7D here.
18-135 f3.5
60mm f2.8 macro
70-300 "L" Zoom.
But I'm jonesing for a 5dMk3.
What do you print with?
Just for me personally, the point of a really high quality photo is to enjoy it large enough that you can see the tremendous detail and subtlety captured by the lens and camera. If you're just going to view it on a camera, a phone, or on an electronic picture frame, you might as well take it on a camera phone. But that's just me.
That's largely true, but I have noticed, even scaled down to laptop screen resolutions, that there can be a pretty significant difference in image quality even between a decent P&S and a DSLR. I've noticed this most strongly when I borrowed some L-series zooms for a couple hours. There was something I can't quite put my finger on that made the images pop in a way that, even with the same camera and my stock zoom, they don't otherwise.
Plus, there's really no competing with a camera that has a usable manual exposure mode in tricky lighting situations (this is sort of the converse of the principle that the camera phone in your pocket has better image quality than the DSLR you have in your closet at home...)
