not worth it if you have a 30/40/50D and upgrade to the 7D.

7D is great and I would love to have one too, but just got my 50D just 6 months ago... the next one I'd get would definitely be a FF (5D MK3 or 4 or something).

For that $1000 to shell out to upgrade the body? I'd just get the 35mm f1.4L that I have been longing for..

I have a 40D so there is absolutely no point for me to upgrade to a 50D and I'm not gonna spend extra 1500$ to upgrade to a 5D vs 7D. Besides I get my stuff at cost so I save a bunch of cash right there. So it's a pretty sweet deal.

From 30D to 7D is a big jump. I'm thinking about it....

There was an opening, but it was filled before I could make a thread.

^ $2100 canadian

It's $1699 for the body in the US, better to order online.. unless you want to pay 400 more.

With the current exchange rate (1.08), the true cost if purchased from the US is actually $1836 CDN...so you save like $300 (or more depending on if you declare it )

Quick question...if you already have a 40D/50D and you can upgrade to the 7D or 5D for approximately the same price, which would you go for? Considering that the 7D ups the 5D in terms of features other than not being full frame and more noise.

I would buy this camera if only canon would get rid of their hideous ergonomics.
CLS > all.

Yes, but like I wrote, it took Nikon a decade to catch up to Minolta, and it's still not as user friendly. More comprehensive, but not easy to set up quickly.

Yeah, but it's about what's better now.

and wtf is the deal with the fm forums users thinking the d700x (the thing thats going to compete with the 5d mkII) is going to cost 4-5 grand?

How in the fuck does that make sense? I think there is alot of butt hurt d3x users who want it to be that price.

They should be in middle next week. Beau will get a handful at first (body only). We'll get more later + kits as well.
