Major new feature appears to be a three-part 'concertina' mirror which neatly folds out of the way to clear lenses with deeply protruding rear sections.

| We had a request from one of our 5D users, who was having issues with some old Contax lenses; this is our response |
said Toishi Yamamoto, head of manual lens compatibility research at Canon, Inc.
The 7D also features user-replaceable focus screens, and explodes if an AF lens is mounted. Pricing is yet to be announced, although "!0% less than whatever Nikon comes out with" was mentioned off the record.

Guys, please keep your fingers crossed for me.
It seems that I have won a ticket for the Photokina and perhaps my principal even grants me a day off to go there (for my school - I am the "school photographer"  ).

Guys it is not funny. Exploding cameras can be very dangerous. They are not toys and should be handled carefully
Good luck Carsten you will have a great time. BTW, will you take a sherpa to carry all the product literature back to the car park for you? |

I don't need that, Andy. I am used to carry around heavy gear, so I should not have a problem to carry around some literature.
