Paul, Check out HDEW Cameras, they are £699 for the 7D Body but you do get 3 years warranty with it and they are UK Based.

I don't know what lenses you have but at £765 you also get the IS version of the 18-55mm Zoom.

They get good reviews too.

Regards Paul

I'll certainly give it consideration Paul thanks.
I want to stay away from the kit lens if I can. I felt I got the most I could out of it when I had it on my 600D and I don't think it'll be any better on a 7D.

Going to stick with my 70-300 and get to know it like the back of my hand, then fire on a Tokina 11-16 2.8.

I think you are in a dillema that we all have experienced at one time or another, i.e. which, when & how we jump.

The 7D is more than capable camera, and even when the 7D replacement arrives, it won't make the 7D a bad camera .

I did a review of the 7D here if you are interested:-

And a lot of the members have added their two pennorth, which makes it interesting.

And I agree with your general approach (and supported by others in the thread) regarding lenses, if you can afford it, don't skimp on good glass.
