I just bought a 7D for video. I am having a Hilter-bought-5D mood.
Right, reminds me of the excitement about the G11, only to find it didn’t have HD video. Huh? Makes you scratch your head. It is like some guys were sitting around the lunch room table and said, “Hey, we could…” and it seemed like a neat idea. I guess some private eye would appreciate it….
Badge envy?? what’s that all about?
7D is a great camera. T2i reviews won’t even be out for months and who knows what they will reveal?
7D is still top of my list. Besides, it doesn’t matter what you buy, it will become old fast. Today the DSLR world is changing faster than the PC world did during it’s fastest growth period. This is a ground-breaking period for DSLR’s.
If you shot photos in the film days, you’d realize that you are saving a fortune on film and developing today, plus you get instant feedback and much faster learning as a result. By that measure, a 7D and a 5D are a bargain. I really wish I was just starting out, this is an incredibly great time to be a photographer/videographer.
Not a comprehensive list by any means, but here goes:
– hugely better AF
– weather sealing
– AF micro adjustment
– perhaps slightly better ISO performance
– 1/8000 s, not 1/4000s
– wireless flash control
