A nice person from a well known camera group has lent this combo to me for a couple of days .. I thought he was kidding until it turned up on the doorstep this morning. As a Pentax shooter who has been looking at the 7D closely I will be interested to see how they perform.

Note the Sigma lens .. the new OS verion :love:

I have until Thursday to play .. and have no memory card that will fit :lol:

 
Blimey, nice one, all I wish to turn up on my doorstep is someone who has the patience to teach me how to take better photos :lol::lol::lol::help:
 
What a tight fisted chap, lends you a camera and lens just to try and doesn't even give you a fast card to try:)

I'm sure you will find one, enjoy.
 
Just unpacked the camera ... brand new .. battery need charging.

How long does that take on a Canon ... :shrug:

2-2.5 hrs
 
Well the battery is charged, took it down the pond and the skys were really grey but anyway .. a couple taken @ 500mm wide open with the new OS Bigma. To be honest I'm totally lost with this camera after shooting with my Pentax, took me ages to put in a memory card, insert the battery and change the thing to single point focus.

AF is blisteringly fast in comparison compared to Pentax though but then my camera is over 3 years old and due an upgrade.

All taken hand held @ 1/250, missed the focus slightly on the second.

These were jpeg as I am using a 256mb card from an old P&S camera until I get something bigger later this afternoon.

Not much to look at but Im just playing atm and the ducks were not doing a lot.
