I've used the 7D quite a bit now. OK, one of my dark secrets revealed.
I've used the 7D a lot. (Somewhere around 10,000 pictures). I don't
think there is a better crop-sensor camera on the market in any brand
or price. I can recommend it without hesitation or caveats. I'd buy
one for myself except I'm wanting full-frame. Also, given my secret
life, I actually get to use it about as much as I want, anyway. I'm
doing work with another photographer who has a full-tilt EOS kit and I
get to use his 7D. I have my choice between several cameras, but the
7D always wins out. I'm still struggling a bit with the UI and menus,
but for the most part, the camera is very controllable and I never
have to wait on it.
The only thing I would say (here comes the caveats that I said I
wasn't going to do), is that the lenses just aren't Zuikos. Canon
lenses draw OK, no problem there, but there is a distinct style to
them that just screams "normal". If you like "normal" and
"predictable", they're great. But the images just don't have the Zuiko
glow to them.
