I'm pretty happy with my 7D's. Right now, the 7D may be the Canon that comes
the closest to living up to its price. (Maybe the 1DX would; but if the
release date keeps slipping, how will we ever know?)

BTW, did I read the other day that the new 24-70 f/2.8 is also still not out?
If so, what are early adopters using for a walking-around lens on their 5D3's?
For the 7D we have the excellent 17-55 f/2.8, but many people say that the old
24-70 is a dog. In any case, nobody is going to buy the old 24-70 for his 5D3
while waiting for the new lens. (I'm assuming, of course, that for someone who
actually bought a 5D3, the price of the new lens is no barrier.) If your 5D3
purchase represents your entry into full-frame, maybe you don't even own any
FF walker.
