Canon has just announced their new EOS 7D DSLR camera. It features a 18MP sensor, a 19-point AF system, shoots up to 8 fps and includes 1080p Full HD video. The retail price is $1699.00, placing it between the 50D and the 5D Mark II.
The EOS 7D boasts significant EOS advancements including a completely new 19-point Autofocus system, a new Canon iFCL Metering System (Intelligent Focus, Color, Luminance) and a new Intelligent Viewfinder. An 18-megapixel Canon CMOS sensor and Dual DIGIC 4 Imaging Processors fuel the EOS 7D’s 14-bit A/D data conversion and its ability to freeze fast motion in high-resolution with eight fps continuous shooting up to 126 Large JPEGS using a UDMA CF card, positioning this camera for the studio as well as the sideline. The EOS 7D captures beautiful low-light images with or without a flash, at occasions such as a dance recital or wedding reception, thanks to a wide range of ISO speed settings from 100-6400 (expandable to 12,800). In addition to its new still capture capabilities, the EOS 7D features Full HD video capture at 1920 x 1080 resolution with selectable frame rates of 24p, 25p or 30p. Native 24p recording helps videographers achieve a more cinema-style look for their footage without the need for post-processing.
DP Review has posted a hands-on preview of the 7D.

Hi Scott. So owning the 5d Mark II, will you be getting this?
I’m actually considering selling my G10 for one of the cheap Leica cameras. can’t afford an SLR at the moment.
I’m going to stick with the 5DMKII for now, however the 7D does have a few advantage over it.
