A couple of you have mentioned you think your images are a bit soft when using Live View. I'm curious. Do you have a hypothesis as to why this would be?
I can only think of the focus being a reason for this, but I thought the contrast detect focus in LV was supposed to be very accurate.
Or, were you using "Quick Mode" where the mirror drops and you use the phase-detect AF mode?
EDIT: By the way, forgot to mention: Nice Squirrel
Just noticed this note associated with the new firmware download:

Haha, if this is Avian Jaundice, I will take it everyday. :-)
Thank you all, yes, it was sunset time. It was an overcast day actually, the sun suddenly broke out from behind the clouds right before setting, the light became absolutely gorgeous for 10 minutes :-). Best part is that they were feeding and completely ignored me (due to the distance between us as well).
I just bought a 7d, havnt had time to shoot much, it was raining since i got it, yesterday the sun finaly came out. here are just a few shots, nothing technical, for those interested

If you notice, most are telephoto photogs. At least that is why I purchased one. Otherwise, for studio and indoor work, events, weddings, etc... I go with my 5D and 5D2 every time. The 7D and 1D3 are my sports/wildlife bodies...(well at this point, the 1D3 is...until I get a fully functioning 7D).

What amazes me is that there is such demand and interest in a 1.6 crop camera. I remember a few years back when we all thought they were going away. It's a good thing to have choices.
I'm just saying. I use and love my crop canon

For wildlife, one cannot get a better bargain than a 7D...I am already drooling at the prospects with my 600 mm reach (max) considering I love to travel light and to stay under the radar. A 1.6x crop with 18mp rocks for wildlife !
