Why I love digital

Oh yeah. The 7D has a diopter adjustment too, just for us old guys. I do
have a little trouble shooting with glasses on, but mostly it just amounts
to not being able to see the shake meter.

Ok, so the serious photographer who wears glasses should do what.....use a
string and measure the distance from the subject to the focal point in the
camera....autofocus is a god send for those who do not have 20/20
vision...hopefully it might not be something you will be concerned
with...but once you go over 40 years old you have a good chance of needing
some vision correction device and you will realize the benefit of
autofocus.

That's true. I have a wife and a niece that hate getting their pix taken. I
haven't been able to get a shot of their faces yet. Haven't tried it with
manual focus yet, though.

2/10ths of a second can make all the difference in the world.

Chimping is the act of looking at your photos on the camera.

Now that I know what it is, I know I dont do it!

I never look back though the shots untill I load them on the computer.

I got used to film, and never developed ('scuse the pun) the habit of looking
at the shots on the camera.

The diopter on my F100 also helps me, but I still feel safer with auto
focus. I do have to manually focus my 1000mm lens and I seem to do OK
without my glasses. I just don't trust my eyes anymore.

This is a serious design weakness that eliminated the 7D from
consideration for me.

Oh, give me a BREAK. Two tenths of a second? You won't notice. And


what is that about autofocus? You guys really slay me. I thought no


serious photographer would EVER use autofocus, so WHAT is the

complaint?

I'm old, so I should be more concerned about time, but .2 seconds is
definitely not something I can get excited about.
