Could be some sort of AF selection or AF mode selection shortcut. One shot > Servo. Or Single point > Zone. We'll see about that quite soon I guesstayassu said:I wonder what that switch around the joystick is supposed to do...
My hunch is a way to switch between different AF point modes. Single point, expansion, full 65 pt AF...tayassu said:I wonder what that switch around the joystick is supposed to do... But I am very pleased with the button layout, looks great, just like the 5DIII. The wheel looks a bit funny though with these direction markings, but I don't care about that. I don't know if we had this before, will it use the same battery as the old 7D?

I'm really torn. One group that I talk to is saying that the 70D was only a marginal upgrade over the T2i (that I currently use). They're also saying the 7Dii is going to probably only be a marginal upgrade as well. I bought the T2i years ago when I was first learning how to shoot. But there's a lot of people on this forum saying the image quality would be massively improved over the T2i if I switched to the ii.
I'm photographing mainly wildlife, about 85% of what I photograph is birds, smallish ones. In actuality I'm only using the center focus point probably 90% of the time as well, since I'm good at getting in the range of my 400mm, and it's close enough that the center point covers most of the bird.
May skip the ii, and maybe go to a 5diii or 6d or something, since I'm not hurting for reach in the least.
