Wow!! my problem now is I can't sell my kidneys already, if someone would take a 80% efficient kidney I'll go for it. Naahhhh..... an 80% efficient kidney is only good for a 7D battery grip. Let's pool our body parts so we can raise enough for one unit 7D (I can let go of about 6 kg of high quality lard around my tummy). I'll use the camera when you're in jail, and when you're around, it's your turn. ;D

Excerpts from the email I received from my 'suki':
Hello Eduardo,
There is no official launch of the Canon 7D. You probably saw it on one of many rumor sites. If in fact, Canon does launch a new camera, I will keep you informed.
Regards,
Larry

no AF at f/8 Yup, I was expecting f/8 AF too. OTOH, a TC that would push a lens to f/8 might have become somehow obsolete in many cases. Remember that the 7D has 2.25x the pixel density of the 5D2/30D/20d. Hence, a 5D2 + 800 mm + 1.5x TC has the same reach as a 7D + naked 800 mm.

I was hoping for f/8 center AF so the 1-series could possibly deliver center AF of f/11. But asking AF at f/8 from a camera costing below $2000 is asking a bit much. Does Nikon even offer that option? ely and my dreams of 2x extender AF is still a ways away. Yup, I was expecting f/8 AF too.

My "suki" was just as surprised about the news as I was! He said he never heard about the 7D till I ordered it form him the other day (Sunday). Guess that cam will be launched next month yet, maybe later.
Meantime, I'm settling for the 50D :-)

If I was Mr Hilter I wouldnt be that mad. I'd be pissed off that no 1D3 replacement came out.

I wish CMPI will get hold of a pre-prod 7D and gives it to PBPF photogs for a field test.

Call Tonni... I think he's in the office. Already emailed JayR and Toni on this. We'll follow up after the 7D is officially announced so as not to put our CMPI friends in a tight spot.

An "under construction" page from a Chinese website posted at FM, with photos of the 7D and new lenses: www.xitek.com/topic/eos/eos-7d.htmlLots of 7D smoke now, so there must be a real 7D fire.... we'll know officially in a few hours. ;D
