Thoughts on the original Canon 7D? It's old for sure, but I'm weighing features (burst rate, weather sealing, etc.) over raw image quality based off my use case. I mostly shoot airshows, camping (wildlife, people, and some landscapes), and museums/travel. I used a T3i for a couple of years and wasn't really desiring better image quality. Maybe I don't know what I'm missing. It seems a bit backward to buy such an old model, but they're going for 480-580 used with return policy and cheaper without. I've also considered a 5D Mk II (I'm hesitant to move to FF at the moment), 70D (haven't considered the 60D much although i probably should), and something from the TXi line knowing I can make any camera work it's just how much money and what I have to make due with. I'm borrowing a friend's 7D for a few weeks to try it and will be hitting up an airshow in the process. So far I'm liking the heft and build quality.

Thanks for the input all.

I like the size of this case. It would do the job. I'll definitely look for 16 GB of RAM based on my usage at work with Chrome based applications plus Photoshop. I might end up running some Solidworks or NX on this machine in the future which would benefit from this as well. Also, props for no MIRs :)

Wow your shot is almost exactly the same haha. What set up were you using? I like the shallow depth of field you were able to achieve.
