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
The EOS 7D is a good step forward for Canon. In the recent past, many of the complaints about Canon’s prosumer models gravitated toward a general consensus that they were limited or crippled when compared to Nikon’s lineup.No more.The Canon 7D is a co...
Very good photo quality, with a good lens, Low noise levels through ISO 1600 in low light, and ISO 3200 in good light, Solid, well built body; perfect right hand grip makes it easy to hold, Beautiful 3inch LCD display with good outdoor visibility, Large o...
RAW images are sharper, have better dynamic range at high ISOs than JPEGs, Sluggish contrast detect AF in live view mode, Controls can be overwhelming at first, Histogram blocks a good portion of the live view
The EOS-7D is Canon's top-of-the-line APS-C digital SLR that fits between the EOS-50D and the full-frame EOS-5D Mark II. It offers superb photo quality, great build quality, super-fast continuous shooting, a nice LCD and optical viewfinder, Full HD mo...
Excellent still-image and HD-video quality. Fast performance. Various HD video recording options.
Pricey. Video recording is not as simple as a with a dedicated camcorder.
The Canon EOS 7D is one of the best midrange D-SLRs money can buy. But if you don't need comprehensive video recording features or ultra-high-resolution images, there are a handful of competing D-SLRs that produce comparable image quality for half the...
With an 18-megapixel resolution that rivals full-frame cameras, the Canon 7D provides a sophisticated prosumer still and video shooting experience at a reasonable price. Standout features include a speedy burst rate that approaches 8 shots per second...
Abstract: The Canon EOS 7D definitely has some impressive attributes for a video-capable DSLR. It can record Full HD video with either a 24p or 30p frame rate, it has a good set of manual controls that are easy to use, and it offered very good overall video perf...
Abstract: Anticipation for Canon’s EOS 7D was high, any way you look at it. Latest in a line of well-esteemed EOS cameras, it’s also one of the first prosumer DSLRs to place almost as much emphasis on recording high-definition video as it does capturing stills. ...
Good image quality, Great continuous shooting rate with JPEG files, 8 fps high speed shooting rate, HD video,
Cost, 72 dpi output of images,
With the introduction of the 7D, Canon has fit a camera neatly into both the resolution and cost gaps that had formerly existed in their DSLR lineup. Now there's a smooth progression of resolution from 10 megapixels to 21 at roughly 2 or 3 megapixel in...
umer digital SLR; great HD video versatility including a comprehensive range of frame rates; fast 8 fps still shooting with a fat buffer for extended bursts; comfy body with a rugged pro build; improved 19-point autofocus system.
High resolution CMOS sensor reduces pixel size to 4.3 microns resulting in noise at high ISOs; no built-in stereo microphone; somewhat complicated to use.
There's a lot to like on the Canon 7D so if it seems like I'm being hard on the camera for its overambitious pixel count, it's mostly because I'm holding it to a higher standard. For starters, the HD video capabilities of the 7D are the be...
