How do you upgrade a 70-200 2.8L IS?

They are both great lenses and very versatile.

I really want to buy a 24-70 2.8L II but need to pay bills and save up first!

85 1.8 is all I use besides my 18-55. The 85 is front focusing on me a bit, but so has every other lens I put on my current t2i... weak sauce. So we'll see what happens, been wanting a 7D for a long time and hopefully it was my t2i that was out of calibration. If not, a simple lens cal on the camera will do the trick. Plus, the silent shooting mode on the 7D for my external flashes + live view + my nexus tablet + dslr controller = awesome! Can't wait to do that!

Got my 7D the other day, going out for the first time tonight with it! Can't wait!

Sweet!

You'll love how stupid fast the shutter is if you're shooting action. Having switched to a 5D MkII, I kind of miss the different focus zones and other things you can customize on the 7D.

Is the cross point AF better than single point from your experience?

I'm always using the cross type focus point.
I don't have any concrete examples of where one is better than the other... just the "on paper" data.
One of the focus point settings I really liked for the 7D was where you could select one point as your main focus point, but it would also give consideration to the adjacent points.

Had great success tonight with the new camera! It was definitely a worthy upgrade over my old, worn t2i. I'll post some shots later on.

Cool. I love my 7D. I'm renting a second one this weekend for a wedding reception. Thought about renting a 5D MKiii, but thought familiarity would be better.

Did a little pre-reception learning/testing.

Here are some shots with the 7D w/ 85mm 1.8! God I love this camera! The first 4 shots are in a sequence:

Not my work, but found it on a photography forum. Thought it was worth a share here:
