Isn't the purpose of it being articulating so it can go either way

Get yourself an 80 1.8 and a sigma 50 1.4 Best advice. Bryan

But with enough practice, you'll realize that exactly is one of the reason of a 7D purchase. Its just awesome!

Someone talk me out of this please. I want it for the video, and just to buy a new camera because its been a few years. I don't want another rebel, and if I'm going to upgrade I might as well skip the 60D and go straight to the 7D. Can someone list all of its flaws or something? I don't want to have to commit this much money, but I'm compelled to for some reason. Free printer profiles PM me for info

Porkywill Member  248 posts Joined Jul 2010 Location: Weybridge More info | Personally, one very good reason I don't want an SLR video is that I simply don't like the way you have to hold a photo camera, SLR or P&S, to record video. Simple as that and for that reason, I'm out. Kit: 7D, Sigma 70-200mm 2.8 OS, Sigma 17-70mm OS, Sigma 30mm 1.4, Canon 50mm 1.8 II, Nissin Di622, Slik Pro 500 DX, SX220, Gorillapod

As much as I love 99% of the features of the 60D as well, the 7D feels sooo natural in my hands.I had the opposite experience to you... went from a 1000D (XS) to a 50D, but it was big and clunky. 7D is bigger and heavier still. 60D is just right Mark

Although if you are sticking with crop get a Sigma 30 instead of the 50. You should sell your XSi, buy a camcorder and a used 40d/50d for a nice little low cost upgrade. Although I found no real IQ difference from XTi to 40D, the 5D was the first "wow" upgrade. However the ergonomics and AF/speed are worth it alone. I have not used a 7D but the images I see look pretty good.
