So I couldn\'t resist when my Best Buy got ONE 7D in stock today, and I snapped it up to go with my 5DII.
First impressions are amazing. The autofocus on this thing is incredible, but I do have a couple of questions...
1.) Is it normal for the \"general\" full AF to not be as sharp as the one-point focus? Basically, when I set the AF to center-point, it\'s always sharper on everything than just the \"fire and forget\" AF while looking at the same object.
2.) My auto LCD brightness doesn\'t seem to be working. On my 5DII, I can cover the light sensor and see the screen dim obviously and point it at a light and watch the LCD brighten. Nothing seems to happen with the 7D in either case...
Aside from these issues, the camera is very sweet. I do like the bigger text through the viewfinder, and.... in terms of ACTUAL photography, I\'m quite impressed with this body at higher ISOs...
Oh, and for those interested, my 7D came with the latest firmware (1.0.9) already installed. Canon must be patching these puppies really quickly...
