hey 7D owners, i need to record an hour of video, in a classroom, giving a powerpoint and software demo. Looking for advice on the cf card recommended for this…capacity and speed? and recommended settings for a typical classroom. I don't have a separate microphone so i will place the tripod not too far from my podium. Thanks gurus

You'd be surprised the audio improvement just by setting your phone close to you and speaking into it. The microphones in the cameras are garbage, and for dialogue you could have the most expensive mic in the world but the best audio quality is going to be close to the person speaking.

Beautiful shots guys... I seriously looked at doing this and y'all are making me want to run down to best buy right now!
What are your thoughts on the Nikon 5000/7000 series? What are the main differences between Canon and Nikon?

When it comes to cameras, it is best to put them in your hands first to see which ones feel good to you. When it comes to Canon or Nikon, both systems will produce excellent images but they can only do so much. The photographer makes the difference so learn about photography along with your camera. A book I recommend is Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson.
Then when you visit a place like Arches National Park you can come away with a photo like this which you can proudly show in your home.

Camera gurus, I ran across a Canon 60d crop sensor on BHphoto for 479. Looks to be new, not refurbished, and not gray market either. Does anyone have any experience with this camera or have you used it? I was thinking about a 70d since it is the newer model, but they list for 999. The 60d seems like a very good deal, at less than half the price.
I have an older Rebel from 2007, and I would like to replace it. The 60d would definitely be an upgrade from it, but would I be wanting to upgrade in another year because I should have saved more for the 70d?
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

I personally have a 7D and like the weather sealed aspect since it's a pretty wet climate here. The 70D boasts the same thing. when i compare the 60 and 70 d side by side the 70 is better but are those differences important to your style of photography? are they worth the 400-500 in difference? If you are coming from a rebel then maybe a 60d is a logical next step.

Rog - Both cameras are fine, If I was in your position I would go with the 60d unless you are planning on being in extreme weather.
Take the money saved and get yourself some good glass. I would recommend looking at the Canon 24-105L you can get it for around $500-$650 used. If you are going to shoot in lower light Look at the Sigma 17-50 2.8.

Thanks Gents. I'm going to pull the trigger on it. Couple other questions for you.
Darren: I wasnt sure which lens you were referring that you liked? The Canon or Sigma?
I rented the Canon a couple years ago, and really liked it for a walk around lens.
SD Cards what speed would you recommend for transfer rates? I was looking at the Sandisk Extreme and Extreme Pro they are 80 and 95mb/s.

Rog - I have both lenses. They are great. The Canon 24-105L is a great crisp lens. The only drawback is that it is F4 wide open which can cause light issues indoors. It does provide wonderful bokeh when your subject is well lit. The Sigma lens is the next tier down when it comes to lenses. Where you gain is the F2.8. Better shooting in lower light. I have used both lenses shooting sports for a publication. The Canon for Hockey and the Sigma for basketball.
