Re: SL1 probably better focusing than XSi ...

I have shot lots of Canon SLRs over the years, including both the 7D and the SL1.  Hands down, the 7D is the camera you want for the types of action photos you take.  I have many thousands of action shots with the 7D and it is fantastic.  My SL1 is the camera I use the most now days, mostly landscape shots when I go hiking and backpacking (which I do frequently when the weather is nice in the northwest.)  However, if I am shooting birds, sports, whales, you name it, I'll have my trusting 7D with me.  BTW, mye 7D is a refurb from the Canon store.  You can pick up a great 7D, with nice warranty, for much less than you can at any of the typical photo stores.  Sometimes Adorama and B&H have sales of th 7D refurbs...pick one up.  I know you'll love it.
