It is in a lowerpro carry case with the lens detached in a seperate compartment (all caps attatched), on my back in a sports bag. I don't ride like a lunatic. It's brand new and the bike would get me to nice places to shoot but I am worried about the camera. How robust are they to vibration?

Answer
They are very durable. As long as it is in a case the camera will be just fine. The sensor actually has a vibrating self-cleaner built in that shakes off dust from the sensor and the body is made from magnesium-hardened plastic. If you want greater protection, there are some lowepro cases that suspend the camera within the case, basically providing shocks for the camera body.

Also, Jim A - He is using a Lowepro backpack, and I'd put money down that it is a lowepro bag built for DSLRs. Anyone who drops 1800 on a camera body isn't going to toss it around like that. He is not just chucking it into his school backpack with his pencils and papers. He could double bag it, but like many other cases, that's not necessary.

What the best lens for a Canon 7D movie?

Oily skyes

I what to make a movie with a my canon 7D what lens would take the best quality possible? I would just like to know what the best would be for HD video.

Answer
As someone who shoots both Nikon and Canon, I know what I'd use for both and quite frankly my answer is largely the same.

For a 7D, you'll want a fast (light sensitive) midrange zoom, a telephoto, and a normal lens. The lenses I'd use for the job are the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L or f/4L, depending on budget constraints, and finally a 35mm f/1.8. In a pinch, the 35 alone will suffice because it will, on your camera, capture effectively what your eye sees. It won't zoom, but just move as needed; you'll be pleased with the results that one lens alone, or with the other two, will deliver. The next person who answered recommended the 24-70. It's a great lens, for the 5D Mark II and other full frame bodies. On your 7D, it will hardly be wide at all and it'll cost you an arm and a leg, but at least it will work on full frame unlike the EF-S should you ultimately decide to upgrade. Hope I helped.

Canon 7D question: what would be the best settings to shoot the following?

JAM

I recently purchased a Canon 7D and I have a Canon 28-135mm lens. I'm going to be taking photos of an Aikido class tomorrow. What would be the best shutter speed? aperture? ISO? also, which type of metering mode should I go for? Thanks in advance.

Answer
If you have to ask why on earth did you buy a 7d and not a rebel I wonder.

Ah well.... go for 1/.250 and a fairly wide aperture
