The 40D seems the obvious choice with the same crop factor and the fact it's a bigger upgrade AF wise.

How much do you think you'd get for the 40D?
7D pre ordered. The 40D technically would be the one to go but the 1D would be worth more. My backup camera gets little use these days so it doesn't need to be that great a spec.
Not sure what the 40D would sell for. 400 maybe?

If the price of the 7D comes down by a reasonable amount, my 50D (much as I love it) might also have to go up for sale.

I'm curious as to why? You would gain 3MP, 2fps, a better AF system and HD video for a cost of about £700-800 to switch? Can't see it being worth while. It's taken this long for Canon to release a camera that I'd consider a worth while upgrade from my 10D and that's 6 years old

How many of you who are considering the 7D actually interested in the video modes?
For me it is a definite "nice to have", and I think I could have lots of fun with it. But I just cannot afford the latest camera unfortunately, so my next camera will likely be a 2nd hand 40D. I really want to move on from the 400D now.

You might be right. The new AF system certainly sounds good, but it's probably mainly me being a sucker for the latest and greatest!

Not me. Though, if I had it, I might end up using it occasionally for clips of the kids, etc.

Even if it was the same cost?

Interesting article on the AF system.

Just a quick question, can someone confirm what the lowest Canon model is to do this function:
On my mate's D300 he can do multiple HDR exposures across the whole stop range so for example he can create a 7 shot bracketed exposure in one burst which is extremely handy for richer HDR photos when hand holding especially with that buffer.
My 40D allows only a 3 stop burst for this purpose and the D300 is the first one I've actually seen that allows multiple exposure brackets like this.

Yes, I'd prefer they concentrate on core features. I can understand it on consumer models but not for the pro range.

I don't know of any that offer that feature. I was completely unaware that the Nikons did. It is indeed a very useful feature I have often wished I had.
