The Canon 7D

So yesterday I walked into my local camera shop to check out some lenses that I want to get for the upcoming Canon 7D i've been thinking about purchasing. When I told the associates there the reason, they told me that they just got a shipment of ten 7D's and said seven of them were already on hold. They got them earlier than any other retailer in my area. I couldn't pass up being the first one in my city with the camera! i picked one up along with a 50mm/F1.4 lense along with other accessories. I spent so much. GAHHH!!! I spent the whole day today playing with the camera.

The crappy part is that Canon hasn't released any updates to view the RAW files! So many pictures and no real way of viewing em'. I can deal for now because i'm still gettin used to my first DSLR. I'll let you all know how it goes along the way!

After one day of playin' with it.

See it says 7D. Right there.

Canon 7D Officially Announced

I've been wanting a DSLR camera for a while, and I was so close to buying the Canon 50D back July. The reason I didn't was the rumor that Canon will be coming out with another camera in late August. They didn't come out with a camera, but they did announce the Canon 7D. I want it...BAD. What's awesome is that this new camera can also do HD video. I get the best of both worlds. It cost a lot of monies, but I'm pretty sure it'll be totally worth it. I really want to see what kind of photos and videos people come up with this thing. woo! Here's a vid of someone playing with the HD video while playing with the ISO.
