9/29/2009 12:16 PM It's probably going to be a nice camera. 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.

10/1/2009 6:52 PM Thanks FTE, won't be shooting to much MX as this is just my hobby but i have a grand son almost ready for BMX. 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.
Thanks Marty |

10/1/2009 9:26 PM I would say the new 7D is a better camera then a 1D markII imo. Newer chipset, newer digic 4, bigger resolution...read the specs of both cameras and what they can do. I would buy a 7D over a 1D markII.

10/3/2009 1:57 PM Thanks Stephane, The 2xl game rocks! I can't belive my Iphone has an MX game that is so fun. When i first saw it i thought a phone mx game would be a joke but its a must have.

10/3/2009 2:03 PM How much difference would an older 80-200 2.8 L (72mm) black lens (10 years old ?)
and a newer 70-200 2.8 is L ? I'm thinking about buying a used one, anything to watch out for? |

10/3/2009 8:20 PM I have a 7D. The video is great. The stills are about the same quality as my Canon 1DS Mark 2. 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 |

It's night and day, the black lens has the old style focus motor (AFD) while the white ones are Ultra sonic powered, you'll be amazed. 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.
