I bought this camera after outgrowing my Rebel Xsi. On the 7D, the autofocus is lightning fast and deadly accurate. The camera balances well in the hand. Exposure is correct but if you want to adjust, you can do so quickly. The Q button is a godsend: the camera has so many options, you need the Q button to quickly access the options. The large screen is easy to arrange and the upteen million options are reasonably logically laid out. I would give this a five star but I find the autofocus options confusing. Spot focus, full focus, partial focus, expandable focus, it goes on and on. And of course, it is also interwoven with the exposure system, so it becomes a mire of bewildering options. In short, your best best is simply figure out if you are photographing moving objects (sports, wildlife, small kids) or stationary objects (trees, houses, sunsets) and set your autofocus accordingly. However, you can just skip the whole darned thing, set it for generic autofocus and it'll usually be just fine. Exceptions would be subjects like one lone pelican flying in a clear blue sky, or one small bunny crouched down in the green grass. You will need to zoom in then and the camera will be just fine but a wide angle or standard lens and the poor camera will do it's best but might miss the shot. Anyway, it's an awesome camera and a perfect fit for an advanced amateur like myself. It's too much camera for beginners or technophobes and professionals might prefer the 1 series of Canon cameras.
