News and more for Canon EOS 7D users.
I bought this domain in summer 2009 when the first rumors emerged about an upcoming new Canon APS-C camera line above the xxD series to be named EOS 7D. I thought making a "planet-site" about what sounded to be my next/dream camera could be fun.
The irony is that I don't (yet) have the camera myself. I originally hoped to be able to give it to myself as a Christmas present in 2009, and if I couldn't afford that, then at least buy it in spring 2010. But I couldn't find the money in 2010... Now - at the time of writing this - it is spring 2011 and I do have the money, but now I'm not sure about my priorities anymore...
So without having the camera to motivate my work on and inspire updates to this site, I have decided to put Planet 7D on hold.
The ultimate goal for this site was to make a place for 7D users to hangout, read news, discuss, learn, share photos and get tips. And if I had found the time and motivation to at least implement a forum, the site could maybe live without regularly news/blog-updates. But I never found the time or motivation to implement a forum (and some minor but needed layout updates to solve some quirks on the site), and not knowing when or if I ever get the camera myself I have decided to stop updating Planet 7D for now.
The Planet 7D group on Flickr will not be closed, so keep posting your best shots with your Canon 7D in it :-)
Myself, I'm an ordinary amateur photographer. By profession I'm an IT developer and live in Copenhagen, Denmark. You can find my photo gallery on Flickr, and I have a homemade sparingly updated personal homepage/blog named Rockland (danish site). I have been photographing with a DSLR since summer 2007 where I bought a Canon EOS 400D, and currently I - still - use the 50D...
