Just got the 7D body last week, so I decided to take it out and play with it for a little this past Sunday. Really impressed with it so far. The only real gripe I have is a minor one I guess, no articulating LCD screen. This is probably due to the fact that I got so used to the GH1. Other than that, the camera is top-notch.
Lenses used in addition to the glidetrack:
Canon EF 50mm 1.8
Canon 16-35mm L 2.8
Shot in 24 & 60, then slightly graded using FCP CC.
Wish I could've shot more, but I was in a rush to beat the sun. Comments and critiques very welcome...Enjoy the quick edit.

Totally agree with Beirut. They're awesome...
Anyhow, I appreciate the comments very much...I'll be sure to add you as a contact.
Can't wait to get my hands on a 7D. Never will I pre-order from Amazon again.
Used a 1m Glidetrack.
Bummer with Amazon. I had a preorder with them as well and canceled because of having to wait. I got lucky to say the least.
Heard today via Mr. Bloom that Canon is working on a firmware update for the 7D due mid-October. Maybe that's why Amazon is holding back on shipping. I unno.
Appreciate you taking the time to answer everyone's questions. =)
As for the update, I saw him tweet that as well. =) Not sure if that's the reason why Amazon is holding back though. Bummer that you haven't gotten yours yet.
If there is an update, I have no clue what it would be for. Who knows. Maybe it'll disable AGC??? Haha...It's a long shot, I know.
Glidetrack gave me subtle, but awesome movement.
Did you use the Glidetrack compact or standard?
Thanks,
Johnnie
I used the Glidestrack standard, which is about 1 meter.
Also, I saw your "Vienna is not Beijing" short and thought it was awesome. =) Good stuff as well Johnnie. How are the Samyang Europe lenses?
FYI, I've added you as a contact on here as well!
Thanks for the valuable info!
I am sure you like me is exited to take part in the "revolution" :)
You can not beat the quality for price of the Samyang lenses. The up coming 14mm will serve us very well.
Thanks again!
Johnnie
This is very tempting, but don't have enough solid arguments to buy it, haha, maybe next year.
Are you a professional, or just a hobbyist ? You've got the eyes.
In regards to your question, I'm a hobbyist fortunate enough to make money at it. Very lucky to say the least.
Thanks for the "like" and comments.
I'm a hobbyist and passionate photographer looking to make profit out of my creations, but demands are very rare around here.
Best hopes for your work!
As others have pointed out the shot at 0:36 looks/feels astonishing, it's perfect!
Gah! I can't wait for my 7D to arrive, it'll be my first camera, I'm really looking forward to learning all the in's and out's of photography and shooting short films.
Good Work!
If you need info on the glidetrack, check out glidetrack.com. As for weight, they are fairly light and easy to lug around.
They have a Glidetrack HD which would suit your needs more for an HD Camera!
The lens I used was the Canon 16-35mm 2.8L and honestly, the crop wasn't bad at all on it. For me, it was wide enough. You have a limited selection, but if you can make do with one that's available, you're good to go. For me, the 16-35mm and 50mm are must haves for this cam.
Love the 50mm f1.8 also add the 35mm f2.0 (or f1.8 if you can afford it.
Canceled and went with Service Photo in Maryland. Great group of guys down there. Top-notch customer service.
I just called and ordered over the phone. i'm getting it next tuesday. I should've followed you on twitter earlier. too bad i can't use it at the wedding this saturday. Anyways, thanks sooooo much.
Thanks for the follow on Twitter. Great to meet someone on here that's local.
love the coast
what a inspiration...:)
I would still invest in at least either a 50mm or something a little longer though.
love the shot at 00:43
Also, what frame rate weirdness have you noticed?
