Looks like I got beat to the punch. I was just coming to say look into the T2i – MUCH better value than the 7D (unless you need 8fps and various metering and AEB options).

I know my XSi is going on eBay!

Anyone interested in a good deal on a Rebel XSi with accessories feel free to contact me!

Next March
The only difference between it and the 7D is the 7D is made of metal, while the t2i is made of plastic.
Identical sensor, 1000 dollars less

Trust me, I know my Canons.
I currently have a Nikon D5000, looking to sell and by a T2i once they go cheaper on ebay.
Probably in 2 months

If you are going to shoot mostly video, look into the Canon t2i
It came out this week and has ALL the video capabilities of the 7D.
The 7D is a photographers camera more than it is a videographers camera.

Innaa lillaahi wa innaa ilaayhi raaji?oon…it boggles my mind how someone can see someone else’s property and then think they have the right to that. May Allaah replace your misappropriated goods with something better, in this life and in the aakhirah.

That setup looks enviable, maa shaa? Allaah. I have one recommendation, though…grab SD cards rather than CompactFlash (as that’s what the picture looks like, anyway). It’ll be more useful with other devices that you may either have now or end-up getting in the future, in shaa? Allaah..and, upon further examination of the specs, I see it doesn’t support that.

I can see that the 7D is excellent for video capture, so if you have to go CF with it, then so be it. I tried to look-up an alternative for you just now, but I couldn’t find anything comparable. Baraak Allaahu feek with all of it.

@Rizak -
I’ll prob purchase the same mic I had before. Its under $200 now.

@Danish & @Yusuf -
Thanks for the insight. I’m aiming to move towards docs and narratives (short and feature – at least that’s the plan)

@Shirien -
Always dreaming big – I am

@Nahyan & @Jawaad -
Thanks for the encouragement.

Can’t give as much insight on the actual camera as above ^^, but I’ve heard great things about it.

May Allah bring the best out of this situation for you.

InshaAllah your patience and upgrade is the good in this…

I don’t get this “Canon 50mm EF f 1.4 lens” and “Tokina 11mm…” mumbo jumbo but they sounds cool so hope that works out for the best
