A Whole New Class of EOS.
With a host of brand new features designed to enhance every facet of the photographic process, from still images to video, the new EOS 7D represents a whole new class of camera.
Made to be the tool of choice for serious photographers and semi-professionals, the EOS 7D features an all-new 18.0 Megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor and Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors, capturing tremendous images at up to ISO 12800 and speeds of up to 8 fps. The EOS 7D has a new all cross-type 19-point AF system with improved AI Servo AF subject tracking and user-selectable AF area selection modes for sharp focus no matter the situation. The EOS 7D's Intelligent Viewfinder, an entirely newly-designed technology, provides 100% coverage and displays user-selected AF modes as well as a spot metering circle and on demand grid lines. New iFCL Metering with 63-zone dual-layer metering system uses both focus and color information to provide accurate exposure even in difficult lighting. The EOS 7D also captures Full HD video at 30p (29.97 fps), 24p (23.976 fps) and 25p with an array of manual controls, including manual exposure during movie shooting and ISO speed selection. The EOS 7D features a magnesium alloy body that is dust- and weather-resistant and shutter durability of up to 150,000 cycles. Compatible with over 60 EF and EF-S lenses as well as with EOS System accessories, the creative opportunities - not just with stills but also with video - are beyond amazement.

 "Great camera for wildlife and birds in flight" 2010-02-25
By David C. Stephens (Colorado)
I own both the 7D and the 5D MkII. The 5D2 excells at high IQ and great high-ISO performance and the 7D excells at fast focus, bringing the subject closer and getting off bursts of images at high frame rates. Both are very fine all around cameras, but the 7D helps you by filling its viewfinder with a larger image, locking on focus quicker and allowing a much faster burst rate. I've been somewhat amazed at the 7D's perfomance at ISO 6400, but find it second to the 5D2 at ISOs of 1600 and 3200. Below ISO 800 the two perform very closely, but the difference is more noticeable in that 1600-3200 band. Hey, at least we're not talking about shooting birds in flight at ASA 50!



The build quality is at the tank level. I've had it out in rain and snow and temperatures as low as -15F. I really like that the 7D and 5D2 share the same battery, so by keeping a charged battery in each body and a spare, I'm never short of power. I often take 1000 images in a day with the 7D and always have plenty of reserves (I hardly ever use Live View). The control layout is slightly improved over the 5D2, with the video operation being much more intuitive.



I'd suggest that anyone having IQ trouble with the 7D make sure that they check their micro-focus adjustment and fine tune it to their particular lenses. There is quite a range of potential adjustment, which might explain the trouble that a few seem to be having. (Mine required no micor-adjustment).

 "Almost perfect camera" 2010-02-20
By Helen M. Dalton (Woodside, CA USA)
Alright, so I'm not going to go into great detail to why I love this camera. I'll keep it true and short.



My previous camera was the Canon XTi, I loved (and still do love) that camera. As soon as I turned on the LCD to my 7D I was in shock! It's so clear, and the colors from it are incredible. The 7D's LCD is beautiful! <3 It's also built like a tank. I feel secure when little kids ask me if they can take a picture with it now! XD I just tell them to make sure the wear the strap. ;) lol Battery life is WAY better. The 8 FPS is really useful. More useful than I had originally thought. (I do a lot of sports.) Video is great! The built in speaker is...okay, buy the Rode directional mic ($150 bucks,i think) If you'll be doing a lot of video, like me. Okay so now the ISO. It's better than the XTi that's for sure. But, one thing you should know about the this camera is it has a noise reduction feature built into the camera. So It's really not a problem. I take photos in ISO 1000-1600 regularly. You don't really notice the noise until you blowup the image to about 150% It's really not a problem. Just make sure you have the High ISO noise reduction feature enabled. And really, if the picture that you took is that bad that all you notice is the noise, you should really should try to hone your photography skills before buying this camera. The only thing I don't like about the camera is the 18mp. It's really too much on a little 1.6 crop factor camera. 10.mp is perfect for a DSLR. But that's really it. I will never print a picture that big. The biggest I've ever gotten is 8X10. And that's still kinda small.



Okay, that's my review. I suggest this camera to everyone that asks me what camera they should get. So buy it now!...no really, you'll be glad you did.

 "Does the 7D worth the extra $900 bucks compared with the 2010 Rebel T2i?" 2010-02-12
By K. Leon (DC, USA)
I really like my 7D and its pro-features but the 2010 Rebel T2i is giving me second thoughts Canon EOS Rebel T2i 18 MP CMOS APS-C Digital SLR Camera with 3.0-Inch LCD (Body Only)



Here's a comparison between the 7D and the Rebel T2i.



Both cameras have the SAME features sbelow uch as:



- 18.0 Megapixel CMOS sensor

- ISO 100-6400 (expandable to 12800)

- 63-zone, Dual-layer metering system

- Full HD movie capabilities



However the Rebel T2i OUTPERFORMS the 7D in few things:



- LCD monitor (1.04 million dots versus the 7D 0.92 million dots)

- Weight (18.7 oz./530g versus the 7D 28.9 oz./820g)



DOES ONE NEED TO PAY $900 BUCKS MORE FOR THESE 7D EXTRA-FEATURES?



- Built-in Speedlite Transmitter (useful if you shoot at a studio)

- Magnesium dust/weather-resistant body (the Rebel is steel body with less sealing)

- 19-point AF system versus 9-point in the Rebel (I have a 50D with the 9 AF system and it's hard to tell if the 10 extra AF points in the 7D make a difference)

- 100% viewfinder versus 95% in the Rebel

- 8 frames per second versus the Rebel 4 frames per second -the 7D has 2 image processors (unless you shoot sports you can't really see the value of this)

- Shutter durability. The 7D has 150,000 versus the Rebel 100,000. But how many shots would you take in a year? I take about 25,000 a year which is a lot. That means that I'd have shutter for about 4 years in the Rebel and 5 years in the 7D. The question then is how many years until this camera is dated? the Canon lifecycle is about 2 to 3 years. Indeed, the 50D was released on October 2008 and there is a new 60D expected for May 2010.



MMM... I'm not totally convinced that the 7D is worth the nine hundred extra bucks.



I'd have given four stars to the 7D -but because its value for the money I'm giving just two stars.

Does all what it says, absolutely great camera. Price tag is a bit high also considering the internal competition from the new 550d.

 "Totally Awesome" 2010-02-03
By J. GRISSOM (Billings, MT USA)
Love everything about it. The sheer volume of functions and capabilities is a little overwhelming at first but after spending some time with the camera and a good book about it, you'll be taking great pictures in no time. It makes great movies too! Just beware that the internal mic will record the sounds of the focus and zoom so you'll want to invest in an external mic. Also, the autofocus really doesn't work in movie mode but I haven't found using the manual focus in movie mode to be an issue. Buy it, you'll love it.

 "Love this Camera!" 2010-02-25
By S. Mills (Mountain House, CA)
I'm seriously just a beginner. So If you know a lot about a camera, this might not be the review for you. For me, as a beginner, this is an amazing camera. It's taken beautiful pictures. My only suggestion to someone buying this camera who doesnt know about camera, would be to buy a canon 50d book with it. The manual is a little hard to read. Now that I'm getting used to all the functions, I'm just ammazed at what it can do. I couldnt be more pleased with this purchase!

 "Excellent Overall" 2010-02-22
By L. Mindestrom (Minnesota)
I have been using my Canon 50D since August and I must say it is fantastic. It takes incredible pictures and is fairly easy to learn to use, considering it is an SLR. the lenses can be replaced with ease, and the camera itself is very sturdy and well-built. My one complaint would be that it is quite heavy, though this is to be expected with a camera of this type. I would highly recommend this camera to serious amateur photographers who are considering a high quality SLR with all the bells and whistles.

 "So glad I moved from 35mm to the Canon 50d" 2010-02-22
By Fritz (Michigan)
For years I had been shooting the Canon Elan IIe and was very happy with it. I never planned on going digital, I always felt like a photography purist by not doing a bunch of post production in Photoshop, but baby #3 came July 2009, film/development was getting out of hand, and I'm not quite good enough to get the perfect picture on the first shot so I gave in to the flexibility of digital photography. The 50d was an outstanding way to break into DSLR cameras. I love this camera, it's been nothing but a god send. Durable, reliable, tons of functions and customizations (half of which I haven't even figured out yet). Picture quality is excellent and the 28-135mm lens is highly versatile. There are many other in depth reviews out there regarding this camera so I am going to save us both some time and be brief. I just wanted to put my 2 cents in and say that this is a great camera that I have been very happy with. For comparison, I would consider myself a serious photography hobbyist.

 "50D as a Pro tool" 2010-02-21
By Digiphotoshop (USA, Texas)
A DSLR can provide a lot of benefits over a simple point and shoot camera. With a DSLR, you'll get faster shooting speeds, better optics (and therefore a better quality picture), the ability to change lenses for ultimate flexibility, complete control over image exposure, sharpness, other image quality settings and a lot more.



Like many products, there are entry-level DSLRs, professional-grade D-SLRs, and plenty of models in between. Canon's 50D blurs the line between amateur and professional D-SLR cameras. This camera strikes a good balance with its price and feature set. With the 50D, you get a lot of features you wouldn't find on entry-level models such as Superior burst speed 6.3fps, weather sealed body, All nine autofocus points on the 50D are of the cross type variety, while on the T1i / 500D, only the center one is, Maximum shutter speed of 1/8000s, White balance in Kelvin, The viewfinder in the 50D uses a pentaprism while a pentamirror is used for the viewfinder in the 500D. Pentaprism viewfinders give a brighter and larger image compared to pentamirror types. But you won't pay professional-grade prices. Users who are just making the jump to a DSLR, for example will appreciate the 50D's Live View mode, which lets you use the DSLR's LCD to frame an image, similar to the way you would frame an image using a point and shoot camera. For more advanced shooters, the 50D also has full manual controls to give you all the traditional adjustments in image staging for your photographs.
