I think some of you know my 400D died two weeks ago and i was out of camera. My bro was so generous and he bought me the 7D.

I received it today, played with it and i am in love with handling and grip and magical viewfinder huge improvements over 400D, i always wanted these things in camera.

Then comes the speed, especially auto focusing and countless options to enhance focusing. I tried auto focusing with 100mm macro (non IS) lens at 1:1 and it locked focus with no confusion and spot focusing is really useful here.

I think my keeper ratio is going to improve a lot thanks to excellent focusing of this camera. More discoveries are on the way and tomorrow is Flower Exhibition :D

    I would have to agree with Ziggy. He probably doesn't see it as a gift but a solid investment!

    congrats!!:D

    Congrats on the new camera!

    By an odd coincidence, just today I held a 7D in my hand for the first time. It felt nice. Very well made and designed.

    From what I've seen of Awais work - it is in his hands! And Awais, I'm loving my new 7d as well.

    I'm afraid your gonna have to go back to Sony if you want a full frame cam for 2K$. Good luck.

    I moved the discussion of whether the Canon 7D is a "pro" camera to this new thread:

    Further congratulations to Awais on his new camera will remain in this thread.
