No camera is perfect, but some come awfully close. I have a soft spot for Canon for their smooth and silky files. I absolutely love the skin tones, and the fact that the files are so easy to work with in post production.
Good news Canon fans, the new 7D has just been announced!
Here are a few specs from Canon’s website:

So, what’s so special about this camera? There are lots of great features, but I’ll name the ones that are important to me. It shoots up to ISO 6400 in 1/3 stop increments. It’s the second Canon DSLR camera able to shoot in HD 1080p mode, and is the first to do 24p natively! On top of that, it looks like Canon has finally ponied up to offering a more advanced autofocus system with multiple cross sensor AF points in a camera that doesn’t set you back more than four grand (1D MK III). Last but not least, it has a pop-up flash that acts as a master controller for those who use Canon speedlites off-camera.
Overall, it’s a fantastic camera, and looks to compete directly with the Nikon D300s. In the meanwhile, I’ll be waiting for that elusive 24p firmware update to my 5D MK IIs.
