Yes, indeed, long gone are the days of your F1, and that's what makes this such an exciting time.
I know you were kidding about the manual focus. I don't have my 7ll yet, but I'm sure I will be spending my share of time on manual focus when I do have it! :lol:
What's so exciting, is that once you get that focus system figured out, you will be doing things with the 7ll that just 2 weeks ago could ONLY be done focus-wise, with a $7000 camera!! :thumbup:
Problem is, you don't say what you will be focusing on?!
Just as an example, if it's birds, there was a post just a day or two ago that provided a link to a bird photographer where he lists the settings that HE sets the 7ll for bird pics.
I suggest you just start with the default settings and see what you get. In the meantime you can be reading the manual and fine-tuning what works for you. Good luck ;-)

I do mostly nature, landscape, macro, and people. I seems that most of those focusing formats were made for sports. but you're right. I'll play with it and see what happens. I hope the processing software is fairly easy to understand. I guess I missed the post of the bird photographer. I just got the camera this past Saturday. from now on I'll be checking in here more often to grab some tips.
