Pierre.

You realise that is tantamount to treason here, you will get flamed for doing such a swap.

If I hadn't already sold all my 1DII's I'd do exactly the same

David

thought you were done with crop?

Indeed I am and very happy about it (although I haven't sold my 50D yet)

But I think it's a very good move for a sport shooter (which I'm definitely not)

David

I am a sports shooter and as long as the AF can keep up then I'm sold. I guess the AF won't be 1D class but if it's close then that's OK. I expect that there are going to be a lot of part time sports shooters and DWC's with too much money who will pair this body with a 70-200/4 and get themselves a very capable sports setup. Throw in the 300/4 and/or 400/5.6 and there will soon be a lot more weekend warrior sports shooters out there.

I guessed.

It's incredible what the manufacturers can now do in such a small sensor, the 7D would be very tempting if I did the kind of things it's good at. I'm sure the next 5D will be along those lines and all the better for it with the new focusing system.

I'd find the internal level REALLY useful too, the hotshoe mounted ones aren't always that accurate

I just sold my 5D classic this morning (in order to pay in part for the 7D), but have felt somewhat sad for its departure all day. Your post have lifted my spirit again, so thanks a lot for it!

Do you have a grid screen? It helps a little

I missed my 5D so much I had to buy another, never done that before

Wait a second...

I thought there was a huge debate/hand wringing over the fact that the 7D did NOT allow you to swap viewing screens?

that is my understanding...but it actually has some sort of intelligent grid that can be turned off and on...pretty cool actually

Nice photos for those ISO's. I'm also curious about its AI Servo tracking capabilities.

Yup, me too. I concluded some time ago that i must be naturally lopsided. No matter what i do i seem to end up with the same slanting horizon every time.

David

Treason...maybe, I can handle the flames.

My 1DII has served me well but I need to shift it while it still has some residual value. If I keep it until the MkIV is announced, its value will drop further so I think now is the time for it to go. I'll give the 7D a test drive first but if it produces the goods then it's a done deal.
Interesting. For not too much more (assuming you buy the 7D with grip), you could have a used 1DIII instead (US prices). Sounds like you both feel the 7D isn't giving up too much to the MkIII.

I'm wrestling with the same question, i.e. used MkIII or the 7D. Leaning towards the 7D, although I'd like to see more low-light AI Servo examples of the 7D AF (for ISO3200 & 6400 ice hockey).

Mark

Sure, a used 1DIII is tempting but in reality, I'm treating the 7D as a stop gap measure until the 1DMkIV is announced rather than a long term solution. I need something with better high ISO performance than the 1DII and even if the 1DMkIV is announced soon, it will be months before I can get hold of one and I have events this year that I'm already comitted to.

A comparison between the 1DIII & 7D would be useful.

Pierre.

That's good to hear - I knew it was the best option.

I just bought a 5D Mark II and although it's not a sports camera, I have used it for some sports and it's done quite well. My 7D came in yesterday and I hope to get out and shoot with it this weekend. After playing around with the 7D today, I feel I can sell the Mark III. I agree the 7D's set-up will take some time to get used to.

I can assure you these were shot with my new 7D...lol...I post my event stuff on Smugmug and for some reason the EXIF doesn't come over...any suggestions on how else to make you believe?
