital and went back to film.
