Compared to my D80 I would say not at all, the only difference I notice is on burst mode, it is quite a bit slower than the slr. I am really surprised by the quality of the pics, photo bucket does not do them justice. I think the sensor in this camera would be the same as the one in your 7D and my D80 which won me over, I was going to wait for the canon G1X but after reading up thought this one just slightly better spec wise. You get the beauty of having a big sensor packed in a smaller body. I really didn't want another camera that I could change lenses on but I am glad I went that way now, It came with 2 lenses a 20mm and an 18 - 55mm . I haven't been happy with my little compact Nikon coolpix, so much so that I don't even take it with me because I know I won't bother using it. So I was having to lug my SLR around just for everyday snaps and I just wanted something in between.
