It's a huge selling point, since the 7D is about 40% of the price of a 1DmIII, but delivers 80% of the fps and has a newer, possibly better AF unit, along with a more compact size and much more resolution. Expect the wildlife types to buy 7D's in droves. And there's plenty of amateur and semi-pro users who need that sort of performance but don't have 1D money. Lots more guys shooting local sports than SI shooters. -- M.
