OK, I\'ve never owned - or shot - a 7d, so I can\'t speak from experience, but I\'ve read enough assessments and have owned enough 1-series and 5-series cameras to know how much they differ. I\'ve often wondered why anyone, using any Canon camera, would want the 7d AF in anything.
Jim, with all due respect, your not having owned/used a 7D and relying primarily on internet rhetoric to fuel your \'argument\' does indeed make it seem like another post intended to rile up the natives, just for sport.
People need to calm a bit, quit using \'WTF\' and \'s*^t\' in every other post, stop posting whiner threads about apeople whining in the forums, and just sit on their hands and wait and see what happens with Canon\'s upcoming offerings. Stopping by the forums is getting increasingly like accidentally changing the channel to kick-boxing (or whatever they call it these days).
Respectfully,
Jeff
Thanks Jeff. it\'s always nice to see a questioning/dissenting view not presented as an attack, labeled a troll post, or similar. I appreciate it.
My modified post, a meager mea culpa on fast typing, and perhaps incomplete expression of thoughts confused some here, and perhaps some of them legitimately. As for the others, well, they don\'t/can\'t read, and are looking more for sport than discussion. (BTW - I prefer to call them villagers because all they need is a pitch fork/torch to form their mob, but that\'s a digression). 
Am I \"spun up\" myself? Absolutely, but it\'s not because of Nikon (though that didn\'t help). I also don\'t feel any company owes me anything, even if I\'ve been a customer for several decades. Asking, or demanding more, is not whining as some think. All companies need to make a profit to keep the doors open, but what many others here also know is when we\'re getting boned (not everyone does, and some may simply not care).
I don\'t want to sell $30k in Canon gear and buy something else, but I know longer can take the annual BS feedings. What I, and many others want, is for Canon to treat its customers as if they actually can add 2+2 and know that it equals 4, not 1,297 as Canon would have us believe. Sadly, IMO, for the last 5+ years, they\'ve decided that no one knows basic math and will believe anything they\'re told.
And you\'re right, we have to wait to see what Canon does and who knows, just as they did a last minute price hike on the 1D3, perhaps they\'ll come out with something better than expected at the last minute this time.
