Do you 7d owner feel that the 7d offer a significant leap in quality and usability from the 40d/50d? And is it true that the 7d require more post-processing to get good results?

Definitely more quality and usability, but still doing the same processing that I did before, but all users have there own way of processing and usually stick to it until they learn new one, and boy I still got to learn a lot more.
BTW I came from the 450d 50d route

High 7D-users !
I am a 7D owner since 2 days. I bought it because of its new AF-system and for improving my BIF shots. I read about the importance of putting CFn-III-1 to slow. But what about the importance of CFn-III-3 for BIF ?? 0 or 1 ? Is the position "1" mainly for zone-AF in order to prevent focusing on foreground objects ? May this setting be useful for BIF with zone-AF? Which setting with extended AF-area ?
Anybody tried these settings ?
best wishes,
Andreas

For anyone interested in the 7D with 2X teleconverters (two of them!) and the problems of diffraction, you might like to check out this moon shot by Romy Ocon at 1600mm, f/16....

Good question Andreas, from what I have read Cfn III-3 is best on position 1 if you are using multi points like zone AF but if you are using point expansion then position 0 is probably best. I have left mine on position 0 and it works fine but I do not use zone AF.
I too,would be interested in what other think.

Where is this from one of the grey market importers or a smaller firm I guess as the cheapest on Camerapricebusters is still £1240

Attached is a shot I took last week (both full frame and the crop). Not a particularly good or interesting shot but it does say something for the 7D's AF ability IMO. Through all the clutter it managed to nail the birds head.
I probably should have used spot AF for this type of shot but it was taken with the normal single point AF (centre point).

Getting a 7D after all the pictures I have seen on here, whats the difference between spot focus and centre point ?

Spot AF reduces the size of a normal focus point.The benefit of Spot AF is its ability to let you pin-point focus upon a tiny area of a scene.
