Just got my 7D in the mail today! I cleared the custom functions and set them to what I have read is ideal. Stood outside for 5 minutes and saw this guy. Pretty heavy crop and iso 1250. This camera is already 1000x better than my t2i (features, build etc). Incredible AF, and spot focus has already come in handy shooting through branches. Love the 8fps too! I disabled all the junk that slows it down.

Congrats to you Allan, you will always love it!
I must say though, yours has the same chip problem as mine does, Canon is trying to fix it from what they say, its exactly like mine, every once in a while or sometimes all damn day long I get the beautiful sharp details and colors just when he is posing perfectly something in the new chip, as good as it is, makes lines appear right in the middle of the bird, up, down, sideways, usually brown but always right through the middle just like this shot here. Heh Heh, as this shot shows even with that fault, you will get some fantastic shots and man is that 8 fps nice!
Can't wait to see more, congrats

Bret, you are too funny, you had me going there for a moment, I had to go back up to look for that 'line'!!
