Tough landing.

This may be the last photo for a bit as I think he will soon be way up in the tree tops learning to hunt.

So GEM, when did you get the 7D? Is that a 70-200 you are using? How dark was it that you were shooting ISO1600? I am a 7D owner as well. Digging it so far.

I borrowed it from a friend of mine last week. He doesn't like it, so I'm testing it out to see if I want to buy it. I have a 5D but it's heavy.

So far I like the 7D. It's really fast.

It wasn't too dark, but I needed some shutter speed and depth of field. Hand held 70-200 with a 1.6 conversion factor (320mm equiv.) Thus the higher iso.

Had to return my iphone beta when that idiot left his in the bar.

The gripe about the 7D is all the changes. If you read the manual, it helps. I think it is a great camera.

Its expensive. He wants $600.00 for a used camera. Its not even full frame!

They are selling for $1200 used at Fred Miranda, that is a REALLY good price.

The focusing on the 7D is much different than the 5D. 5D is such an amazing camera, I would just stick with that. Get the grip and you are good to go.

Will ya all stop talking about new and used cameras already? Its going to force me to upgrade again, and soon. Just. Stop.

GEM, your pics are great and "your" owl is beautiful....a bit disappointed that their won't be more for a while, though

I don't want to pay for their bridge or go to their festivals, but this is a nice story.

Saw that too this morning, she is amazing.

Wow....YEAH she is!!!! More power to her!

GEM, buy that darn 7D for $600 already, then view these:

7D how to vids

Bry, $600 was too high, got em down to $450.00 w/ an "L" lens (whatever that means) Thanks for the tutorials, I'll watch them and maybe learn how to take some photos! Hey, where are those Eagles? I'm gonna go there!!

"L" lenses are the high end pro quality lenses. The new 70-200 L IS II, for example, is about $2,499 alone. The 7D body without a lens of any kind is $1,699.

7D and L lens for <$600. Is that for real? If it is, I hate you.

Same here. I paid $1200 for my 70-200 F4 IS. GEM, you got a deal of the year on that score! Oh, and I never said anything about the last owl photo, tack sharp buddy! Excellent job.

Next week in Camera Corner, we will "focus"on Nikon vs. Canon.
