These were all Canon except for the glove/interior shot. That one was Leica M8.2 with 35mm f/1.2 prime.

It looks like only the first shot was with the 40D. The rest are 7D. The 40D has since been retired and replaced with another 7D.

FYI... I can't say enough about the 7D. It really is a terrific camera... GREAT auto focus... (long overdue) the burst rate is fantastic and the build exceptional. It's a little uncomfortable by my right thumb... they've changed the shaping there. Not sure if it's something I'll adjust to because it's different than what I'm used to or if I'll just have to put up with it. The ridge and curvature seems a bit more aggressive... not as sculpted.

But I feel great about the performance of the camera. Highly recommended.
