Good stuff:
new button on top called “M-FN” for storing FEL data and other stuff. good placement
On/Off Switch Finally on top … accidently switching your camera of with your Jacket is past tense.
Movie Mode Switch
Body Design is very “grippy”
viewfinder grid and 19 Affpoints work fine
Remote Flash works finally without a bulky ST-2
Not so cool:
“M-FN” Button a little small for big hands (not my problem though)
“M-FN” Button to set the AF point modus is totaly out of the normal Menue setting routine (it had to get something important that button huh ;-) why not the thumbwheel / main wheel as alsways ?)
thumb wheel lock button is still misinterpretable but thats just me as a Designer complaining
18MP means more noise, means bigger files, means lesser write performance (that red light at the back wont go of for a long time if something worth shooting comes around)
they could have made the viewfinder information bigger – and more info
remote flashs are fired by small flash – could get messy in diffucult light sittuations why not infrared ??? anyway i would like to see a real radio remote flash system from Canon in the future
Bad Stuff:
Coolie Hat / Joystick or however you want to name it is heavily restricted in its new function to move through menues – the thumb wheel is the menue master now. (i would like to add the coolie hat in the camera functions to move through menues)
Raw / Jpg switch is for people who shot JPG and ocassionally want to shot “one” !!! RAW … no other function is programable …. (only different sizes) I would rather have this as a switch button …
on the old Canon bodys the light on the top LCD could be set to auto if i remember , that switching on of the light is getting on my nerves
I somehow have the feeling that the Canon 500D had the best Interface graphically spoken – resulting in ergonomics. the 7D is a little bit cluttered again.
