Ho-hum. I've used the 7D and it is a bit heavy (the guy who owned it had a BG-E7 on it, which added a bit of weight). Thank God for autofocus. It's not impossibly heavy for me (I held it with a 580EX II, and that was kinda uneasy), but if the 60D was noticeably lighter, I'd consider it.
I can check out the specs meself, Doc
I wanted to know if it felt much lighter...But thanks. :

LOL, well, I'd guess it feels about 5 oz lighter.
Seriously, though, since the weight difference isn't huge, how it feels is going to depend a lot on the ergonomics of the body in your hands, right? Your best bet is to grab ahold of one and see for yourself. Adorama has them in stock, so Best Buy and local brick-and-mortar stores won't be too far behind...

Ah, Adorama has 'em? Maybe I'll take a 30-minute ride to Manhattan.

Fuji didn't just use an F mount, they bought bodies from Nikon. The Fuji S5 Pro is a Nikon D200 with Fuji sensor and electronics. The Fuji S2 Pro was based on the Nikon N80.

Maybe Canon waits for the end of Photokina to show the 1ds mk4!
ihope that they renew their flagship soon, since it it isn't the best anymore.
And it's sad that yyyyou don't get to play with their lenses or save pictures on your card, makes me almost think their afraid of the results if people take a quick shot without really knowing the camera.

Canon has already announced five lenses to be released this year (70-200mm f/2.8 IS II, 70-300mm f/4-5.6L, fisheye zoom, and upgrades to 300mm & 400mm primes), and made early announcements on the 400mm & 500mm primes to be released next year.
I'm uncertain why Canon didn't wait with the announcements for Photokina, but based on the last decade, five lenses is on par for Canon, so I would think any additional lens announcements at Photokina would be a surprise, rather than the expected.

Kind of a bummer w/ them being coy. Is there going to be another announcement later in the show perhaps?
Ohh, and have you gotten to check out the Schneider lenses for Canon yet?
I saw you got to hold the S95. Thanks for letting us know that they fixed the wheel...good news!

The new Fuji looks great and it's in my price range, if it is around £1000. Its my favorite field of view to shoot with too, just wide enough to give a different perspective to what you see with the eye. There is beauty in keeping things simple, clean and functional.
I really like the look of the new layout to the G12 it gets more fun to use each revision since the G7, which has served me very well mine even went for a dip in the sea and still works. I'd really like to see what Canon could do with some development on lens(es?) for a G12s.
Whatever next? Digital Medium Format rangefinder anyone? It'd be well out of what I could afford but I'm sure people that could would love one.

BTW, CRguy, thanks for the quick note on the SX 30 IS - it did seem gimmicky, but that's based on spec and assumptions about real-world performance. If the 840mm end is good, that makes the camera a lot more interesting! Canon's restriction on inserting a memory card for a quick test bites, I must say.
This is one heck of a lot of glass!

Re: Photokina 2010 Continued
Looks pretty small in this image compared to a 60D (from the gh2 preview on dpreview)... just over half the weight too.

I realise it's not as small as the GF1 or Sonys, but it's got the new sensor and I want to see how the images compare.
