I've been waiting for this comment to arrive. Clearly tracking objects moving at well over 100mph isn't a test for an AF system as you rightly say.

Everyone - take note of this and please don't draw any conclusions about the effectiveness of the AF from the pictures I've posted.

I've had enough of this. In between demands for high ISO comparison shots and comments like this, you can all draw your own conclusions about the camera from someone elses shots and feedback.

Simon.

Can you move them toward or away from the camera at better than 100mph so we can continue to check the AF?

ahh.. c'mon Ria.. forget the bewbies....

Simon.. how is the battery life? did you get an extra battery?

oh ok... damn it .. Go ahead with the bewbies Ria....

not shy about 'em. just never compelled to bring em out.

There's always a first. Now's as good a time as any.

I think my 70-200 just zoomed to 200!

i don;t understand why you would make a thread broadcasting that you just got the 7d ... and then get upset when people ask too many questions..

you kinda asked for it...

I'm certainly not upset with people asking questions, far from it and that's not what I objected to if you read my post.

not sure what the limits of postin on this section are (ok for covered but carefully blocked non nude..not sure), so...i guess you'll have to use your imagination for now.

One battery lasted a couple of hours use while I delved through the cameras menus etc., and then last about 3/4 of days shooting. I was chimping a lot as you can imagine.

i imagine it would get kind of annoying to HAVE to answer/respond to everything, so just respond if at all, at your convenience of course. ignore the haters.

This thread just got a wee bit more interesting.
