<p>I upgraded to the 7D from a 40D over 5 years ago. The 7D is the best camera I have ever owned, by far! It's super rugged (a must for me) and a SUPERB tool. The 7DII is only better. Best of luck.<br>
I'll be in the market for a new body next year. I am simply hoping for something awesome from Canon in the next several months that costs under $2,000.</p>
