Engadget has posted a review of the $1700 Canon 7D, it’s a solid writeup that hits all the high points and issues. But their summary at the end is what really caught my eye…

“If we’re running around shooting a mile-a-minute, we’re still going to reach for our trusty HD camcorder. But if we have a moment to breathe in between takes, you can bet the 7D will be the go-to camera. It’s easy to get caught up in the beautiful images from this camera, but like with all recording, it’s merely a tool to help tell a story.”

Well stated.
