Still haven't had much of a chance to play with the 7D yet, but it's a lot more camera than the 40D. You'll love it! Don't be put off by the autofocus system though. It's complex, but you'll get the hang of it. My photography website!PHOCAL PHOTOGRAPHY

I'm ordinarily the last person to turn to a book but this book, David Busch's Canon EOS 7D Guide Replacing my Canon 7D, Tokina 12-24mm, Canon 17-55mm, Sigma 30mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.4, and 150-500mm with a Panasonic Lumix FZ1000. I still have the 17-55 and the 30 available for sale.

Don't let all the naysayers get to you as I'm convinced most of them don't know how to make the machine work. Remember, it's all about having fun. Keep on shootin' Mike
