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
As soon as you pick it up, it’s clear that the Canon EOS 7D means business. It’s big, heavy, sturdy and packed with dials and buttons. For the well-versed in DSLR photography, the Canon EOS 7D is a dream to use. While Nikon and Sony’s us...
It’s certainly not a camera for the DSLR beginner, as the amount of manual options on offer will only serve to confuse. There is a fully auto mode, naturally, but why spend £1,250 on a DSLR and treat it like a point and shoot? We'd also hav...
We could go on forever about the Canon EOS 7D’s features and versatility, but suffice to say: if you’re looking for a top class all-round performer and aren’t too concerned with going full-frame, this is currently the best body around.Ca...
Versatile, sturdy, powerful and takes top class stills and video
Not full frame
A truly superb prosumer DSLR that offers a huge amount of features...

You can think of the 7D as a GTi version of the 50D – or a small-sensored high-speed alternative to the EOS 5D Mark II. But to look for family resemblances is perhaps to miss the point. Sure, as you would expect, there are plenty of familiar EOS featur...
Hard-as-nails build quality; ergonomic design; impressive 8-frames-per-second shooting; records 1080p movies; good high-ISO performance
Mediocre detail from kit lens and JPEG processing; occasional exposure howlers
The Canon EOS 7D offers awesome continuous-shooting speeds, an excellent HD movie mode with full manual controls, class-leading resolution, excellent high-ISO performance, and an all-metal, weather-sealed body. It's got a couple of glitches, but it's ...
We love the feel of the Canon EOS 7D — even its relatively heavy weight — and we think it's an easy camera to use, even if you're not used to Canon's D-SLR control schemes. It was able to capture some stunning images, especially in...

Looks pricey, purple fringing on some high contrast shots with 18-135mm kit lens
An accomplished and well-equipped semi-professional camera with professional build and specification that’s capable of stunning results and at high resolution too. It looks expensive, but as a step down from canon EOS 1D Mk III, it makes a lot of se...
