comment Is there a way to automatically transfer photos from a DSLR to a PC hard disk as they are taken?
There are different options for multiple canon cameras on that site. The 7D is only one of this list usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/…

comment Replacing my XXD with a 7D?
You do realize that all 19 AF points on the 7D are cross-type, and f5.6 sensitive whereas the 19 cross type (same number) on the 1DIII are only sensitive for f2.8 and wider (except for the center which is f4). The center point on the 7D also has extra sensitivity on the diagonal for f2.8 and wider. I am not trying to claim the 7D has a better AF system, but the differences aren't as big as you imply.

comment Is Pentax K- series DSLR design safer for photography and video compared to a Canon EOS 7D?
If that were even remotely true, live view would be broken as well since I am pretty sure it works the same way. That is, the mirror is lifted out of the way. It is quite an unbelievable claim.

comment Benefits of upgrade from Canon EOS 400D to 7D
I went from a 350 to the 7D and another thing I found was that the clarity of the viewfinder was also a vast improvement and it still worked with my RC-1 wireless remote (unlike the 20-50D models). Great list though, covered pretty much everything I noticed as well.

comment Why would I want to select an autofocus point?
True, but on the 7D mentioned, they are all 19 points are cross-type

comment Is the Canon 7D a good upgrade from the Rebel XS?
While you may be correct about the IQ (I haven't compared them myself), it certainly offers much more than just ergonomics and extended control. Far superior AF (blows your 5D along with the others you mentioned out of the water) and remote flash control both come to mind, as does 8fps. If you are shooting sports or wildlife, it is a better choice than all of these cameras.

comment 7D or D700 for hockey?
The 7D is better than the 5DII for sports since it has a far far superior AF system. Now the 5DIII on the other hand, that would be my upgrade from my 7D for sports.

comment 7D or D700 for hockey?
What is the AF system on the Nikon like? I have a 7D and have shot gymnastics (worse lighting conditions than hockey) and have been pretty happy with the results. The AF on the 7D rocks and along with high ISO it is the biggest factor in getting usable shots.

comment Why is there glow around lights in every photo shot with my Canon EF 28-70mm f/2.8 L USM Lens?
What aperture did you shoot this at and were the other lenses as fast?

comment How much do I charge for the first time wedding photo shoot?
Yes, I addressed that relationship in the last line. The value of that can only be determined by the OP.
