Note to the lens!

I will be here shortly, more accurate can you see from the other reviews (of course, only the 5 star).
Although I am a beginner, but I have almost 10 years am engaged in photography and was allowed to keep several cameras in the 2000 range in hand, I went with a raised nose to the work strictly according to the meaning "at least one EOS 7D". Since I had very high expectations, I was a little uncomfortable with the purchase, but I was surprised positive!
Super camera, but as I said, there is very detailed 5 star reviews, just read.

Let's talk about my part:

I am amazed by this camera through and through, and everything has already been said, I want to say only what to autofocus, then what the kit lens (18-55mm).

1. AF Live View
Who is concerned precisely with the technique of the camera, which will be noted that the sensors for Sharpness control are not available on the image sensor, but underneath / next. A portion of the light is reflected off by the mirror to the sensors. If you now start the Live View mode, the mirror flips up and the image sensor is permanently exposed, logically. But that also means that the sharpness control sensors gotten no light and therefore can not be used. As a result, the sharpness control is now working on contrast detection on the image sensor!
Clearly, as the autofocus is slower.
This is a DSLR because you look through the viewfinder to 95% who do not like it, which must rely willy-nilly to the middle classes cameras (two digit naming) or professional.
Or a system camera, which are namely not rely on the mirror and ask similar to a digital camera sharp!

2. Lens
The lens is incredible!
I shot the first pictures and immediately recognized the eye-catching on the edge of the Red and Blue contours welcome Chromatic Abber rations!
These were already really bad, a crop in the border area was impossible!
But looking at the camera in the menu just look at and attracts the occasional firmware update, you immediately recognize that this has troubleshooting. There is a profile especially for the lens are available and to activate all of the options, you can see in the pictures no mistake. As if a professional lens is screwed.
Nothing is loose, does not rattle.
The word STM is the icing on the cake !!!
This one loses the complete SLR feel, in a good way. It scans the shutter button halfway and the image is sharp, no sound, no movement, nothing, we think it would happen in the lens. Kudos to the inventor of this technology.

In addition, Extra, which struck me immediately:
Anyone in possession of a polarizing filter, which can not stand straight kit lenses, as they always rotate the zoom or the focus, and thus adjust the filter. But even here, the filter thread turns with a single millimeter. This technique is normally installed only on more expensive lenses, therefore also here Thumbs Up!
