Yes, if consider the features and performance per cost, 7D is the choice. I am happy with it.

I'm sure this will hit all the the right buttons with a lot of people. A bit too 'fantasy art' for my taste but the quality of the execution is amazing.

Winner! I don't even need to look through the rest. Looks like a signature DrAchoo border (see Pacific Daybreak). :)
