Try the Fv mode. It's very flexible especially if you configure a button or the bar to return a single one of the settings to auto rather than them all to auto.
The main 'problem' I found with the R was configuring it. Took me a couple of weeks to settle down on my final setup.
Cool, hope you enjoy it.
Upgrading for the sake of it is rather pointless !
That is a rather subjective comment
Sensors are horses for courses, there is no benefit of a crop over FF or FF over crop it depends on what you shoot, when you shoot and how you shoot or we would all be shooting with 100Mp medium format backs and £10Klenses.
I shoot for magazines, and use both, I also use both for landscape and sports and my editor has never complained nor have I shooting for myself.Just the same as some never take their cameras of either P or A, whereas my camera only knows Manual mode data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7That way "I" take the photo not the cameras automation
Of course it's subjective, I was commenting on my own experience with full frame versus crop sensors. I find a definite benefit to using full frame and as I take similar subjects to the OP I thought he might find it useful
Simply not true I’m afraid. Whether the benefit is useful to the user is a different matter, but to say there is no benefit is wrong data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Manual mode is not the holy grail data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 If it suits you then great, but why make it harder work than it needs to be? Using aperture priority, or shutter priority etc does not automatically mean you understand cameras, photography or exposure any less.

Sounds a good option to give you something a bit different to what you have and should compliment your 7D nicely.Have fun with it on your holiday which should be a good chance to have a proper play with it.
Been on holiday for almost a week now. Getting used to the evf is the biggest thing for me so far, trying to get the brightness right, also a lot of info can be displayed, sometimes too much, but it's quick and easy to change. I only bought the 24-105 with me (on purpose) seems very good to me. I've only downloaded pics to an iPad so far, the image quality, to me, is excellent. Once I get home and get them on a pc I shall upload some. All in all at the moment I'm happy.//static.avforums.com/styles/avf/smilies/clap.gif
