Canon released a new monster on the dslr market.  The 7d replaces the 50d which according to some wasn’t the greatest in the world, citing some focus issues and the like.  But I do have a friend in the photo community using the 50d and has grown to love it, despite some hesitations at first.   The 7d has a bunch of new goodies in it.  If I’m not mistaken it has a new focus engine as well as 2 digic 4 processors.  The 2 processors is what totally blows my mind.  That is better than my 5d mk II, and the 7d is a “lower” level camera (as far as Canon’s pecking order).

I’ve had some complaints about poor focus ability of the 5d mk II even in what I would consider decent light.  I was shooting side by side w/ an XSi and the XSi was focusing and making the shots my mk II could not focus in and grab successfully.  I’m very curious to paw through some more reviews about this camera vs its competitors.  I recently had it out with a Nikon snob online, so its nice to see Canon drop a few more bombs onto the playing field.

Time to go read a head to head on the 7d vs the mk II.

Stay classy San Diego.

Di calls w/ a flat tire (or at least dangerously low) right after leaving LCC. I ask her to stop trying to drive to a gas station, pull over and just wait for me to get there. I run home, fill the air compressor and toss it in the back of my car (brilliant), drive to LCC fill the tire, all is well she drives home happy. I drove home to snag some lunch, unload the air compressor from my car (not brilliant), jacked my back up. Pulling that thing out was a very awkward lift… Bummer.
