I have a 7D and use a 24mm - 105mm lense with IS.... great lense for everything. I also have the 24mm-70 L great lense too... but a bit heavy. I will got with the 24mm -105mm L.... great for photos and video.... Hope this helps. JoseCa

I just bought a 60D with the 50mm 1.4 lens. I just started using it, but it's a great general purpose prime lens. Keep in mind that the 7D (and 60D, T2i) have a 1.6 crop factor so any lens you buy, you will need to multiply by 1.6 to get the true size. So the 50mm is actually a 80mm. That might be a little too tight if you are shooting in close quarters. Vimeo has a bunch of lens videos.
