#3Awesome. The digital imaging space keeps moving so fast due to the heated competition between Canon and Nikon. I upgraded to a 7D from my old 40D this year and it feels like there are way more than two years' worth of improvements in there.

The 7D is a semipro camera

#5With that ISO range, they've effectively eliminated the need for flash on 80%+ of photographs. Obviously, you'd still want flash for fill and studio situations, but sports photographers, and everyone else, even (maybe) concert photographers, can probably get away without! Amazing.

#7> Canon has also eliminated the 4GB clip limit, though individual clips are limited to 29:59, in order to avoid European tax rates affecting HD cameras that can capture single HD video clips longer than 30 minutes
What is that all about? Why a special tax rate? Can't the camera just save 29:59 clips and then stitch them together...

At 11 stops up from ISO 100, you're getting to have a great deal of noise at the max ISO I would have thought even at full frame.

It's a 4.9% tax, designed to target pro camcorders. Story from 2007: http://uk.reuters.com/article/2007/07/17/tech-eu-cameras-tra...

It's a duty that goes back a long way (back to the start of the VCR revolution) because the EU wanted to protect its own manufacturers from cheap technology coming from abroad. So they (we) enacted a bunch of laws that place quite high duty (up to 15% IIRC) on some technologies.
