I have owned numerous Canon models and this is by far the best update yet. I have gone from the 20D, 40D, 50D and the I D mark III. I use the I D as my primary and have used my 50D in low light situations but the 7D is easily going to replace my 50D due to some the upgrades. HD Video although not the reason I purchased the camera can come in handy and the video is awesome. I like the speed of the 7D, 8fps compared to 6.3 fps of the 50D, which may not sound like a huge difference but it is when you shoot sporting events. Canon has also increased the weather sealing on the 7D and really notice it when you put your lens on and open up the CF card and battery compartments. If you are upgrading from 40D, 30D, or 20D you will notice significant improvements in the 7D over these models especially for low light photography, the ISO range is incredible and makes shooting at night with f2.8 or faster possible. Also if you have an older model than the 50D you will notice a huge difference in the 7D's LCD screen, which on the 40D and older is horrible including my 1D mark III.
What's great about it: Weather sealing, HD video, updated features
