Okay, seriously… the Canon EOS 7D does some magical stuff in low light. Check out this video — The Cabbie — that kicked off The Story Beyond the Still, an HD Video Contest by Canon and Vimeo.
“Introducing the first user-generated HD Video Contest where photographers become filmmakers, and we all see beyond the still. To kick off the contest, Canon asked me to interpret what story I saw beyond the still, and to tell that story with the new Canon EOS 7D. My short film (The Cabbie) will be the first chapter of seven, each ending with a still photograph for the next aspiring filmmaker to interpret. Posing the question to everyone, what do you see beyond the still?”

It appears only US citizens are allowed to participate in this contest: From the list of rules on Vimeo:
5. Open to US RESIDENTS only who are over the age of majority in their State of residence at the time of entry.
This contest is only open to U.S residents but the video is still a shining example of what can be done with a 7D.
