Nikon User Looking for 7D Feedback

Hello Jim,

Just a fairly keen amateur and had been using Nikons for almost 30 years. My D70 was showing signs of senility. Looked like either the 7d or the D300 might fit the bill. A cheaper and lighter D700 would have been an attractive option.

Settled on the 7d - I had never owned a Canon and nearing 70 two years ago I might never have the opportunity to do so again. Maybe this is not a consideration for you, but it was for me.

Chalk and cheese  of course the D70 and the 7d; but suffice to say that since I bought the 7d the desire to own a FF DSLR has gone with the wind, Alistair.
