<p>"The 10-22 is actually better than the 17-40 and 16-35/2.8 Mk I. The good primes (Canon's 17/4 and 24/3.5 II and Zeiss 21/2.8) are far from cheap."<br /> <strong>Oh really!</strong><br /> I owned crop sensored 550D, tried 10-22mm Canon, and 10-20mm Sigma, both have severe distortion and the image quality is far from good. I sold it, and now I own the 5D with 17-40mm, it's way better combo for shooting landscape. And for more money you can get the Canon 16-35mm 2.8 or Tokina 16-28mm 2.8, both are outstanding lenses to shoot landscape. Bottom line is that IQ and low light noise wise there isn't a dslr with crop sensor (maybe Nikon D7000/D5100), can even match that of the 5D I. <br /> I am not gonna deny 7D is a far superior camera overall compare to 5D, it has all the advanced Canon technology except for its sensor, the Canon APS-C sensors are light years behind the ones from Nikon. The AF system from 5D I and 5D II are just pure crap (even low end Canon and Nikon dslr have similar or better AF system), and the LCD from 5D I is far below average.<br>
The important thing is that 5D and 7D are for different purposes, with the fast AF system and 8 FPs, 7D is more of a sports/wildlife/general purpose camera; but the superior IQ of 5D allows it for portrait/wedding/studio/landscape shots.<br />Lastly, the fast wide angle primes are expensive, but you get what paid for, the Canon 24mm 1.4 and 14mm 2.8 are for specialized uses. Don't be get angry and start making things up just because you can't afford them.<br /> <br /></p>
