And speaking of kicking guts, Canon surely knows to hit it right where it hurts most. The Nikon 300s’ main selling point is its ability to take videos—something that a lot of people were looking for. But with the Canon 7D’s release, Nikon 300s is losing a big part of its appeal.

The 7D’s video-taking capabilities can be considered the best in the market today. It has the ability to shoot 1080p video at 30, 24, or 25 frames per second (FPS). And, if you decrease that to 720p, you can take photos at a whopping 60FPS.

Still, here are a few changes from the D300 that are worth noting:

• HD video imaging: this camera can capture 720p HD at 24 frames per second—perfect for photographers who’d like to try their skills at video making, too. The D300s also has an input jack for stereo microphones, so users can record sound with the videos, too. There’s a built-in mic volume control, too, which has three…
  

For me personally, Joe McNally is right up there with the best of the best in the world of photography.
