7D vs 7DSV

Todd Lambert · 20th of August 2010 (Fri)

So, which one should I get?

I heard that the 7dSV is the same as the 1DsIV in pretty much every way.

I heard that it has 4 DIGIC chips.

I heard that it contains a variable sensor, similar to Nikon's where it can shoot as both a crop camera and as a new special full frame format.

I heard it will use not only EF and EF-s lenses, but it will shoot with a new mount called EF-X and that will allow you to make 3D images!

I heard that it has a new feature for still being able to take shots when the lens cap is on!

So, with all of these new things, and the super spectacular image quality, is it worth upgrading my 7D for it?

[sorry, couldn't resist]

Oh, if only I had access to a ban hammer...

I can take photos with the lens cap on with my 7D already. They tend to look like close up iamges of black holes, but photos non the less =)

Good one Todd

"Thats weird. I set the dial to the running dude, but my shots are still blurry."

"Photo enthusiast" friend who bought a 7D.

I made him start shooting Av, and he has thanked me constantly.
He can't make himself go to manual though. Whatever, his loss.

4 DIGICS

My sources tell me it has 27 of 'em. The X-Ray cap shooting is really spectacular especially in 4D. Yep, not 3D but true 4D.

I call BS! An x-ray cap would still cause vignetting.

What, you've heard of ALO? The Auto Lighting Optimizer takes care of all that.

Go directly to the sell forum and get rid of your 7D your right now. Take any offer no matter how ridiculously low it is, the 7D will soon be worthless when the new 7D-SV comes out...

After reading this comment I ordered a 7D it should be in next week. I will then promptly put it in the sale forum at a fire sale price when it gets here.
