IMO, which has been stated and argued about elsewhere, if you are primarily shooting MX and have a budget for a body around the price of a new 7d, you ought to consider a clean 1DmkII or mkIIN. The non "N" is going for around a grand here in Norcal. FreshTopEnd wrote: It's probably going to be a nice camera.

The 20D with an older 80-200 2.8 L (black) dosn't focus real well in fast sports. I allways manual focus in MX (lots of practice with the old T90 and a 300 2.8 FD velvia days) and was woundering if the new 7D and a new 80-200 2.8 is would track faster? I also like the larger display (eyes are getting bad) and shoots HD video.

Newer chipset, newer digic 4, bigger resolution...read the specs of both cameras and what they can do.

Not up to the quality of the 1DS Mark 3 though. Noise at high iso (1600 and 3200) is about equal to the 1DS Mark 2. The AF is fast. Simon cudby wrote: I have a 7D. The video is great.

Find one a doctor or dentist is selling and not one from an MX shooter or if you do get one from one of us have it checked out at Canon.
