I've had the Rebel XT (350D) for three going four years, and yes it is a awesome camera!when I was looking for an upgrade to my rebel XT the T1i look really great, but then came the 7D and all of the new AF features and video. I think that the rebel body is lean and small even more now having a XD body.If your on a budget the rebel T1i is a great upgrade with more MP (al dough with 8MP is more than enough) good video Q, live view and better high ISO performance than the XXXD and if you like the rebel series bodies then you should go for it, now if you don't mind the video The 50D offers higher ISO and FPS than the rebel series and better IQ overall.7D !!! :I do recommend the upgrade to any one moving in that direction. The size is no issue when you get all that features, and it feels really good solid and hefty in your hands. The FPS & AF Are Fast. The high ISO performance is amazing comparing it to the XT, the low light focus and results are simply great. The AF points and versatile setup is so much better than the XT there is no comparing it.The view finder and the LCD screen are just awesome... you cannot compare it to the Rebel 350D its on another league.The battery life is longer, you can record RAW a JPG on at the same time or choose to do it with a press of a button. And the list of features goes on.I Think that there is still much potential on the 7D via firmware cos it's a awesome piece of hardware, no matter what they say.18-270mm Tamron VC ( got it last year to upgrade the Rebel and now use with the 7D )50D :I think (money wise) that a Canon 50D is a good upgrade (IQ compared to the 7D) and don't care for the video or faster AF.If you are looking for the most IQ available today, it's no brainer that the 5DMII is the choice (and don't mind the extra money) performs better in low light than the 7D. Now the 7D is faster on Focus and in FPS, so if youre a sports shooter or wildlife photographer the 7D will suit you more.Hope it helps you decideThe AF is not 100% accurate all the time ( got in touch with Canon Tech and they say maybe its because of the Tamron Lens? ) I get a bit soft images that you can improve with PP but overall you get very good IQ ( if want excellent IQ get the 5DMKII )Highly Recommended!

IF You love Bells & Whistles, IF you want a Camera that will Grow with you, as you grow with it, IF you just LOVE technology that screams 21sat Century, THEN you love the 7D. Everything from built in Histogram, Color Filters, B&W Monotone setting, and the usual Canon renown AI Servo, BIG 3" Brilliant Display, and on, and on. NOW, if you are a bit of a "Techno-Dweeb", such as myself, FEQAR NOT!!! There is a series of books called "Magic Lantern", that include a "General Photography" Book, AND, not ONLY a DVD that steers you through all the basics of F-stop, Shutter Speed, Focal Points, BUT also includes (In This Case) a DVD that literally "Holds your hand", and guides you through the overwhelming at first buttons, dials, screens, widgets, whisttles, nonmenclature, and nuances of the 7D. I went through books, and books, but the "Guide" is the "Bible" of this camera. Make no mistake, this is not one camera that you will master in a hour. BUT, within a week, you will have an inflated ego, from all the praise you receive from your "Mastery of the Lens". Perruse the "Auction" sites, and Amazon, the piddly price for the guide is peanuts. Accessories abound, including silicone skins, aftermarket remotes, vertical grips, batteries, AND

I've shot film and digital EOS series cameras for quite a while. The 7D is a huge step up from my 30D. Here's what I like after a long weekend:The 100% 1x viewfinder is a nice change, once I stopped compensating as I did with my 30D. Also, the overlay screens, like the grid, is helpful in keeping the horizons and verticals aligned without being obtrusive.Although there's been a few rumbles about the on/off switch being moved to the top left, once you get used to it, it is easier to use - I like it. The lock for the quick control wheel is in approximately the same place.The 3" LCD screen is big, bright and beautiful. There's a big difference, even in brightness. Less glare, too - noticeably less. The 7D has a level function which lets you judge if your camera is leaning to one side or tilting forward or back. Anyone who's peered over a bubble mounted on a hot shoe will appreciate this luxury. And the LCD is bright enough to make this feature useful in daylight.Another nice feature is that the menu structure is changed. There are more tabs, but all the menu items available on that tab are visible at once. No more scrolling off the screen to get to "format" or other functions.The 7D lets you shoot 3 different sized RAWs in addition to the usual slew of JPEG sizes. I like shooting the highest quality RAW + highest quality JPEG (so you get two files for each picture). These files sizes are HUGE! I found JPEGs to range from 4.73M to 11.1M and CR2 files range from 20.7M to 30.4M. My 8G Sandisk Extreme IV held 237 shots (474 files).Rather than give you my subjective opinion on picture quality (I am totally satisfied with the quality of the photos), I point you to the best technical reviews of cameras that I know of - dpreview. (Google it and you'll easily find it, I can't post the entire URL). As of now they just have a preview of the 7D. I'll post a few shots from Vermont w/ exposure info.Oct 31, 2009 Update: Canon has recently posted a service announcement which reads: "In images captured by continuous shooting, and under certain conditions, barely noticeable traces of the immediately preceding frame may be visible. This phenomenon is not noticeable in an image with optimal exposure. The phenomenon may become more noticeable if a retouching process such as level compensation is applied to emphasize the image." Keep your eyes open for a firmware update!Nov. Update: The firmware update is now available on Canon's website.

I upgraded to the 7D from my 40D. Liked my 40D, LOVE my 7D. So glad I upgraded. User interface is a lot more intuitive and it makes shooting in various conditions a lot easier. I was considering the 7D and full frame 5D Mark II -- glad I saved over $1,000 in going with the 7D. The head to head reviews I found, showed that in MOST situations, good glass on a 7D creates nearly identical images to the 5D -- I have good Canon glass already, so it was a no brainer. I needed a CF card, 7D has that. 19 AF points is unreal -- don't be fooled by Nikon's claims that they have dozens and dozens, most of those are not ACTIVE AF points, the 7D's are. Luv it!

This camera is fantastic.It is loaded with features, but a few of my favorites are:- the viewfinder, what you see is what you get, the view is 100%, no guesstimating about what is going to or not going to appear in the image. What you see is what you get.- solid build, the metal body has a great feel yet not too heavy- the quick view feature allows for complete central control of the shooting functions with a minimum of wasting time fiddling with menus or buttons- the battery life is excellent, I have two and that is enough for hundreds of shotsI could go on and on, I have been using this camera for almost a year and I cannot say enough good things about it.

Instead of rehashing the other great reviews here & elsewhere for this camera (all of which I agree with), I'm just noting that I also purchased from Amazon & would recommend you use the B+W 67mm UVA (Ultra Violet) Haze MRC Filter #010 to go on this lens & that works with no problems. Ditto for Canon EW-73B Lens Hood For 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS EF-S and 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lenses. Ditto for the Transcend 32 GB Compact Flash Card 400X (Blue). Enjoy!

Outstanding camera! Easy to use whether you are an experienced photographer or a novice. Recently over thanksgiving my three adult daughters and a son-in-law took several hundred photos of my grandaughter. None of them have any experience with a camera other than a PHD (Push Here Dummy) point and shoot type camera. About 95% of there shots were useable if not great. Whether you utilize manual, apeture priority, shutter priority (time value), or program mode, this camera is simple and easy to use. I use a Nikon D300 at work every day. After reading several articles and comparing the D300 to the 7D, I chose the 7D for the clarity of higher ISO shots and what looks like better color saturation. This camera has too many features to explain here, but I am extremely happy with this purchase. Unless you need a full frame camera, this is the best one on the market. One more thing, the eight frames a second setting is great for outdoor shots with the grandkids or sporting events.

Takes amateur photography to a new level. I used to have a Canon SLR 10 years ago....then switched to digital point and shoot camera - primarily because of convenience and portability and also because wasn't really impressed either with the quality OR the price points of DSLR's at that time. This camera addresses everything. I shoot mostly personal family pictures, kids, functions at home and landscapes when traveling. Have it paired with an EFS 17-55mm f/2.8 (my only lens so far!) and image quality is mind-blowing. Great bokeh and low light performance. I rarely use the flash. Rich, true and vivid colors even in low light with no flash. Would have preferred to get the Full frame 5D - but body and good lens combined were beyond what I wanted to spend on my first DSLR. Plan on using this as my first DSLR to get aquatinted before thinking of upgrading to a full frame.Have a friend with the EOS 5D and I confess that the picture quality of 5D with a 24-85mm f/2.8 is quite better and its the must have camera for anybody with serious ambitions in photography or spare change. In features and options though 7D is equal to the 5D if not better. But for starters - the EOS 7D is great - in fact exceptional. To realize its best potential pair it with a good and fast lens and NOT with one of the lenses that come packaged with it.

This is a great camera for some. For others, not so much. I am of the latter persuasion.Here's the deal: it's an 18MP crop camera. Want to shoot video? Great! The 7D delivers. Want to shoot still photos? You're better off with a 40D, or better yet, the 5D classic, IMHO the best deal on the market right now (full-frame for $1,000? Sounds great!)I owned this camera for about three months. I am disappointed in the muted colors, low contrast, and lack of sharpness this camera imparts on its pictures, even when paired with excellent lenses (re: Canon 10-22, 17-55 2.8 IS, 200 2.8 L, etc). The pixels on this camera are just too small to do a good job.Low light performance? Microlenses? PAH, I say! Compare the 7D to the 5D classic and you'll see the 5D wins every time.Save your money. Buy BETTER LENSES and a FULL FRAME CAMERA. Get a T2i for video if you need it, this is not a camera for people who pixel peep. Went to a 5D classic and a 40D and I couldn't be happier!

m1RQNF475R50DD / mo3S8EEL289L4U4 Length:: 0:14 MinsGot it. Love it. I can't even begin to re-hash all the superb reviews of this camera, but if photography is a serious hobby, or you're a pro and looking for a back-up for your 5D MkII or 1D Mk4 (OR you've already invested a small fortune in Canon compatible lenses), don't even hesitate to get this camera. Finally we get a workable Live View, HD Video, and a 1x OVF. Perfecto. If you want icing on the cake - look at Steves Digicam review, the DP Review, and the FredMiranda review - then come back here and buy it..Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!.In response to a comment, I have post photos showing ISO comparisons on my particular camera.I had to upload it here as a video (zooms in to 200% at 7 seconds) - will try to also upload the static image in user photos..See the comments to my review

This is the best opportunity I have had to enjoy the technological advances Canon has brought in this presentation called 7D. Its response speed, versatility in its applications and your choice BULB have made a tremendous impact on my development as an amateur photographer. Working with the 7D has been fantastic and the results have left me stunned. I recommend it as a high performance semi-pro camera.

i waited for more than a year to upgrade from my 40d to see how the community responded to the 7d.. the general consensus was that it was an awesome camera.. i got it right in time before prices went up, so that was good.. things i noticed when i shot a few frames was the bright viewfinder and crisp lcd.. features i looked forward to testing was the ability to shoot in even higher ISOs, 8fps burst, built-in flash trigger.. all worked wonderfully well and all in all, it's a great camera..

I have just up-graded from the SXi to the 7D and well worth the $$ body only (the kit lens could have been a better pick), but I own L glass anyway so not a big deal. Although the SXi is an outstanding entry level camera it does (for me) have a few issues. I can see now compared to the 7D. color/dynamic range (blues) I have shot many landscape or images with blue skis and the blues just are not there without processing. The same shots with the same ski using the 7D are superior in every way. I have only just begun to use the 7D, but I would not go back to the rebel ever again. (good qual alternative to a point and shoot) The 18meg pix is a pluse, but as most have already stated the IQ isn't dependant on mpix unless you crop to the extreme. This camera with a few L glass lenses will satisfy any advanced novice and even the less demanding pros. The in camera manipulation of the scene/settings (whatever it may be) is without a doubt the best for the $$ and no comparison to the lesser cameras. I am and have been an avider photographer since the early 80's (not a working pro) though I have won some contests and sold my share of images. Film is still my first love, but this camera is the best digital semi/pro I have seen to date.I would recommend this camera to anyone asking with a small discussion on what their needs are. i.e. the shooter who just wants a record of the moment could do well with any of the canon rebels or even the G series P&S cameras.con's:little over priced compared to the 50D and 5D marks (but still within reason),heavy for the older shooter, nothing a mono pod and side strap wont fix.

Three Positives:1. Live View - allows you to see exposure and depth of field (no darkening) in real time on a sharp and bright preview screen. You can then press the * button (AEL)and lock that exposure in.2. Critical Focusing - allows two stages of magnification in live view for critical focusing. I use it for "macro" photography with a EF 70-300mm lens. No stooping!3. Spot Metering - I know this has been on previous models but extremely useful when using in live mode. Really can get pinpoint exposure control without bracketing after some practice.Two other notables are low noise at high ISO and self cleaning sensor that really works. It also doesn't hurt to have the added pixel headroom.Two Negatives:1. Spare Battery - is overpriced on Amazon (sorry guys, I love ya but you need to bring your price in line with everyone else). If you use Live View a lot you will need a spare battery.2. Error Message 01 - "communications between the camera and lens is faulty" appeared at slower shutter speeds with my older EF-S 17-85MM. My two other lenses don't give this message. I just sent the lens to Canon to have it checked out - update to come. I think the 7D may be a bit less forgiving with well worn lenses than the 20D.Conclusion - If you can afford it, buy it. All the things you've been struggling to do with your 20D can be accomplished with the 7D in spades. There are new features that you need to learn by studying the manual but there is also a lot of familiar territory. If you thought you were a photo enthusiast before, you ain't seen nothing yet!Update 5/5/10 - Canon repaired EF-S 17-85mm replacing quite a few parts for $95 plus shipping. Bottom line - camera and lens now work with no error codes.

I received the 7D as payment for shooting my buddy's wedding. I had an XSi and loved it, but wanted an upgrade (as a T2i would have been a lateral move). When I got it home and unpacked it, I loved the feel and look. It is a super solid, tough, very nice looking camera. I was stoked. I started taking some random neutral light photos around my house and yard (with a 50mm f/1.4 USM @ ISO 100). I uploaded the photos to my Mac. The photos looked awesome. crisp, and bright. After a while I wanted to take some low light shots, mainly because I knew the wedding reception would be held in a dark area with minimal light. I bumped the ISO to 250 then 320, then 500. Shooting random pics of my kids in my darker living room at night. Holy noise!!! Even at 250 ISO with my 50mm f1.4 it's unacceptable. I was mortified but I had the wedding coming up in a few days. In a nutshell, my reception photos were complete crap! grainy and noisy. I was able to fix a few using Lightroom 3's improved noise reduction but even then they looked like paintings because it over compensates. I talked to the camera store I purchased it from and they said they have never heard of the noise problems, and that I should bring in some examples. forget about even shooting at 800 ISO let alone 1600 and higher. If anybody who owns a 7D and has experienced the poor low light quality, please leave a comment. I just might sell this bad boy and end up buying a T2i after all...

Ok gang, this camera is fantastic. It has features allowing a point and shoot user to operate it, or a very experienced professional photographer. The key to this camera is taking the time and learning all of it's features and capabilities (if that's possible). Leaving this camera on auto is like having a Ferrari and never driving faster than 25 MPH.I would highly recommend getting the DVDIntroduction to the Canon 7D, vol. 1 : Basic Controls Training DVD by Blue Crane Digital. After watching volume I & II, I was amazed at how much the 7D manual didn't cover. Definitely the best professional entry level available for this price.

I been using T2i for since it first came out and now switching to 7D because of the positive review on the new AF system. I can tell you even with the same 18MP sensor on both camera, it is a big leap from the 9 to 19 point AF and it make a big different between a good camera and excellent one. The focus is fast and accurate, I like the fact that you can set focus on off center object and AF system will follow the object when move, perfect for kid soccer game and I got many more useful shots. 8fps is lighting fast!! The AWB is actually very accurate and color saturation is good. I also like the fact that you can set grid line display on viewfinder, which help alignment with background. The only down side it weight a bit more, but the picture quality more than make up for it. I was considering 5DMKII, now I tried the new AF on 7D, for a general purpose camera, I don't think you can beat 7D, save the extra for a good L lens.

I could write a long drawn out review about the good and bad about the Canon 7d, but the truth about this camera is pretty cut and dry. The Canon 7d has NO better image quality than the Canon XSI, XTI, 40d....One can run all the test you'd like, but my customers do not lie. I have the Canon XSI, XTI and 40d as well as the 7d...After many shots in the field with the 7d I have found that this is a features packed camera, great for shooting birds at high speed, but when it comes to the main reason I buy a camera,and probably the main reason most pros buy cameras, which is image quality, the 7d offers NO advantages. Simply put, it's NOT worth the upgrade. Only you can decide if you'd like to spend an extra thousand bucks over say the Canon XSI...In reality, there are few cameras that can exceed its image quality. You'd have to go to full frame to get it !!!!...

I read everything I could get my hands on, and debated long and hard, when I knew I wanted to move up from my Rebel Xsi. I knew I wanted a Canon - to be able to use my existing EOS lenses - and narrowed my choice down between the 50D and the 7D. I could not be happier with my decision to go with the 7D. I am sorry to say, but shooting with this (compared to the Rebel Xsi) was like night and day difference. From the moment you press the shutter button, you know you are in a different league of equipment.Things I love:-- 19-pt focussing, along with the five AF selection modes (Single-point AF, Zone AF, Auto select 19-pt AF, spot AF and Manual AF point expansion) - easy to select, indispensable while shooting.-- Significant increase in accuracy in metering technology-- Easy to create customized functions (exposure, autofocus/drive, operation, etc.) and custom Picture Styles-- Love the Quick Control screen and ergonomics of multi-controller, Quick Control dial, and Main Dial ... easy learning curve to quickly navigate and change settings.There are so many features and settings to this camera that I have found to be easy to access, easy to use, easy to adjust - Canon did a spectacular job in design. I have not used the Movie Mode for recording video; just not my thing. But for still photography, I am so impressed with everything about this camera - it has made a huge difference in my results, everything from focussing and exposure accuracy to final image quality with the high megapixels. A book I would recommend highly to help anyone get acquainted with the operation and features of the 7D (very well illustrated and written) is the Canon EOS 7D Digital Field Guide by Charlotte Lowrie.

If you buy good lenses you can get great picture quality on your videos but be aware that you will never stop buying acessories if you're going to use it for video.It is not designed for video, so you'll need rails, cap, follow focus, and other supports.It is not as easy to operate as a video camera. If you do not like challenges, then buy a Sony EX1.If you want deep of field go for Canon 7D and low f/stop lenses. Picture quality is great with the right lenses!So far, so good!

The Canon 7d is an wonderful camera for advanced amateur photographers. I've owned it for 8 months and am amazed by it's quality.PROS:19 point AF system amazingly fast and accurate8/fps more than enough for all my needsShoots full 1080p videoAwesome metering and ISO qualityEasy to navigate menus and options / one touch switch between jped and rawGreat battery lifeCONS:Weight - It can get a bit heavy to carry around all day. I would suggest investing in a backpack or sling bad if you are going to carry around extra equipment.The standard 28-135 lens that comes with the kit is an inexpensive walk around lens. It can produce some quality images, but I would highly recommend upgrading to to something in the L series. I great lens can help you utilize all that the 7D has to offer.In my opinion it's the best crop sensor camera available.

I've been shooting for a few years with the 5D, and love the quality of the images, but have been recently shooting more sports, and my 5D's AF performance, and FPS are too slow, so recently purchased the 7D for this purpose, and I have to say that you not only get the fast performance, but very good IQ as well.Next back will be in the Spring time next year, when the 5D lll comes out .No matter what body you shoot with, spend the extra on best glass (lenses), because your best images begin there.The bodies will always change every other year or so, but good, pro grade glass lasts for decades.If you are new to DSLR shooting, this camera is probably not the one for you. Try out any of the Rebels, as they are easier to learn to use, but if you are upgrading from a Rebel or any of the XoD bodies, you will love the features, and appreciate all the features for the price with this one.Happy shooting !
