ITS HERE!!!! MY Canon 7D

[tmjjk]

My canon 7d arrived today!! So exciting... unfortunately my cf card has not arrived with it I feel like I am dying in anticipation!! If the cf card does not arrive by 12:00 tomorrow, I think I will head to the closest retail store that carries them! I am so excited. I have been reading all day and watching youtube videos...

Do any of you recommend anywhere to start?

Go ahead and make sure your battery is charged.

Love my 7D, upgraded from a T1i.

This camera is so equipped with features its overwhelming.

The best part about this camera, IMHO, is the AF system, its fantastic.

Yeah, I use both a 5D Mkii and a 7D for work, and the 7Ds auto focus seems​ to be much better than the 5DMkii

I've heard they are pretty close, depending on what you are shooting, but I've never used an MKII before, but im starting to really get to know the AF system and its pretty sick, way better than the T1i was, obviously since it was a rebel lol. Upgrading was a great choice, really pushes me to learn more and really get to know the camera and get comfortable with it.

Amazing this camera is how old now and still sells pretty well.

We have some 5DMkiii's too, and those kill both the 7D and mkii by a lot, but for some reason I always feel like the 7Ds are faster than the mkii's

Haha, I hope the MKIII kills the 7D, it better for how new and the price. And by faster do you feel the 7D has a faster auto focus than the MKII? I've been thinking about trying to find a decently priced MKII just to mess around with on full frame, have always wondered how different FF is compared to crop.

It could all be in my head, but yeah, I think the 7D autofocus is a bit faster than the mkii. Though I think that's nothing to do with FF v. crop frame, just a difference in how the two autofocus (again, assuming the difference is real, and not just in my head).

How's this even an argument? The 7D creams the 5D2 in autofocus. The 5D2's crappy 1 cross-type autofocus point is easily the camera's weakest point. I thought it was well-known to use the 7D for anything fast moving and the 5D2 for anything else.

The autofocus system in the 7D is far more robust than the 5D2s. The 7D has 19 cross-type focus points, and the 5DII has one.

The very first thing I started researching was the focus features!! They are awesome and the camera is FAST! I think I'm in love! It's pouring rain here... I'm dying to get out there..

That's what I thought as well, though somebody argued with me about it the other day, so I didn't want to seem overly sure of myself about this.

If you have the cash the 5DMkIII would be the way to go. Like getting a 7D and 5D cross-bread. I absolutely enjoy my 7D. I have a blast being able to shoot any style I like, shoot at night with no flash, do portraits and landscapes, table top stuff and the shoot some cycles or cars.
