I recently joined flikr searching for images shot with the Canon EOS 7D which is the camera I wish to own one day. During my search I came a cross some stunning shots of the Red Kite bird of prey. If you like wild life photography and birds of prey and can appreciate how difficult it is to capture such a fast moving target especially at feeding time, I think you will be blown away with these; I know I was. I suggest the slide show option to fill the screen if you take a look. Richard Kendall's photostream |

This might be better over on the Equipment section, but I am curious as to why you would pick the 7D over the 5D mark 2?
I am lusting over going to full frame, and as much as I love my D200, I would dump it tomorrow if I could swing a D700, or whatever it's replacement is going to be. After I do go full frame, I do plan on having my D200 converted to IR and then selling my converted D70s.

I can't speak for Enigma, but I chose the 7D primarily because it's a hell of a lot cheaper, it gets more frames per second (which I really need), and it has a larger ISO range. But even without the full frame sensor, I really love it. ^.^ Before I buy my next camera (not that that's going to be any time soon), I really want to get my hands on a few different models and try them all out. I think that would be easier than trying to make a decision based on a list of stats and the reviews of other people.
AWESOME photos, by the way. Thanks for sharing. =D I'm really getting into bird photography now and I think these will help me learn.

I wanted to see where this conversation would go, but since it's a lot of talk about cameras, and about photos, I'm going to bump it down to the dojo. It's a mix.  |

I would have to see side by side comparisons of low light, but I would expect the full frame sensor in the 5D to out perform the crop sensor in the 7D, regardless of the ISO range.
That being said, it might not be a huge deal to most, where the burst speed, and the crop factor would be. I shoot a lot of night and low light stuff, so the full frame is far more important than frame rate would be.

I want to see a side by side comparison too. I've never had the chance to use a camera with a full frame sensor before, so I can't really judge. It'd be nice not to have to go up to a high ISO so often, though. =3 Less time for me in Photoshop getting rid of noise. ^.^

Nikon is currently the king of low light, but I have seen out of camera, very high ISO stuff out of a 5dmk2 and they didn't need any photoshop. These modern bodies are simply amazing.

Oooop's ........ Sorry about that, I have been away for a few days and posted this in Chatter section before I went and thought something had gone wrong, with it not being there when I got back. Didn't you already post this? It was moved to the Camera Dojo. |

The frame rate is what I am going for with wild life and sport in mind as the main things I would like to shoot. Low light is not that important to me but what the 7D offers towards low light is OK for me. ISO Sensitivity / Noise levels |
