Congratulations Canon to another great Camera release!!

It's like DxO.

Their lab results don't stop me taking pictures I'm happy with, or shooting video my clients are happy with.

But then, it is good to know if there are major problems in tech land. My experience is that Canon aren't going to tell you (banged my head against wall with mass CCD failure, 7D CF failure) unless they really have a gun at their heads.

If it was all about making pictures and tech didn't matter we'd be as well drawing with stones on a cave wall.

Yeah, 6Mp probably was good enough.

For me coming from film, I can't ever see me using ISO 102'500. Not in the DNA.

Don't need AF for video.

But then it's not all about me, or about the folk who don't want to talk tech. On a tech forum.

Yes, but even in caveman days there was new technology....

I have a 7d and a 600d, and both are working as well as when I bought them, which was well.

I see no reason at all to upgrade for now, which gives me more money for glass, or the other parts of the equation.

Even had the 700 been something extra special I probably would be quite happy to keep using what I'm using.

My next purchases are hopefully going to be a c100 and an m, as both will give me a practical advantage over what I currently use for given situations (the c100 will be a work purchase, so not quite a luxury buy)

Canon needn't have launched the 700 or 650 in my opinion.

The 100 seems to be aimed squarly at the gh2 or gh3 type market.

And the good news for those with older cameras is that the 60d, 600d and 650d may well drop in price.

Out of interest, what is the 7D compact flash issue you mention?
