I've been reading the manual, testing and trying to get used to the new camera for over a week now. It's going to be a slow go as I just don't have time to dedicate the hours needed to really get this thing down. There are new custom features to learn, a more robust AF system to master, and I need to remember to really stretch my thumb over to active the AF-ON button (rather then the * button I'm used to on the 5D). And this is just for the still images - the video features on the 7D is another story!
There is no way I can use this as my first body on my next equine/sport event without a lot more practice. I guess I know what I'm doing this weekend!
Anyway, it seems I have at least locked down the non-moving one-shot images! Actually, I got lucky. The horses in the pasture were just standing around looking pretty (I wish I could be like that) so I came away with this nice shot.
