And, Canon no longer provides firewire drivers for it. You can find older drivers, and if you have firewire on a 32 bit XP machine, then you can access some settings that are only available that way.
USB 1.1 is not a problem, use a card reader.

I guess I'm confused. Can you guys list or do you know the settings that CANNOT be accessed on a 64-bit system? Thanks!

With my 60d, I always put the sd card into the built-in slot in my laptop - much faster than usb2, and it doesn't wear down the camera mini-usb port by constantly plugging and unplugging a cable.

I think he meant they were the same on a basic level, their main differences are in the body/build quality and burst rate. And the T2i/T3i dont have 1/3 stop ISO increments, but the differences in IQ are negligible. For stills the differences are bigger, but if someone is just shooting video you'd be hard pressed to tell the differences between the T3i/60D/7D.

I disagree on the video side of things. The flip out screens of the T3i & 60D, the manual audio levels of the T3i & 60D and the Magic Lantern compatability make the 7D the weakest choice for video.
Intermediate ISO and live hdmi output aren't enough of a benefit, IF you are buying purely on a video basis.
Depending on your stills interests then the arguements for the 7D may well be more compelling. I say this as an owner of both the 7D and the T3i, and a serious video user.

Nobody I hope - it has the same sensor as the 60d/600d, no swivel screen and doesn't run magic lantern (the hdr video feature alone...). And it doesn't have live view video af like the 650d, quick af with the 7d doesn't make up for that. Furthermore, for some more $$$ you're getting the 5d2 (magic lantern again) and much higher iso capability...

I bought one for video when it was actually the best option. Canon had launched the 5D2 but without a 25fps / PAL mode, the 500D didn't have full frame full HD and the 7D WAS the best option at that time.
Buying now, for video, I wouldn't (the fact I've had a 550D and 600D since, speaks volumes) but it is still a superlative action stills camera, and I'm glad I have it.
Live view video AF? C'mon guys. Video and AF don't go. Particularly with large sensors and shallow DoF. AF quality or lack therof in live view mode should not even register on the scale. If you are a grandad shooting birthday partys, get a compact, or use your phone. If you are at all serious, switch the AF off.

Actually, they really only have the same pixel density, and perhaps the same microlenses. The sensors are not the same electronically, you can NOT use a T2i, T3i, 60D sensor in a 7D, they are NOT the same part number, the 7D's sensor has an 8 channel readout compared to the others 4 channel readout.
So, yes the T3i and the 7D are identical in the number of megapixels and metering system they have, other than that they are completely different cameras.

While I'm sure they're all great cameras, I choose the 7d over the others because of the build quality and the ergonomics. It fits in my large hands perfectly. The rebels are just too small.

Incidently the T3i & T4i will both auto focus in video mode with the new 40MMM AST lens Both cameras will also use the Radio Mode of the 600 EX RT flashes, and am i the only shooter to have purchased a Firewire card reader for CF SDHC THOSE DUMB SONY CARDS ETC>>> i have never talked to anyone else that owns one??

1. T3i will af in video / live view mode with 40mm STM, as will every canon dslr with live view and video.
T4i has improved af thanks to phase detection and contrast af points also on sensor. Stick. Wrong end. Have. You.
2. T3i compatable with radio flashguns? Not in menu. No firmware upgrade. Are you a liar?
If not knowingly a liar then it seems you are quite gullable, as...
3. Yes. Only you.
