Nice clean backgound and wonderfully posed, Romy. Any chance to check out the 7D on BIF's yet?

Thanks, Ken. My two-day field test was rained out, not much BIFs captured. I'll probably wait for a production 7D before testing the camera again.

Its video function and fast fps are great and high ISOs don't exhibit banding up to 6400. I have no opinion yet on its AF performance simply because I wasn't able to shoot it extensively at BIFs (continuous rains spoiled my field test). As regards IQ, here are some large samples: http://www.pbase.com/liquidstone/7d_preprod
The posted shot was cropped (the unprocessed FF is found in the link).

Looks really good given the fact it wasn't sharpened in DPP at all!

Hi Romy that a beauty, please tell us more about what you found on the 7D performnce/quality actually using it in the field. Any chance of sharing the 100% full size image for evaluation?

Lovely image Romy. Great detail - especially since you did no sharpening. Would it be possible for you to post a sharpened version?
Thanx,

Beautiful image Romy, great range and depth in the colors, excellent eye Neat how this one has the other foot tucked up. Hope the AF of the camera is as dynamic as the files seem to be that will make for an excellent crop body
