I can spend the $$$ on other stuff and from what I have read if there is a difference in IQ it seems somewhat minimal. Apart from that the cameras are pretty similar in features. If you do what you always do, you get what you always get.

Funny, that is exactly what I planned to do this evening. I'll give your tutorial a read first now, cheers. If you do what you always do, you get what you always get.

Valid point...I had my 7D for three years and the videos were tack sharp....if you aren't doing that many of them then you've made the right choice... Trevor

In the process is saves be a lot of cash that I can use for other goodies, not that I wouldn't have bought them anyway. ●●flickr

The one feature the 70D has that I would like on my body is the articulated screen. I like to shoot macro and for those down low subjects it would be a real clothing and dignity saver.  Ha, dignity is overrated. I reckon it is a badge of honour to be covered in grime to get THE shot. If you do what you always do, you get what you always get.
