Ah... that explains itAnything under the 1D line or any thing that's not a new Leica....
If the 7D's new AF system tracks a moving object using the center AF point as well as current 1Dx series cameras then this camera will be a great success with the bird/wildlife and daytime sports photographers. I will be looking to replace my 1d2n for birding which I haven't used much since I got my 1ds3. This will save my 1ds3 from the excessive shutter wear from bird photography and give me the extra 1.6 crop reach which I miss right now.The Canon 1D cameras have always been APS-H sized sensors at 1.3x crop, not 1.6x crop as is found in the APS-C sized sensors of the 10-50D and "Rebel" cameras.
Aside from the not so great experiment of the new AF in the 1DMkIII when it came out, Canon has usually introduced many of the new controls and changes to cameras below their flagship 1-series bodies before moving them up to that level. So it will be interesting to see if Canon does incorporate a new AF system upwards with any new 1-series body(ies) that may be introduced later. The change in pixel pitch to 4.3u is pretty dramatic also. Still looks to be able to deliver nicely to about ISO 1600 but maybe not so good at ISO 3200 and up due to aggressive NR and increased contrast. If that new pixel size holds up, the 1DsMkIV, if it comes out, could have near 35MP resolution or so. Now that could get interesting.

It takes Canon lenses18MP and video aside, what exactly is it that the D300 hasn't been?
Thanks so much Jorgen. I really enjoyed them--very well done and great capabilities it appears for video in the right hands. I actually watched all of them.For those who are interested in the movie capabilities of the 7D, there's a rather impressive clip here:

I really don't know. You tell me:Ummm... is it possible to have Canon custom make a black 70+200 f/4, or do I have to paint it myself???
Oh, and btw., is that lens still sharp with an 1.4x TC?
Jorgen, thanks for these two links. The video is impressive indeed (and here was I thinking I wasn't the slightest bit interested in video).To me, this is maybe the most impressive video, since it's very close to what I would like to do:

The guy who made it is obviously extremely skilled, but I do see a potential here. "Street video"? Here's a link to a viewfinder attachment to the back LCD. Very useful for video. They make lots of other useful stuff also btw.:

As a matter of fact i do. :toocool:Disclaimer:
Obviously, I've only checked out these things for a friend who is unfortunate enough to be a Canon user :ROTFL: :ROTFL:
