Just bought the 7D 2 weeks ago, after using the 7 ( very satisfied with it ) for 5 years. So far, very happy with the picture quality. I am using the Sandisk Ultra 2 ( speed 80x ? ). However, a few minor irritations :

1. Magnification seems to take a long time ! ( about 3 - 4 seconds ? )
2. Writing to card ( after taking a shot ) also seems to take longer now ( card memory nearly full, about 140 shots taken out of a possible max of approx 170 shots ) than when I first started ( memory still relatively empty ). When I said long, I mean, the red indicator light seems to be on for quite a while ( according to the manual, this indicates the process of saving to the card ).

Do you all have this problem ? Advice appreciated,
tq

sigh..thanks. checked and found it is indeed version 1.0. Looks like have to bring it back to KM to update the firmware. Or is it possible to self-update by downloading from the KM website ? Any risk of permanently damaging the camera ? :angry:
