Final Thoughts
While we can't give any final judgments on this in some ways odd camera until we get a review unit, one thing seems certain: The value proposition for Nikon's $1800 D300s—which might've already seemed dicey, given that it's the guts of a 2-year-old camera with a dash of limited 720p video—just got a lot less enticing, simply on account of the 7D's fairly wide video powers. That's before you even take anything else into consideration, like more pixels for more crop potential (if the pixels are good ones, that is). Obviously, we'll be head-to-heading these two as soon as we can. Which should be shortly, since the 7D is due by the end of next month, at $1900 for the kit with an 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, or $1700 body only.

Let's see... a bunch of crap that no one really needs... guess we know which market Canon is lowering itself for :P

This might make me switch back to Canon. Looks like a great camera!

So is this what Canon released instead of the 60D?

It seems odd that they're blurring the lines.

The 3 digit cameras were entry DSLR's, the two digits amateur/prosumers, and the single digit camera names were pro level equipment.

I guess they're trying to break a perception that was actually helpful before? Makes me wonder if they're going to end up with 2 levels of cameras...

seems like everyone is becoming more and more focused on DSLRs having video and how good the video is. it's a nifty trinket, but doesn't seem like it should be such a focus point of the camera's performance.

are we starting to reach the ends of making them take better photographs?
