Got this 7D for Christmas and I was so excited. When I started using it, I was so disappointed. My images were flat and soft. There was no wow factor at all. I was shocked. So I went on line and looked up the problem, to my surprise, so many people were finding the same problems, soft images and trouble with Auto Focus. Looked up all sorts of things to do to correct it, tried it all, and still , soft images. I refused to give in. I kept trying and trying as I wanted so much to love my 7D. Sadly, in the end, I could not love it, it was giving me such stress and disappointment. I had bought my husband a Sony NEX-5N and gave that to him for Christmas and he was getting better images on that than I was on my 7D. So many people stated that they had to send theirs to canon for calibration 4 X or more, I did not spend $1400.00 to keep sending this back to Canon. Soft images seem to be an ongoing problem with a lot of peoples 7D's. In the end I had to send it back, putting in that box was so so sad. I went to a local NYC camera store and picked up a T3I instead, I came home and was getting the most awesome shots ever. I also have the T1I and this also is giving me better shots than the 7D. This is so sad and so disappointing and I love Canon but I can not understand for the life of me what the deal is with this 7D. The next one which is the 5D, I was hesitant to buy as the price is approx $900.00 more than the 7D and I was afraid I would have similar circumstances. My TI models never failed me yet and I guess I will stick with them. Do your homework before buying a 7D, look up focusing problems on the net before you buy. Amazon is GREAT about returns which made this easy. Still so sad and so let down :-( Bear in mind, that I am an experienced photographer with multiple Canon L - Series lenses which were all used on the 7D with the same soft image results.
