Sorry MVers, just fighting hyperbole with hyperbole. These are interesting times for gear heads, lots of new stuff to think and speculate about but many are making it sound like the demise of Canon because another top rated camera manufacturer comes out with what is specified to be a top rated camera. This thread, for example, assumes that because D800 AF might be better than 7D AF that the 7D was maliciously passed of as a crippled camera. I think the OP is deserving of some serious flaming.
Bring it on Jeff..
As I said, i\'ve never shot one, but many have complained (do your own search why don\'t you before acting out). Since there are so many (some?) that are dissatisfied and complained here, why bring it to another camera? I\'ve had at least 45 point 1-series AF for a decade, and it was introduced in 1998 in the EOS 3, full retail price of $999. If my math is correct, that was 14 years ago. Not sure what you were doing then, but I was evaluating cameras to buy....
Now we\'re talking about a new 5 series body, and the AF is always suspect. So, since you\'re a hyperbolic flamer, why not tell us all why we should want the 7d AF, and not something better?
Better yet, if you can\'t provide something meaningful, please take my suggestion to to just leave...
