There\'s nothing particularly wrong with the 7D. It\'s just that the 1DII and 1DIV are better. They have better AF and they have better \'per pixel\' IQ. I sold my 1DIII and 7D to get a 1DIV - best of both worlds!
OTOH, if you don\'t want to pay the extra dollars for a contemporary 1D-series body, or you can\'t afford to pay the extra dollars, that doesn\'t mean that you won\'t be happy with a \"lesser\" camera.
The value of differences in price-performance doesn\'t have to be linear. I\'m very happy to get a 1.375x improvement in IQ for a 3X increase in cost. YMMV.
