Let's just hope that they haven't sacrificed even more high ISO noise performance for more MP's, which we really didn't need on a cropper.
If they somehow managed to do it, I would definitely be intrigued.

Holy cow that price is low! Wow wow wow I'm so lusting right now. I was sure it would be closer to the 300s territory at $2k.
Same goes for the 100mm L, great pricing Canon! hit the mark perfectly!
10-4, Canon GREAT JOB!!
Getting one of the 7D's and the new macro,
SWEEEEEEEEEET,

this 7d thing, if it has just as good of AF as 1 series, seems like they are killing the 1d and the next 1ds4 will be both the 1d and 1ds put together.

Hard to believe no?

Why, why, why, couldn't they put the new AF system and the better weather sealing in the 5DII

Calm down people. The AF is pretty much 50D af with more points and some more processing. This is not going to compete with the 1 series.
Should be a sweet compromise tho

i think the 7d high iso will be at least as good/bad as the 50d
from dpreview
"18 Megapixel C MOS sensor. The EOS 7D sports a new 18 MP APS-C CMOS sensor which is an in-house development. Canon claims the sensor delivers an improved signal to noise ratio which is achieved through a new photodiode and microlens design. The EOS 7D's sensor features the gapless microlenses that we first saw on the EOS 50D but on the new model the distance between microlenses and photodiodes has been reduced which results in the light being more easily focused onto the photodiode."

I wish this camera supported SD cards.
Yeah, we all paid good bucks for flash cards back in the day, but now, good Kingston Elite 8GB cards are routinely $20 at Fry's. A card reader is $10. I would not call $50 bucks 'substantial' given a $1700 camera.
I just bought an E-P1 and owned zero SD cards and had to invest the 50 bucks to get 16GB of capacity, which is plenty for now. I am not complaining, at the memory prices of today.

Gotta say, if everything actually works as planned, Canon did a pretty good job with the 7D. You gotta be kidding if you think the AF will best the current 1D series but for what you get at that price? Gold.
I just hope they get around to putting this AF (or whatever the updated one may be) in the 5DII's successor.

Forget the 7d, I'm waiting for the rebates to be announced. the 70-200mm f/4 IS is 1169 at B&H, and Canon is supposed to have 150 off. Include my 25 gift card, and I'll be under a grand for a new one, much better than paying 950 for a used one.

There should be a 5D MkIII that will inherit the new AF. Sorry we need to wait for it,
but I think the next 5D will be very compelling.

All e of y digital cameras and my audio recorder support SD cards. My computer has a convenient SD reader. To add one CF using device just throws a monkey wrench into the whole thing.
Get a SD to CF flash adaptor.
Otherwise just get some new cards. They are really cheap now.
