The EOS 7D is a game changer in the DSLR world. with the ability to shoot high quality still photos and then quickly switch to HD video, the 7D offers the flexibility of many cameras in one. Other reviewers have discussed at length the features, functions and so forth. I'll address what I think are critical points when considering such a camera.Aimed squarely at the prosumer market, the 7D offers professional level ability while keeping the operation simple and allowing the user to adjust the complexity up as their talents and skills develop.It should be said that a camera doesn't make a photographer, but a quality camera can make a good photographer better. If you're spending up for this camera body, do yourself a favor and save some money for a good quality "L" lens, a good quality tripod (expect to spend from $700-$1500) and maybe some training. The capabilities of this camera far exceed most casual to amateur photographers, so spend some time learning the art of photography and you'll get many years of great memories out of this camera.In shooting thousands of photos with this camera, I've found a few tips that are worth mentioning. As with any electronic equipment, there are native resolutions and calculated resolutions. If you stick to ISO settings on multiples of ISO 160, you'll find the images less noisy and much clearer. This is because the native ISO settings are on or nearest to a factor of 160. ie: 160, 320, 480, 640, 800, 1250, 2400, 5000. Use a high quality lens, use a high quality CF card, and use high quality imaging editing software. Canon's software is good, but there are other options that offer better work-flow and more features such as Aperture, CaptureOne, and Lightroom.Most of all, get out and use it. The only way to get better is practice.

Right off the bat, I don't own this camera (have you seen the price???). But I do work with a guy who owns one, and I'm motivated to comment on it.I'm working with a new camera guy on a small, indie film that was shot in the Sacramento area. I'm doing the behind-the-scenes still photography. He was shooting that day using a Steadicam, which is a very expensive item. I'm looking for the pro-sumer camcorder like I've seen many times before. Instead, he's there with the Canon 7d. I'm thinking, what is going on? Why has he popped a still camera on a Steadicam? But he's shooting the entire film on this!He's been hired to shoot this film, and the deal is is that he brings his own equipment to the shoot. He told me his still has a few professional camcorders, but the Canon 7d does HD, the quality is excellent, and the camera is inexpensive for what it does. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to get this camera.The quality of the photographs he's taken is excellent. Strikingly good, as a matter of fact. And the film quality is excellent as well.Now I have nice equipment, both film and digital Nikons, and a Canon camcorder miniDV . But my Nikon does not shoot HD video. I don't really shoot video that needs to be superb quality (I mean my cat is cute and all, but...). So I don't need this camera, since I already have a nice camcorder. In general, I have too many cameras, period.I will say that if I were in the market for a pro-sumer camera that did two things, and two things very well, I'd definitely by this Canon 7d. There would be no need to by a separate camcorder. That saves money, potentially a lot of money.For the quality of the photos and the video, the price is extremely reasonable. My Nikon that shoots pretty much only stills cost me about the same.Very highly recommended. If you are even thinking about this camera, go out an buy it! I'd love to purchase this camera. It kills two birds with one stone, so to say. I assume this is the direction that many high-end and even medium-range cameras are going in. Less money in the long run, fewer cameras to lug around, fewer tapes and cards to carry. This is also a lot smaller than a huge camcorder, it is lighter, easier to store, and handier to carry all around.Canon has a real winner here. Five +++ stars for the Canon 7d.

I am a professional press photographer and purchased this camera in hope of cleaner high ISO pictures, it is a requirement that my cameras can out put usable j-peg images straight from the camera, this is where the 7d fails and fails badly.I can quite honestly that high ISO noise is good, however low ISO noise is terrible.From ISO 200 images display a distinctive grain like appearance with unacceptable grey like noise in high contrast areas, by ISO 800 the images are totally unacceptable from a picture desk prospective with both grey and purple noise characteristics, I have no doubt that if you shoot raw and use the noise reduction software the images are cleaner, but you can run noise reduction software on any camera raw files.High ISO noise 3200+ can produce usable images where you would expect noise, however the devil is at the other end.Low ISO noise in iso 200 + images is completely and utterly unacceptable from this camera when shooting j-peg.On video, gimmick is the only word I can think of, Lack of manual audio control and the worst auto gain I have ever seen leave you requiring to produce a separate audio track to obtain acceptable results, in combination with no Af this leaves you holding a gimmick, sure it may be of use to film makers with on hand focus pullers, but for the guy just wanting to capture some general video it is less than useless .In short, if sitting down and spending an hour on each image with noise reduction software when you never had to before to get a usable image below iso 800 is your thing then this is the camera for you.If it's not like me, I am just grateful I could get someone to take a camera with such terrible j-peg image quality off my hands.I was utterly disappointed with the output quality of J-peg images from this camera.A honest review, with no spin.

This is an excellent camera. The viewfinder is great, autofocus (AF) is outstanding, and the quild quality is superb. For the price of 1.5k the 28-135 that is included is basically a free lens. Only a few months ago (going back from DEC11) the body alone was 1.5k and the 28-135 alone is a little less than .4k.I would not go with the 18-135 as the motor is not USM and if you ever plan on upgrading to a 5D or other full frame camera, it will not work. The included 28-135 is an EF lens and you can use it on any Canon DSLR. USM is super fast also and QUIET.

I just got the 7D a few days ago, so I'm sure I'll be adding more to this review as I gain experience with the camera. I purchased it as an upgrade to my Rebel Xsi, which I felt I had outgrown (I have TONS more to learn, I know...but I wanted a camera that had a lot more room for growth). The Rebel served me well, but I'm excited about the possibilities I have with the 7D. I should add, I'm an "experienced amateur"/semipro.One of the features I really like so far is the ability to use the 7D as a master unit for an off camera flash. I have the 430 EXII, which I've been using for a year or two now, and I love it. But I'd love to try some backlit shots as well as other creative lighting techniques. In just having this for a couple days, here's one shot I got: [...]I'm excited to try out the focusing capabilities in a variety of situations and with different lenses. I've already played around with fine tuning ("microadjusting") the focusing for different lenses. {See this article for more: [...]} I knew my 85 1.8 had been misbehaving for awhile when focusing, but I couldn't fix it (aside from manually focusing) on my Rebel. Now I can. Accurate focus is super important to me because I shoot wide apertures and usually tight shots...every centimeter is critical. One thing I find slightly annoying is that the focusing spot is a rather large rectangle. I'd like it to be a dot. You can turn Spot AF on in custom functions, which I did...it adds a smaller spot in the middle of the rectangle, but the rectangle is still there. I'm sure it's just going to take some getting used to.The camera feels much more rugged, heavy, and sturdy than the Rebel. So far, I'm loving it and have been glued to my manual!

I returned back canon 7D to compusa.com since :1) on the 6th day of use, I was in thick woods, taking butterflies, dragon flies and other wild life. I found a bug, yes a tiny bug crawling several times inside the shutter mirror!!! right in the mirror... I did not remove the lens after fitting it on the first day.. I don't know how he got in first. But I know he should not have got inside. Really poor dust or weather proof.2) I was not able to set shutter speed faster than 1/800 to catch a bird in flight. Has anyone seen this bug ? sometimes i could set faster shutter speeds, but could not repeat that setting. I borrowed Canon XSi from my friend, and it took just 4 seconds rotate wheel and set 1/1600s speed (or whatever speed i wanted). Pressing button holding to change aperture took 6-7 seconds without reading manual. But did not work even after reading 7D manual.3) Photos were not precisely sharp, about 40% of the time even if focus was correct. But contrast, colors were lovely. 60% of time focus was sharp, but I did NOT just pay 60% of the price or bought a beginner camera.4) If you want to utilize the potential of the camera, you must use L glasses and be ready to spend some $3000 on it. If you are going to use only consumer level lenses, you can very well stay with consumer cameras.. 7D + simple lenses = fooling yourself. I did not have total of $5000 to put in these.Other than this, the camera was very very good, Never missed a focus, colors were pleasing and contrast was better than Nikon, overall quality was better than Nikon. But the bugs I had (one with focussing, one with shutter priority mode and one with real crawling bug )

I am a Canon user for several years now, and already owned 40D and 5DMkII, I bought this model for the wild life shooting, with its sophisticated AF, I had to take some time to learn how to use it and configure it to my needs.Basically I changed the AF priority to Release, this way i can focus manually and then fire the shots, the AF does not throw the focus out initially.. i lost lot of shots in the beginning because of the default setting.Also, the auto ISO sucks when shooting indoor or shadows, it always use 3200, which has lot of noise when enlarged on a big monitor, and indeed ISO 800 would be perfect for shadow shots and bright indoor. I really dont understand why Canon dont have an option to set max. ISO limit like Nikon, it is frustrating to constantly change ISO settings outdoors..Image wise, it is superb, especially when not exceeding ISO 800, i can even crop it to fine details.. I do see clearly that 5DMkII outshines it though, the noise levels and feel and look of its quality is unmatched.Still, very happy with my purchase, i took hundreds of bird shots and loved every second of the experience..

Earlier this year I was looking for a good camera that would last me for a long time. I have lost and broken several "point and shoot" cameras over the past several years. On my last day of a three week vacation in Laos someone stole my small "point and shoot" camera out of my pocket. Lost all the pictures for the three weeks! Also left one on a bench at Disney. My last camera was in my back pocket when I was in Central America this past winter and I broke it. That was the last straw and my wife told me to get a larger camera so I won't loose/wreak more cameras.After researching I decided to get a DSLR. I hadn't used a SLR since the 70s so I was a little intimidated by the selection and features. I wanted a camera that would last me a long time and that I wouldn't have to upgrade when I got better at taking pictures. The Canon EOS 7D fit the bill.I must say that I read a lot of reviews here and many of them said that this camera is too complicated for a beginner. I must disagree. I fully agree with one of the reviewers here that said that if you have a desire to learn, this camera is for you. I was much encouraged by that reviewer and it help me decied to get the Canon 7D. I read several books when I bought this camera and was able to take pretty good pictures soon after. I have taken a couple of thousand pictures in the past six months and have used the auto mode for maybe only ten pictures. I get complements from friends and relatives, some of who are pretty good amature photographers.As far as the camera itself is concerned you can read all the other reviews that handle that. I agree with most all the positive points and won't bore you with more. This camera is fantastic. I LOVE my camera! It is a true joy to take it out and use it! Nuf said!The real reason for this review is to encourage anyone who was thinking of getting this camera but was intimidated by other reviews. If you are really interested in taking great pictures, want to invest some time getting to know the camera and want a camera that will last you for a long time, GET THIS CAMERA! You will not regret it!

I have been the proud owner of a Canon 20D for nearly 6 years. I decided I wanted to upgrade and started researching. I decided against the 60D and ordered the 7D. I have been pleased. I am not a professional--just a Nana who takes hundreds of pictures of my Angels! This camera is easy to use in auto and has full manual control as well. I love the larger screen on the back. I haven't tried the video yet as that was not an important consideration in my purchase. As an avid scrapbooker, I take and print hundreds of pictures each month.

An exceptional camera with regards to speed and the ability to handle climate. If you are looking to upgrade you Rebel this is the camera for you. Stick with the expensive glass as the cheaper lens tend to be softer and slower to focusing.

I have had this camera for only a month but have taken over 1000 pictures. Most came out very well, but as with anything it is all about practice. It takes some time to learn the layout and get fast at changing setting. The only draw back so far is the price of the CF cards VS the SD. Surprised Canon is still going with that format. Over all, LOVE it.

I orginally purchased a Nikon D7000 over the 7D because of a savings of over $400. That was a mistake, the D7000 looked great on paper but the actual performance was lacking. The images were soft and I had problems with a green pixel in video mode and red pixels in pictures. And yes I ran the firmware update multiple times. I returned the Nikon and purchased the Canon 7D. My god, what a camera. If I had known this camera was that good, I would have gladly spent the extra $400 and purchased this first. The camera shoots fast, the images are fantastic, and the build is outstanding. I made a mistake of using the Canon strap with this camera over my neck for a good 4 hours, the next day my neck was killing me. That's how heavy this camera is. I totally recommend the Black Rapid RS sport strap which puts the weight over the shoulder, but I digress. The video on this camera is also very good, if your subject stays put or if your willing to focus. This is an expensive camera especially if you compare to the Canon TI3 or 60D but you get the magnesium body, faster performance, weather sealing, significantly less shutter lag, and more focus points. I am very HAPPY with this purchase.

I upgraded from the XSi to the 7D. I used the XSi for about 10 months. Was it worth it? YES! It's because I USE/EXPLOIT the following features of the 7D not found on the XSi.AF System - I shoot some sports, birds-in-flight, and other moving targets and the AF performance of the 7D is AMAZING. It is FAST and ACCURATE. Not only can you select the AF point MUCH faster than the XSi, it has more modes too. AF-point expansion and Zone AF are my favorites. I find Spot AF to be really accurate especially in low light. No one should be using the full 19-pt auto-select AF if they are using this level of camera (in my opinion). 8FPS is blazin' fast!High-ISO - Ok, it's not a full frame but I can use ISO2500 with confidence. Luminance noise responds very well to noise reduction (In Lightroom 3, beta 2). I cringe at the ISO1600 output on the XSi.Handling - Having two control dials, a top LCD, and a directional "joystick" makes shooting so much easier than having just one dial on the XSi. Button layout is very intuitive.Viewfinder - Some say that the 100% viewfinder on the 7D is overrated. I don't think so. Just look through it and notice that it is much bigger and brighter than the XSi's. Your eye will scream for joy! OK, a bit exaggerated but you get my idea ;)Build Quality - Not a biggie especially if you don't expose your camera to harmful elements. However, I have to say that the bigger and heavier 7D is a bit more stable and easier to hold (bigger grip) than the small, plasticky XSi (get a battery grip, problem solved).18MP sensor - Whenever I crop a picture, I crop it hardcore. Having a bajillion pixels saves SO MUCH detail during the process. 25MB RAW files can fill up your hard drive fast.Other - you also get video capabilities (nice bonus), high-res LCD (sweet), electronic level finder (very useful on hand-held symmetrical shots). Also, the built-in wireless flash trigger works seamlessly with my 430EX II (now you're ready to do some real strobist stuff)If you don't plan on using these features, I'd say save your money and get better lens. Maybe get a T2i and have slightly better image quality but pretty much the same in all other aspects. Stay away from the 50D, not that it's a bad camera but rumors say that a 60D might come out soon. Note that I use high-quality lenses (EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM, and EF 70-200 f/4 L USM) and the 7D's jam-packed sensor can make the most out of them.Just my 2 cents. Hope this helps.Sir Adam

I have been shooting for a couple of years with the Rebel XSI. I purchased some nice lenses (50mm 1.4, 70-200 L IS 2.8) and was getting good results, but sometimes missed on great shots because of poor focus. I was saving up for the Canon 5d Mk2 when this camera came out. I went to the local camera shop and tried it side by side with the 5d Mk 2 with my own lenses and was sold on it immediately. The speed and accuracy of focus combined with the high frame rate were great, but more than that, the camera just was so responsive in every aspect. I would compare it to driving a sports car after driving the family minivan. All DSLRs are quick, but this camera was amazingly fast with low light, high ISO situations, locking on focus and taking the picture noticeably faster than the 5d.The one major concern I had was image quality. There were some negative reviews online, and I know the full frame cameras are the best at high ISO, low-light situations. After shooting more than 3,000 photos and 2 dozen videos over two months, however, I can tell you the image quality is spectacular for both photos and HD video. Not every photo is a masterpiece, but the "hit" rate of perfect focus and exposure is easily 3-4 times as high as for the Rebel XSI. The only trouble is, with the high frame rate, sorting through all of the photos to decide which one captures the moment the best. Considering this camera is almost $1000 less than the Canon 5d Mk 2, it is hard to imagine better performance.There are two negative to consider, mainly for the high-end consumer. First, the camera is significantly heavier than the entry level Rebel. Second, there are no "Scene" modes, like portrait or sports. This camera is more advanced and you need to have a pretty good idea of how to change aperture, shutter speed, and ISO to get good pictures. If you leave your current camera on the auto setting or scene settings most of the time, or you are trying to upgrade from a point-and-shoot to a DSLR, you will not be able to utilize this camera to its full potential without a significant amount of time invested in learning about photography.One final tip - I was able to record video and high frame rate photos using a 133x compact flash card without any problems.

I decided to upgrade from my 20D, and was trying to decide between the 5D Mark 2, or the 7D. I decided to go with the 7D because of the upgraded autofocus, and the amazingly fast burst speed of 9fps, plus it's quite a bit less expensive. And I'm sure glad I did.The camera feels absolutely solid in my hands, I can tell this is a camera that will function wonderfully no matter what conditions you put it through. And I know it's a camera that I'll be using for a very long time. The new 19 point autofocus system is a joy to use, and allows for pinpoint accuracy in a matter of seconds. The external flash control and firing ability is great to have built into the camera, rather than having to attach an extra (expensive) accessory to your camera when shooting studio stuff.I also find myself playing with the video mode a lot. It's nice to have both still and full HD video in one camera, even better that you can take pictures while you're taking video.Upgrading from my 20D to the 7D feels like upgrading from an amateur camera that's been hanging by a thread these past few years to upgrading to a pro-level camera that will last many years. I honestly can't see any features that it'd like to see introduced in the future, the autofocus is perfect (anymore would be overkill), MP count is more than enough, build quality is superb, ISO noise performance is miles ahead of the 20D (this alone is worth the upgrade). This camera has every feature and extra setting that I could ever want in a camera. Of course, the only drawback is the crop sensor, but I see that as an advantage to get farther shots when using a telephoto lens.

The 7D is technically a stunning camera. Compared to my previous camera, the 50D, this thing is a whole new beast.But with all the well documented Pros listed elsewhere, I'm going to mention my personal Cons:-Poorly designed grip: After an evening of holding the camera, I will have a blister on my right thumb. The thumb grip is way over pronounced. I have not had this problem with any previous Canon DSLRs.-Heavy: this thing is hard to lug around, especially with that uncomfortable grip.-Video will stop recording without warning: Some have said that this is because you need the fastest memory cards available. I have very fast cards, but apparently, they don't cut it when recording in full HD. I've missed several amazing shots because I looked down at the end to see that it had stopped recording with no warning.-$$$: for this kind of money, the above Cons are pretty serious.

It is not a 5D MkII. It is not a 50D. It is a near-perfect compromise between the two.In the 7D is a combination of resolution (18MP) and speed (8fps) which makes it an extremely versatile camera. Canon improved the high ISO performance, providing a 1 to 1.5 stop improvement. So, ISO 3200 looks like 1600. And with the ISO 6400 and 12800 you can see in the dark. However, ISO 12800 should only be used in dire emergencies. The 18MP allows for more aggressive cropping and more detailed prints at the larger sizes. The per-pixel detail is also excellent.The new AF system is both versatile, sophisticated, fast, and accurate (even at f1.4). I recommend dedicating some time to the manual and practicing with its many features because there is a little learning curve to extract the potential of the new AF. Added bonus with the new system are: ability to use any point for AI Servo, prioritizing focus over speed or visa versa, and AF point expansion.The 100% viewfinder is great and bright, enabling true WYSWYG composition and improved manual focusing. A grid, AF points, and other information can be toggled on and off to help with composition and alignment.A totally new and LONG OVERDUE feature is the ability to use the pop-up flash to control remote flashes. It works very well, especially indoors, triggering your remotes. Only situations I would resort to my 580EX II for triggering is if I'm outside in bright sun, flashes are at odd angles, or the flashes are far away. Aside from the those situations, the pop-up flash as a trigger works very well.It looks like Canon did a great job listening to its photographers and trends in photojournalism. This camera has the resolution and image quality for portraiture, but also the speed and ISO range for sports and photojournalism. Speed, resolution, and 1080p HD video makes the EOS 7D an excellent all-in-one and the best pro-sumer camera to date ... yes, even better than the Nikon 300 and Nikon 300s.CONS:- No dual CF slots.- No 1D-level weather sealing (I would gladly have paid extra for it)- Incandescent WB preset still not close enough.Recommended accessories:- Sandisk Extreme 8GB UDMA CF card(s)- BG-E7 battery grip and extra battery- Domke GRIPPER camera strap- LaCIE Rugged 500GB External HDD

This is my third Canon body. As I made the jump from my 50D to this camera I worried was it worth the money. IT WAS WORTH THE MONEY. This camera is the link between the pro 1D series and the prosumer market and it does it well.Unlike the Rebel and XXD series the 7D does not have setting for landscape, portait, sports, etc. It does have a fully automatic setting but if you had not done it before you will learn how to use the Av, Tv, M, P settings of your camera as well as how to adjust you exposures in camera and all of the other features that many that have the Rebel/XXD series have only toyed with.The advanced view finder makes framing the shot is easy. The 19 AF point focusing system means less out of focus action shots. The battery life is great. As a sports photographer the Shutter speed has allowed me to capture the point of impact between the bat and ball. The photo just makes me go wow the ball just appears to be frozen to the bat. If you only use like to use the "program" setting on your Rebel or XXD series this may not be the camera for you. But if you want to learn how to be a photographer BUY this camera you will not regret the purchase.
