"In this video, we take a look at two Canon DSLRs - the 7D and the 5D Mark II. If you've got either one of the triple digit-D or double digit-D DSLRs from Canon, which of the two makes the ideal body to upgrade to? We take them out to compare some of the best bits of each camera...but the weather takes a turn for the worst. Find out to see if these cameras survive the Hong Kong Typhoons."

The Canon 7D is an impressive piece of technology, and offers significant value for the dollar. If I were a Canon shooter instead of a Nikon shooter, I guarantee I'd have the 7D. This video offers some interesting comparisons between the two models. Well worth watching!

"Both the D700 and the 5D Mark II give you more for your dollar in terms of features, image quality and overall excellence than anything else we've used. Period. We know not everyone is prepared to drop $2,000 to $3,000 on a camera body these days, but if you're thinking of investing for the long haul and, more importantly, have a good collection of either Nikon or Canon lenses, these are the two cameras you want to look at."

This is a very good comparison of the two full frame cameras from Nikon and Canon. And the article gets it exactly right - these are the cameras to own (if you have the cash). The article does a good job of comparing all the features and the sample photos are amazing. Check it out!

The link goes to a good writeup of the various advantages of the newest DSLR's, including the Canon 5D Mark II, Nikno D3X, Panasonic Lumix G1, Sony A900 amd the Pentax K20. THe price tag for the Nikon ($8000) is shocking in this economy and will be reserved for only the most well-heeled pros. As a non-purist, I love that they are adding video capability to many DSLR's now. Check out the link for more information!
