choosing btw the hi and i

[MrSpace]

ani commments from users here? persoanlly tried the i and find it not bad, apart from the focusing speed.

Don't know about the 7i, but I don't have any issues with the focusing speed on the 7Hi. Pretty fast, I sometimes feel like I'm shooting off the hip. Then again don't take my word for it - there should be faster cameras out there. Suggest that you try it out at one of the shops to see if it is acceptable to you.

one of the improvements of 7hi is better battery life.

hey why does it say here that the batt life for 7Hi has less than that of 7i?
i mean, is there an expert here that can clarify or dpreview is correct?
