Bought the missus a 7D for her birthday. Hopefully a good jump up from the 450D she had :)
Any tips?

Try not to get to much jizz on it.

It'll get sticky.

Nice SLR man. Sound purchase. What lens? 15-85mm?

If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

Tripod and its need depends on what you are shooting. In short, low light (night, dusk, dawn), tripod is better, but not always required.

Why do you like battery grips so much swindle? Swapping batteries is easy as, and I don't miss shots while I am swapping the battery.

Change the feel/weight and handling of the camera rather dramatically.

Wouldn't shoot an SLR without one.

Damn, jizzed all over it. Is that a problem?

Lens is 18-135 that I got with it. She has the Kiss rebel kit lenses from the 450D also. I think it's like 15-35 and a 75-300. Should be a good kit.

Nice. Yeah she'll love it. Once you go 7D you never go back.

Good little selection of lenses.

I won an Olympus OMD E-M5 for $5, it retails for about $1200 when I last checked, and it is absolutely bloody fantastic.
