Are you sure he's not mad Lestat? His veins on his forehead are popping out.....so cute!

Anyway as for the 7D, I only defected from Sony because I wanted HD video with AF and Sony wasn't committing to bringing anything out with video anytime soon.

Here's what I dislike about the Canon 7D:
[*]The Quick Control Dial (ferris wheel looking thing at the back) - wish Canon implemented a dual dial like Sony and Nikon so if you are in Manual mode, you can use the front dial for Shutter and rear for Aperture.

Canon does have that.

[*]No AF/MF switch on the body - kind of bizzare actually. I haven't read the manual yet but looks like the only way to disengage the AF motor is to turn it off on the lens only for now.

Go into custom functions and turn off AF for the shutter button. There's a dedicated AF button already on the back, so just use that for AF.

[*]Not all Canon lenses come with hoods - I know that most digital lenses are less prone to flare and so on because of their digital coating, but a lens with no hood looks silly!

Yep. If it's not an L lens then it doesn't get a hood included.
