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!

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

70-200mm f/2.8L IS II, I suppose.....although you're not really getting much of an upgrade. This is def a keeper lens unless onzedge decides to go all hipster and trade all his gear in for a Leica.

edit: nm, it is an IS II

I have the IS II -- there is no upgrade.

I might eventually upgrade my EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM to the f/2.8 version that onzedge has.
You'll be first to know this time!

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.
