thats not how to change your lenses leaving the camera facing up welcoming all that wonderful dust  your 7d will love it

@jameslcr I've done it like this a lot of times as well as upside down, sideways and whatever position you can think of. Just two days ago I locked up the mirror to see if there was any dust on the sensor and there was nothing at all. I've had my 7D about 9 months now so all is good.

I get that there are better ways to changes the lens but geez guy, it's not the end of the world or anything.

@AlphaSphere ok cool but with such a good expensive camera minimizing the risk is what id do but hey good vid camera and lens :D

[AlphaSphere]

@jameslcr A little dust can't harm the camera physically but it can do a lot of harm to the pictures. It would definitely be a shame when shooting an event with dust on the sensor without knowing it and ruining all the pictures. That would be a total waste of time, effort and money.

From now on I'll check my sensor before each shoot. :)

Just joking with the previous post.

I read a review that for the Nikon they havent changed the direction the manual focus goes , just left it like for a canon. Also its loud autofocus was said to be annoying. Any thoughts ?
