Canon 7d, is it worth it?

[John Doggett-williams]

Thanks. What about issues like the excess heat and button on and off after 12 minutes either he 60D?
By the way is it worth buying anything higher than a 8/16gig card? I occasionally need to run continuously over a couple of hours.

Haven’t had either issue at all. I use 16 GB cards generally speaking.

No worries John, I hope there’s some helpful stuff for you there.

Thanks again your replies cleared my head.
I’ve rolled the dice and have gone for the GH2 (my first panasonic purchase). Of course each dslr has pros and cons (not looking forward to the transcode) and the proof will be in the using but rightly or wrongly what swayed me was (apart from Rafael having one): overheating doesn’t seem to be an issue, the flip out screen, the audio control is convenient, other specs looked ok for video and hell 16.5 meg for stills is enough for me. I haven’t looked at lenses for the GH2 yet, any suggestions?

I’ve started with a PANASONIC 25/1.4 that I think is great for video. Very fast and with stabilizer.
You can put almost any kind of optic to the lumix, just need the correct adaptor.
Have a look in the DSLR and in the PANASONIC AF-100 forum, You will find a lot of useful info about your camera.
Dig also about the firmware hacks. There are people shooting at 170Mbps.

Great, thanks for the tip any obvious pros and cons you’ve found with the GH2?
