Canon Camera Choices

In this digital age of photography every year I am confronted with the dilemma of a new purchase.
Being a Canon camera guy, bought my first Canon in 1972, I have been pretty happy with their product, innovation and commitment to building a better camera. Back in the film days I would buy a camera every 10 years, maybe since there was not much innovation back in the film days. That was a good thing because then I could spend my hard earned dollars on better lenses. Perhaps this discipline of waiting has saved me from purchasing the latest " greatest" new digitall model of cameras. I passed over the 50D since I was quite happy with the performance of 40D and there wasn't much of a jump. Now Canon has come up with a 7D with hi res HD movies capabilities ( not to a replace a real HD video camera) but some of the new functions are very enticing, the new auto focus, 8 fps, leveler ( a very cool device to help level the camera and of course the 18mp cmos sensor...all very enticing...but of course it come with a 1700 price tag...The dilemma, pay off some of my debt or increase it by $ 1700..stay tuned later in the wacky world of Begleiter Photography located in the heart of Missoula Montana...a Full service photo studio serving Senior Portraits, Montana Weddings and Commercial photography
