This camera is ultra responsive with seemingly no time lag between imagining the picture and having it saved on the CF card. The 8fps burst speed is ideal for capturing fast-moving subjects. Auto focus and auto exposure are almost always spot on. The ...

Only having three-frame auto bracketing is poor. Nikon brackets nine and Pentax seven
Which is ideal for creating high-dynamic range sets. The low-light auto-focus-assist lamp is still the dreadful pulse-flash method. ...
Only having three frame auto bracketing is poor. Nikon brackets nine and Pentax seven – which is ideal for creating high dynamic range sets. The low light auto-focus assist lamp is still the dreadful pulse flash method.
Focusing wasn’t always accurate
Could use more accessible focus controls
Hard on memory cards
Unimpressive kit lens
AF system still feels a little cumbersome at times
Solid build and weatherproofing with prostyle feel in hand. Frame rate is sportshooter ready. Wireless control of external Speedlite flashes. 8 frames per second in RAW makes us swoon.
Noisy popup flash motor. Quickcontrol dial on the back of the camera takes more effort to turn than previous Canon models. Auto white balance in artificial light is bronzemedal worthy at best.
Compatible with huge assortment of Canon EF and EFS lenses, Good lowlight performance, Great manual control

The 7D brings to the table some of the best video from a DSLR we have seen to date. It has the benefits of shooting video with 35mm lenses, without the lighting drawbacks of a 35mm adapter on a traditional camcorder. It has a good feel, and excellent ...
We've waited quite a while for the release of a digital EOS 3 and the new EOS 7D comes darn close here - it's a true professional grade DSLR based on an APS-C sensor. The build quality of the camera is superb thanks to a metal construction with ad...
Shoots 18MP images at eight frames per second. Responsive autofocus. Pop-up flash. Large controls. Built-in Speedlite transmitter.
LCD doesn't swivel. Fuzziness at high ISOs.
Canon's latest DSLR is well made, intuitive to use, high-performing, and capable of stunning results, even at high ISO settings. It's a clever concoction of pro specs at semi-pro pricing.Canon EOS 7D...
Fast burst mode; solid body; versatile focusing modes; very good high ISO performance.
Focusing not always accurate; could use more accessible focus controls.
We love the feel of the EOS 7D, and despite its power it’s an easy camera to use, even if you’re not used to Canon’s digital SLR control schemes. The EOS 7D was able to capture some great images, especially in dim lighting with a high IS...
Canon's EOS 7D is a professional level dSLR that is positioned between the EOS 50D and EOS 5D Mark II. While this model is a capable camera for most any type of shooting, the 7D in my opinion was built more for speed; something sports shooters expect...
Excellent 18-megapixel sensor with impressively low noise and superb detail, Very good high ISO performance, especially for 18-megapixel subframe sensor, Rugged construction with magnesium body and weather sealing, Good ergonomics with highly customiza...
Switching to Live View mode is slow, No dedicated AF-assist lamp (flash is used), and AF-assist adjustment is buried in the Flash Settings menu, AF not as good in low light as 50D, AE not reliable in very low light, Slow record to display time, No inte...
With just about everything this photographer could want and more, the Canon 7D is an impressive digital SLR camera. Canon took a well-established camera design and added several key features that users overwhelmingly requested, raised the resolution an...
