The in-camera raw process is in fact very useful for those who shoot JPEG, which I basically don't but consider many wedding or event photographer out there to be able to shoot a sample raw, in-camera process to the color, contrast he prefers, then set the process recipe to use as a custom picture style, and fire away the JPEGs, or shoot videos. The mass raw process is so fast and convenient with powerful computer and software today, I almost never shoot JPEG these days but this is a feature would be nice to shoot RAW+JPEG simutaneously.
Although I don't use 7D, I think it is a kind offer from Canon. What I really want from Canon is the timelapse setting as it is on F800E, which can easily come as a firmware update.

A nice surprise to us users. Not features that I really crave, but nice. I will probably use the in-camera image rating and the Auto ISO limiting. Given the number of features of this release, I would have hoped for better exposure bracketing and more auto ISO options (e.g. A-ISO=>100 when flash is switched on) and EC in Manual + A-ISO mode. Can't have it all :-)
Kind of interesting to speculate what this hints for the upgrade schedule of high-end crop cameras from Canon. Does this mean that the old 7D will have to sell for a bit longer, while we wait for the 70D/7Dmk2/7D X to arrive?
