I'm under the weather with nasty cold, but that hasn't stopped me from playing around with a 7D.
I'll let you know what I think of it tomorrow.
cr
Waiting mine from Adorama.
waiting mine from amazon. no credit card charge or email…. so im going to get it never !
Is it as good as the rumors said ;-)
JT
Mine is at Post Canada… won’t get it before Wednesday.
i think im gonna miss out on this one… i live in chile and a friend is travelling next week, she flies back on friday… i think im SOL…
I havent preordered!
I dont know what to do!!
enjoy buddy and lets see whats going on the 29th.
I’m also still waiting for a call from Adorama. I expect it this week, most USA sellers are listing October 1 as a shipping date
HII..thanx 4 news…i want to know whether its worth to upgrade fom canon 5D to 7D…is the new camera really good?
One feature that I’ve found is the “Quiet Shutter” option.. Might come in handy with wildlife
thanx for the question. new camera really good. go buy now.
Neato!! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts, where’d you purchase from?
not wildlife but candid.
Errr. Maybe for the perverts amongst us.. :)
Myself, I think it will be good for birds which are easily spooked.. I’m going to find out this weekend.
29th is in a couple of hours or in a days time? like midnight of the 29th?
“Quiet Shutter”? This camera is SOLD if this is true… I shoot theater performances, and people are always looking over at me when I take pictures because my 40D sounds like a rifle…
I’ll be interested to see what you think. For myself, though, I went for a 5D2 once it was confirmed that the 7D was APS-C.
how does the build quality compare to the 50d? Does it feel more rugged?
me 2 .. waiting waiting..
every body in north america is gonna have it before us.. :(
well, at least if we got the second or third patch we won’t have the gletches or issues of the first patch right ? :P
I get it, you needed a day of work to test the 7d
still waiting for an email from adorama…
preordered Sept 8th… hopefully i’m not too far down the list for shipments…
If the 40D sounds like a rifle, the 20D sounds like a tank.
Here too another one that preordered from Adorama. Waiting, waiting, waiting …. while the rest of the world already has one of these babies in their hands. Yesterday Adorama had the Yom Kippur Holiday, so who knows what they are up to …
Arggghhh!!!
I don’t think that going from a 5D to a 7D is an upgrade.
Please give us some crop examples of image parts at center and border taken with the new lenses with at 18mm,22mm,31mm,53mm,85mm,135mm or 15mm,17.5mm,22mm,31mm,53mm,85mm . Unfortunetly Canon shows us only two MTF-charts with a lines-per-mm scale not reflecting 18MP of a crop sensor.
With lenses are available yet?
The list of things that are better in the 7D is a lot longer than the list of things that are better in the 5D. :)
To some that single advantage the 5D holds over the 7D is significant, to others it isn’t.
Please let us know how it stacks up against the D300s…I myself currently own a Canon XTi (400D), and was positively set on jumping boat over to Nikon before I heard of the 7D. Now I’m really stuck on the fence. I wanted to switch due to Canon’s lack of a capable opponent in rivaling Nikon’s (previously?) superior semi-pro cropped sensor lineup…the 50D was no match for D300, much less D300s…but now the 7D has changed everything.
I really can’t decide on this one. Could anyone offer some opinions, as non-biased as possible? (Of course, I accept the fact that I am posting on a Canon rumors site…)
Oh, and how sturdy is the build quality/feel stack up to Nikon this time around?
Thanks in advance!
This is the announcement you have been promised. ;)
Cr guy!
Could you test it’s dynamic range?
My biggest problem with the 50D was the lack of dynamic range compared to older, bigger pixel sized cameras…
Like RAW headroom…
It would be great to see if there is any improvement about this, I’m sure the other features work just as fine as advertised. Or not? :)
Got mine today….Luv it!!!!
Witch lens?
Body only…
For a moment, I thought you were writing about the swine flu vaccine.
Mr. CR, to presentation of 29 09 2009?
yes 09.09.29’s Event.
NO CR here ?
Will it make me take better photos?
40D sound like a rifle and 20D sounds like a tank… so what 350D sounds like?!
“YOU are taking photo, not the CAMERA…”
We must wait until the first reviews are published
The sensor will require L lenses to deliver the most of its capabilities
Bad lenses or entry level lenses are not for this camera
the most important thing to keep in mind is, the 7D is a 1.6x crop sensor, while the 5D is full frame.
so if you “upgrade” (not really an upgrade, more of a switch) to the 7D you will need to get different lenses in order to keep the same focal lengths that you had with the 5D.
tell us you’re joking. really.
the only two things that can possibly MAKE you take better photos are:
1. your own motivation
2. someone threatening you with bodily harm
both have worked for me
don’t get your hopes up. probably a gigantic Selphy printer/fax/copier
but if it can walk the dog too then I might be interested
Congratulations.

I have had the same thoughts…switching from my old Digital Rebel/300D to Nikon. The info. I read/samples I saw from the 50D did not get me into the store to buy one. I considered the 40D but am interested in the video option. I am probably going to wait to see what the 60D brings because I do want the basic modes so my wife can use the camera too. I assume/hope some of he new technology trickles to the 60D. Plus, the 60D will probably be $400-600$ cheaper.
Louder please I can’t hear you, what are you saying?
Yes. The build quality is definitely better.
That’s not a difficult test.. Even my 50D could do that.
I’m more interested to see the performance when trying to capture a smaller, faster bird against a busy background (i.e trees).
Here’s some better shots, with more difficult conditions:

Could you put the latest DPP (3.7) that came bundled up on some hosting website… please ??
yeah, congrats!! Looking forward to hearing your comments.
Bad lenses or entry level lenses are not for ANY halfway-decent DSLR. Even Rebels benefit from top-quality glass.
Doesn’t Canon put that on their website?
They will eventually, but probably not for another month or so =(
In the meantime, we can’t evaluate 7D RAW files…
My 7D Just arrived from Amazon.com via UPS (I’m in Southern NJ).
Body Only was ordered on the Sept 2nd, and I’m a Prime Member for the $3.99 one day shipping option. My Charge Card showed the hit :-) Monday Morning, so I knew it was coming.
Also you should know I was in a local Mall here in South Jersey today, and the Ritz Camera Store had 20!!!! in stock. I would have bought one right away, but I had mine on the way from Amazon.com already!
Now what’s really funny, i walk right out of the store and call them at that exact Ritz Store! I’m told on the phone there is “NONE in stock” at all until the end of October into November. Sounds fishy to you? Here is what i was told when I confronted them while I was still on the phone walking back into the store. “The 7D’s they have arre ONLY for the walk in customers, period!” I felt like I was an undercover 6 ABC News Reporter or something. I think the Manager almost pooped himself when he saw me walk in holding and talking on the phone to him. I wish i had a film crew with me to catch the look on his face!
We’re all still laughing here at the office about it.

LEWL,
it wouldn’t be a bad idea if I was, would it ? :p
Adorama Started shipping peoploe !!
well almost, my card got rejected.
if that happened to me… i would have fainted… lol
Well, I always believe that things happen for a reason.
I cannot under stand how I entered my CCV wrong when the transaction was accepted when I pre-ordered the camera.
well, Good things happen for those who wait (or so they say). Beside I’m not going to use the 7d for anything soon anyway (My first photo shoot with it will be in F1 race in Abu Dhabi).
FYI: 17th Street Photo has the 7D BODY – IN STOCK!!!! LOTS OF THEM $1699.99
They are a Canon Dealer, so no worries at all. I personally have spent a small fortune from them, and they are TOP NOTCH!!!

I will see what happens with adorama and if things didn’t go well I will cancel my order with them and go with 17th street. Thank you for the Info Scott.
Nobody is talking about HOW SMOOTH the direct print button is. Feels better than Leica!
Since i’m getting back 182.xx dollars back from bing cashback bringin it to $152X.xx i’m not cancelling my order with adorama… i’m willing to wait for my shipment from adorama. I just wanna know when i’m getting my camera… lol
I had one in my hands today at Colorfoto so any Portuguese (or anyone on vacation here) looking for one they have them in stock ;)
received my tracking number in my email from Adorama. Preordered my camera on Sept 8th
I went to Adorama today and they had just received 3 body’s. I bought one, some dude bought the other, and the third? Who knows.
> 40D sound like a rifle and 20D sounds like a tank… so what 350D sounds like?!
a wet pancake falling on a linoleum floor?
> Will it make me take better photos?
of course! it’s got a direct print button, doesn’t it?
apreantly the first patch in adorama was sold out, and I didn’t get mine because of the “payment issue” I believe that the payment issue was a cover for not getting me my camera. I still cannot understand how the CVV can change. I’ve also been waiting for their response for 12 hours. nothing yet.
ah, and its too late now. 17thphoto is sold out as well. I guess I’m all alone now. lets hope that nothing goes wrong with the 7d I’m purchasing from amazon. If one body can make on time then I can live with no backup.
lock at how funny things have become.. I ordered from both amazon (2th sep) and adorama (3th sep) and I have not recieved either. But at least I recieved 2 extra batteries! I can use them with my 5d mkII.. Now I can double my stock photography, commercial photography working time!
lol, i can imagine the sound of that.. :>
My 7d just arrived this morning.
Ordered from Amazon Germany, PhotoUniversal for 1629€
Will post some reviews soon on my personal BLOG.
