Greetings Canon Family: I am a frustrated Nikon user looking for feedback about the 7D; I am contemplating the leap from Nikon to Canon.

I did the same thing 3 years ago when I switched from Pentax to the 7D. I do not regret switching. You just have to remember a few points:

  • Canon is clock wise and Nikon counter-clock wise. The first while, until you adjust, can be rough
  • The grass is always greener on the other side.
  • No system is perfect. Scour this forum and the lens forum. You will see many people criticizing Canon and saying how much better Nikon is.
  • The 7D focusing is a completely different beast from the Nikon. It's complicated because it's so flexible. It took me 3 month to understand it and make it work "properly". Here's my summary: http://www.foto-biz.com/Canon/Focus-modes-why-and-when

What happened to the rumors of the D400? Isn't it supposed to be just around the corner?
