Congrats Corina. Someone put me onto this link - B&H Videos . Do a search for 7D and you'll get 4 videos. The last 3 are a presentation some Canon guy gave. He gives a lot of info about the 7D that I didn't get from reading the manual.

Enjoy.


Cheers

Congratulations Mic. If you haven't seen the videos from above go have a look. It goes into the features and how to actually use them. Probably better to read the manual first and then watch the videos.

Glad the sad saga has come to a happy ending.

My focusing screen from http://focusingscreen.com/ arrived in the mail today.

"Rule of Thirds" split image microprism focusing screen for PENTAX K-7
http://www.focusingscreen.com/produc...roducts_id=855

Came in Nikon packaging - stamped Pentax K7 - I assume it fits the Nikon's as well.

I have one on the K20D and of course the MX came with one standard.

Well I've been pretty busy buying gear (sorry credit card!) I got a Manfrotto 055X ProB, 77mm Hoya HD Circ PL yesterday and my new camera bag arrived today in the mail from the US.

They threw in a camera strap with the bag which is kind of cool looking, might put it on my old Canonet film camera I use time to time

[Helen S]

Paid for yesterday and arrived today... one Aussie stock Canon 5D MkII + battery grip. Just (impatiently) waiting for the first of the batteries to charge so I can fire it up.

Huge thanks to Fabian at NGSystems. The communication with him is great and his service is excellent.
