7D and the 15-85 IS combo is a home run from Canon IMO.

Looks like I won't have to go FF after all. Now all I need is the high ISO RAW samples.

Fred thank you. It was getting old weeding through 15 different threads.

Figures that I'd be the first on the "other thread" to violate Fred's suggestion.
Unintentional! Honest!

the camera specs are awesome.. but the sample pictures lack the crispness compared to 40D or 5D ... noise at iso 1600 looks terrible as well and not that great at iso 200 either ...
does the 7D do pixel binning ? .

15-85 would be a 24-136 would be nearly equivalent to the EF 28-135

Man the $800 tag on the 15-85 scares me.

Where are you comparing the pictures, on imaging-resource.com I am not seeing any what you are seeing? Crispness, noise at 1600?
No Binning going on!!

IS works and give you 4 stops!!
But $800 is very very expensive, at least in my opinion , it better be totally awesome.

What lenses were used in those samples though? I saw the DPreview sample of a bridge taken with the 17-55IS, looks plenty crisp to me. Also bear in mind that these probably haven't gone through any post processing. A little high pass sharpening and USM and they'll look fine.

I'm glad Canon is finally listening to it's customers regarding; better AF, weather sealing,
manual control in movie mode, 1080/24....
Now all that's left is:
*To STOP adding more pixels to the sensors, we want less noise!!!!
*To add more Full Frame options to Canon's lineup.(2 21Mp cams is not much of a selection)
Bring on the 1D4 and the 3D!!!

Kudos to Canon for what looks to be a great cam on paper!

Am I the only one not very impressed? The 50D already shows the limits of noise and resolution on the small sensor. The 7D will have more pixels, and even if the noise level is the same, what good is the difference?

I like the wireless flash commander mode. Maybe canon are listening to those who use off camera flash.

doesnt a new sensor design mean anything? with regard to noise at High ISO if not why would Canon bother if there wasnt a difference from the 50D...not to mention 2x digic4s...amazes me
