  • 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.

Bei 46°C hält man das nur mit original FIJI – Wasser aus (Arrowhead ist ungenießbar).

    Morgen geht’s auf in die Berge. Genauer gesagt zum Wilden Kaiser.
    Nach dem Wochenende gibt’s hier dann bestimmt ein paar nette, neue Photos zu sehen.
