You must be joking. The performance of a 7D is not even close to the 1D3/4. And you say the 7D can do pretty much everything the 1D3 can. Here are a few things it can't do, and the 1D3 is much better at.
AF
AI servo tracking
10 fp/s
Two memory card slots
shutter durability
weather sealing
shutter lag
VF blackout
Focus screens changing (many different)
MF
Viewfinder is much better
Battery capacity
Shooting in portrait orientation
lars nails it.
i tried the 7d on two different occasions only to sell it and keep the 1d3.
Uh oh where are the cheerleaders when the 7D needs them?? Don't you guys know you can't be critical of the 7D noise/performance on FM? Here comes imagemaster to defend the 7D with his bird photos in 3....2...1
Pro body depreciation is amazing really. Now, where can I find an EOS-1N RS?
I have also been looking at other threads and the 1D IIn vs 1D III AF debates. Many hold the AF of the IIn, and the entire camera, in high regard.
A factor to consider, it would seem, is high ISO and no video (not a concern). I would think the 7D II would have better high ISO capabilties. But that might be a tragic presumption based on the current 7D.
Now for those with experience, do the 1D series AF drives - the motors - drive AF on super teles much better?
I remember using a 300 f2.8L on my ESO 50, and the 50 could hardly push all that glass around. So the AF units must be much, much stronger.
