Should I get 7D now or wait for MKII?

<< < (11/11)

rcouttolenc:
I have a 40D which is a great camera, it's burst (fps) is one of the best, and still an APS-C sensor which helps to get more reach.
Couple with a 17-55mm f/2.8 IS (superb, close to L-quality), a 65mm f/2.8 macro (very handy) and a 70-300mm IS I have 95% of any need!
I believe the 7D is a superstar and I am still thinking on upgrading, but there are few things that make me wait: Photokina 2012 is just 8 weeks away to see if they replace it (rumors say they will have a FF this time which I am not interested), but if they come with an APS-C sensor, 61 focus points and ISO ay 25,600; for sure I will go for it!
If not, guys, they are selling the 7D for $1,550 and less if you go refurbished.

I guess it is a personal preference. I was waiting for a 7D2 and in April my patience ran out after 18 months. I did not want to limit myself to the iso of the 7D so I bought the 5d3. If you can wait another few weeks, do that as there are a slew of cameras coming down.

GEEo:
So far the 7D is what I expected and more! I'm very happy with my 7D!! For now I went with the 18-135 kit.

Looking on getting a 24-105 L or a 17-55 later on this year. and a couple more lenses later don't the road.

Thanks again for all the advices and suggestions guys!! Very much appreciated!!  ;D

I'll post up some shots of it after I get back from my Dallas trip this weekend. :D

I guess you will be on the lookout for a refurb then :D

Here's a couple shoots I've done with my 7D so far.

This is my very first DSLR so I apologize if my photos are not quite up to par with the one's here on the site. ;D

Feel free to critique my photos and Tips and Suggestions are also welcome. ;D
