Don\'t know why people are angry over the lamenting of a feature offered in lower tiered cameras. If anything, you shouldn\'t be happy about options being taken away, even if you\'ve never utilized it. Why? Cause watch the 1DMKIV come with LCD Overlay and replaceable focus screens.
But this is the crux of it: Canon refuses to make the camera that we all really want, by throwing everything they\'ve got at it, whereas Nikon decided to stop haemorrhaging users by actually making the best bodies they could. People like cogitech and I don\'t like big heavy bodies and we do think that accurate manual focus with f2 lenses is crucial, because let\'s face it, all AF systems are absolute crap. They can\'t even focus near the corners, and choosing a focus point is slow, and focus recompose kills the art of spontaneous photography. Canon could have given the 5D2 a good AF system, and a faster frame rate for sraw, and better sealing, and built-in flash and kept the body small and light. It would have been Canon\'s version of the fabled D700x - call it what you will. A huge number of people want that camera and don\'t give a crap about electronic levelling aids. Canon always has to put a fly in the ointment, and unfortunately the 7D is no exception. My next EOS will probably be a 3D, as long as it has a Canon E*-S screen option.
