I just got the 7d WOW the images recorded are ultra crisp with beautiful color rendition. If you are looking for a solid pro camera look no further. A few weekends ago I had a friend with a Canon 40D and we went head to head in a studio shoot roundup. The result was the 40 d images looked like they came from a 75 dollar point n shoot. Shooting images with a 430 EZ II flash gave me excellent night time shots. The 28 – 135 mm lens that came in the kit worked flawlessly with little lens abberation. I strongly suggest buying a wireless shutter release. The only cons is at 6400 iso images were ok . You can clearly see heavy pixelation and noise, and tweaking the camera and all its functions can be confusing or overly complicated. So you have to READ THE MANUAL to be able to learn how to set the camera up just they way you like. Even then its confusing. The bundled software is good the only drawback is that in shooting in RAW Canon uses its own proprietary RAW file extension that is not compatible with ADOBE. You have to export you RAW image via TIFF. I prefer Adobe's integrated RAW app to tweak my raw files. Canon's is ok at best.
