The real problem with the 7D!

PROBLEMS? PROBLEMS? -- HUH?-- Go over to the bird photo sharing thread and look at my first few shots -- Great camera -- I learned how to use a digital DSLR after buying a new 40d -- after a XT -- with which I was lazy. I knew my wife of 41 years would say -- "thats all you can get after spending "X" number of more dollars" on a "nother" new "body" . Take the time to learn folks -- either before or after you buy the 7D! you will love it -- it has exceeded my expectations !!
End this dumb thread already !!

The 7D is my first DSLR. I've owned several film SLRs. I own two digital point and shoots. I've spent a lot of time with the camera on my desk with the manual open next to it.

I haven't pulled out the old Sekonic meter and set the 7D to "M" yet, but I'm sure I will soon.

I never had EVERY shot on a roll of film be exactly what I want it to be. I think it would be unreasonable to expect everything I shoot with the 7D to be perfect. It is understandable for people to be frustrated with a camera they just spent a load of money on when it doesn't do what they want it to do, but they must understand every camera has limitations.

I always thought trying to get something to work even after you've failed a few times was part of the fun of photography. Now we just don't have to wait as long for the results. I've gotten a lot of good info just lurking around these forums the last few days, but even more from the manual.
