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
Canon's new camera is aimed at pros and serious amateurs. The Canon EOS 7D camera defines a new category for Canon not quite fitting in any of the camera maker's existing lines of cameras.IntroductionAimed at the pro/semi pro professional, the Can...
I believe that my title said it all, the 7D is not a bad camera, but the 7D could have been WAY Better and Canon did not delivered all the promised they made when announcing the 7D. Granted the Photo aspect of this camera is what most of your will car...
Abstract: Canon's new EOS 7D isn't a replacement for any current EOS DSLR. It's a new "advanced APS-C" class camera, positioned between the current EOS 50D and EOS 5D MkII in terms of both price and features. Actually it has most of the features of the EOS 5D...
If you expect a huge difference in overall image quality between the EOS 40D, EOS 50D and EOS 7D, you’d probably be somewhat disappointed, but that’s not what the EOS 7D is really about. In terms of ergonomics and features, the 7D is clearly a...
Build quality, 8fps, viewfinder, focus speed, high ISO, image quality, video functions
Lots of menus, current high price, no second card slot
Changing a system that works so well can be a dangerous business, but Canon appears to have pulled it off with the 7D. The changes are subtle but generally help usability once you find the new positions. In the hand the 7D feels like a very solid and ...
Tough build and superb ergonomics, Zonable 19-point AF and 8fps burst shooting, Big viewfinder with graphics. VGA screen, Adjustable HD resolution and fps with mic input.
Basic 3-frame exposure bracketing, Single card slot versus dual on D300s, Flash flickers for AF illumination, Image quality surpassed by 5D Mark II.
Canon’s EOS 7D is a direct response to Nikon’s D300s. The company has taken a good long look at the areas where Nikon always had the edge over models like the EOS 40D and 50D, and addressed almost all of them here. No longer can Nikon claim a...
The Canon EOS 7D is a camera that excels in nearly every regard. From excellent build and handling, to beautiful high resolution images, the EOS 7D is perfectly suited for any enthusiast or semi-pro photographer. While Canon claims the EOS 7D isn’t int...
The Canon EOS 7D is an incredibly versatile camera. Its rich feature set make it one of the most complete DSLRs available. Given its high-resolution sensor, wide range of ISO sensitivities, high-speed continuous drive, there is no subject too difficul...
Abstract: News that Canon would be making a direct competitor to Nikon’s APS-C workhorse, the D300s ($1,600, street, body only) made many Canonites optimistic. Optimism became excitement with the unveiling of the EOS 7D ($1,700 street, body only; $1,900 with 28–...
The 7D’s highISO performance is hardly bad, and compared to the 5D MKII it’s £200 cheaper, offers twice the maximum frame rate and a significantly more advanced autofocus system, The 1.6x crop factor of the 7D’s smaller sensor is a...
The excellent Nikon D300S looms large over the 7D. It’s nearly £400 cheaper than the 7D, and matches it in virtually every way. The Nikon’s build quality is superlative, its continuous mode performance is just about the same, and usabilit...
The obvious decision for anyone looking to buy a Canon is whether to go for the 7D or splash out on the 5D MKII. With the 5D MKII costing only a little more than £200 extra, it’s not an easy choice. For the most fine-grained image quality, and...
