Oh wait... wasn't his motherboard supposed to come today? He's probably just trying to get his computer built.

Oh and today i had the lovely chance to play with a 60D and a D7000 for the first time

The 60D i was actually surprised with, not as rebelly as i expected, Quite nice actually...

The D7000 i instantly was so grateful i didnt switch to Nikon over, Compared to my 7D its nowhere near built as well or as nicely, Certainly not what i was anticipating, Didnt have a good feel at all to me, Good AF though i will give that

that D7000 is trying to be D700... which it is not

I may a bit later, but I'm watching the Chicago Code right now

Kenji cant wait to see the pics of the setup!

Great shot Brandy!

Kenji i used the 60D before and it felt like a slight upgrade in build to the rebel line. I also thought that screen could be snapped by mistake as it didnt feel too sturdy to me (but lets be honest what rotating screen would be). I did LOVE the combo dial they had which implemented the flat joystick. I that was very cool.

wait, you can't do that with the 7D Omar? I mean with the D700 (3 years old camera), I could set the max Auto ISO to not go higher than whatever I want the figure to be

^- seconded on the dial, i loved that, i didnt get to spend EXTENSIVE time with it but i did like it quite a lot

I'm considering gaffertaping my dial down on my 7D next time im out someplace shooting, That thing gets bumped WAY too much....

Don't want to pay the $100 for canon to put in the locking dial?

Hey Kenji, what problems did you encounter upon installation??

Nope Steven. Canon could freaking do it vie FIRMWARE UPDATE!!! Not enough people complain so they wont do it!

This should be done for free by canon. Its really invaluable when your out moving the camera a lot.
