Marking photos with Canon 7D
I am taking photos of a football game Friday night and want to mark certain photos as the game goes on so they are the only ones downloaded to my computer for editing. Is there is way to mark photos using the Canon 7D?
Thanks,
Chris

(Or, a 1-series Canon, to be fair)
I'm betting Canon will step it up in a generation or so, since the competition is getting pretty steep and Canon's marketing department will not be able to hold hostage such features much longer. Maybe the 7D mk2 will even have a built-in intervalometer!
(BTW, sorry if I sounded like an ass. I'm actually a nice guy when it comes to "brand wars". I shoot both...)

You can tag images and filter them out either in camera or Bridge/Lightroom after using the Protect Images feature on the images you want to keep.
In camera, select the Delete All option, and it will only delete unprotected images and leave the protected keepers on the card. Via Bridge/LR, select all the images, click delete, and the non protected images will be tagged as rejected. Then you can filter the rejects out and delete them. Sometimes it doesn't tag them all the first time, but keep re-selecting the images and hit delete and it'll resume rejecting the unprotected images.
In field if you're in a jam for more space, protecting the keepers and selecting delete all is handy so you can sweep the junk out and keep shooting. Performance suffers with lots of rewriting, but if you're in a jam, its a good backup plan to know about. I added the Protect Images option to my custom menu since I use it regularly.

I have the 5D Mark II and it does not have copyright info abilities

Yes its a time-based thing not just model line. I'm pretty sure they'll add it to most/all future DSLRs.
Canon doesn't want to produce the best still camera... It wants to produce the best selling morphidite still/video camera with print from camera capability and a swinging LCD. To compete with Nikon's equally morphidite selections.
However, I do use the video capability of my 7D as a note pad for recording information about my stills. That is the only way I use the video...

Ahhhh... I read every page of the manual when I got the camera but I guess I really wasn't paying attention. Well, you can't input the info in the camera anyhow if you try menu-searching, and that's what I did later to find if I could copyright stuff. I was so wrong. :help
I wish I knew this earlier! But wait, I did know it earlier. Damn and blast! Re-learning forgotten information. Am I getting old?
Well, I've got to get a jump on importing that copyright info now.
Oh, is it something you have to do on that Canon software thingie? Cause I *KNOW* it is not in a menu like the rest of the cameras that have it as an option...

Correct. You can do it via canon software.
I tend to ignore bundled software since in the computer world most of it sucks and is only supplementary. This isn't the computer world though, its camera world That was my goof up.
Yeah, I hate having to adopt new things just because the manufacturer says so. I mean I'm a huge geek and I love technology, most of the time, but I'm also a HUGE opponent of "change for the sake of change" and companies who force things on you subtly. Like the whole RAW file format thing, I mean seriously. If Canon and Nikon REALLY wanted to, they could easily find a way to make each new RAW format compatible with the current generation of processing software. Instead, every time a new camera comes out the early adopters are stuck either shooting JPG or using the proprietary software, for a few weeks / months before an Adobe etc. update comes out. Adobe has gotten pretty quick at it, but I definitely feel sorry for the others out there who use programs that don't get updated as soon. Either way it's all pretty lame.
I guess this is the wave of the future though, so I better start getting on board if I want to stay current... I can only imagine what crazy things they'll have thought of in 5-10 years...
