If you can handle the lenses AF slower then possibly.


7D sounds ok. I havn't no need for it though. A 3D would be more interesting. I'm not going back to crop camera.

what would be in a 3d? I just can't see canon releasing a camera that bests the 5dmk2 in every aspect and not call it a 1d

7D announced, Canon unveils EOS 7D high-end digital SLR: Digital Photography Review

Well just like Nikon has D700 vs. D3, I wish Canon had a small body camera with nearly the same pro features. The 1 series can remain the 1 series.

D300s has dual memory slots so that even further erodes differences D300 had vs D3.

It would be nice to have better AF but I've just relegated the 5DII as model/location/studio cam so don't really use it in auto anything (except focus).

Well in the current scheme of things no. But they did just release the 7D which is a new moniker so here's to hoping although I wouldn't be interested in getting another camera. I want to see how the dust settles from a video standpoint since I use that a bit more now.

1Ds, high res, advanced full frame
1D, high speed
5D, basic full frame
7D, high speed, high res crop
xxD, prosumer
XXXD, consumer
XXXXD, entry level

Hm... I hadn't read anything about the 7D, so when I saw it mentioned in this thread I guessed it was going to be either a revised 5D mk2 or a more advanced 5D mk2.
I see it is a crop sensor, which makes me wonder why they didn't just call it something like the canon 60D.....

7d preview is up Canon EOS 7D Hands-on Preview: 3. What's New: Digital Photography Review

@lan I would love to see a 3d/7ds.

ISO 800 on the beta cam doesn't look too hot in this particular image here. I'll be eager to see other images from the final camera.

I really love to see new EF lenses too, but too bad it is only the 100L Macro.

 

[beerguy0]

I pulled the trigger and pre-ordered one from Canoga Camera. I've got a feeling that this camera might be hard to get down the road.

 

[milkpowder]

The specs do look great, but I really don't know why they had to shove in so many pixels. The beta cam's images aren't that convincing at high ISOs. Canon seems to think that the output is quite clean though seeing as they offer a rather impressive max sensitivity. I'm silently jealous that you'll be getting one

I ran across a posting on the Fred Miranda forum that said Rob Galbraith's tests of the 5DII showed far more noise than users are actually seeing, so I'm taking his 7D results with a grain of salt.

Image Resource has controlled comparison images that look much better. I'm optimistic that the IQ of this camera will be worth it, despite all the griping on the DPReview forums.

I just wish this thing was full frame/aps-h. ughh

x a billion.

I would buy one today if it were full frame at that price.

I REALLY like the electronic level.

Maybe another generation or two (a couple of years) at the most, then will we see full frame at D300s/7D prices. I sure hope they'll keep churning out professional level APS-C cameras though because it's a godsend for those without a wallet that an handle super telephotos.

I expect electronic level to be introduced into lower end cameras very soon. All it is is an accelerometer, and many phones have it already so it can't be that tricky to implement.

Would I be interested in a more pro AF version of a 5D? Sure but not at higher price than the current 5D. The 7D if it did have full frame sensor would be more expensive. That would put it in a strange spot below 1D.
