How is the "jello" issue on the 7D?

I have (estimate) over 100 hours of shooting time on the 7D. I have never come across a shot ruined by jello that would have otherwise been "usable."

I can't say whether or not that makes it "less" than other cameras, but it hasn't been an issue for me. Of course I also take care to stabilize the camera (tripod, shoulder mount, etc.) whenever possible, and I don't wave it around like a nut-job.
 
Its minimal as long as you know it exists and compensate appropriately.

It should be unnoticeable on normal speed camera pans and of course it will be very noticeable on exaggerated swish pans, but thats to be expected and not to mention swish pans are pretty jarring as it is, so I don't think it will call too much attention to the "jello" effect anyway, at least not to the general population ;-).

If you want to see how handheld holds up you can check out the last short I did here:

We were pretty much all handheld for that.
 
It's a non-issue if you're shooting 60p, just like with the GH1. But at 30p and 24p, it's about as bad as the others, except for the Nikons, which are clearly the worst.

as with most other shorts, what's the motive for the violence? the technology is there but the stories are still unexciting and open ended.
 
as stated, just organize some form of stabilization. Also, avoid filming fast passing objects ( like trains ) at close proximity.

I see jello in that clip. Often it's subtle, but it's clearly there.

Foundry's Rolling Shutter plugin is a pretty decent solution.
