7D Questions to be answered

Impressive shot, Christian. I'm still struggling with the decision of purchasing the 7D face to the mixed reviews (see my comments above). Some testers state that the 7D ist VERY demanding for the lenses and that the use of converters generally is not advisable. Whenever you will come to a conclusion, I'm very intersted to know your experiences regarding the use of different lenses and in general the results and IQ - also in comparison to your other bodies. Since I recently sold the 1D MK3, there's also the option to wait for the 1 DMK4, though.

Business is slow up here in Canada, my regular dealer will not give a money back or return policy. So I'm going to a store that will. But, how can one tell if a new 7D body has been returned by a previous dissatisfied customer; ie. by frame count, if one cannot put a card into the camera and take a few shots to get the last frame number.

Without shooting any frames, will inserting a CF card and formatting it provide the ooo-oooo number? If the number is not ooo's then the camera was used.

The last frame number is meaningless anyway since it can be reset to zeros easily by anyone - it's a menu option. You would have to look at the EXIF data assuming the camera embeds it in the data somewhere - all previous Canons have so it probably does too. I think you can tell if something has been repacked anyway.

I am looking forward to a better ACR version for these files. I have not tried Canon's DPP.
I have yet to test servo for BIF, ect so I have no opinion. So far I like this camera. I also like the idea of using my 600mm w/o a tc, when birding.

Hey, Christian.

Thanks for the image. Can you post a shot of this subject with a non-sky BG?

If the battery has anything other than a nominal charge, then it's used/open-box.
