Canon 7D wows Nikon guy

As a longtime Nikon user [going back to the film days during which I tried many different brands with the exception of Canon and ultimately settled on Nikon] the Canon 7D really impressed from the first shot - exposure, sharpness, colors, handling.
This is a serious camera with great flexibility. It could easily overpower the abilities of the user not up to the challenge; this is not to knock any buyer's skills but, rather, a warning that if you're expecting point-and-shoot ease of use, you might be disappointed.
My only "complaint" - 28mm is a silly length for a crop-sensor kit lens - not wide at all - but I knew this going in. The bonus here is that the kit lens works great with my EOS 1N [film is NOT dead].
I'm very happy with my 7D and the price at Best Buy was excellent! Plus triple reward zone points! What's not to love?
What's great about it: Handling, speed, flexibility of settings, 3 user-setting banks
I would recommend this to a friend!

After 1 year of intense research, the Canon EOS 7D is a must have. Excellent exposure in Aperture-Priority Mode and other user controlled exposure modes. Less noisy at high ISO. Battery fully charges in less than 2 hours and last about 6 hours with continous shooting. Great at high ISO. Produces razer cut images at fast shutter speed. Less editing required captures detail in color. Not as heavy as I expected. Easy to learn and operate.8 frames per second. AF works perfect on continous shooting. It's costly but worth the bucks. Added images that show detailed settings and results..
What's great about it: Great exposure both in Aperture -Priority Mode and Shutter-Priority Mode. Manual Exposure works perfect with MF.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is my first Canon DSLR camera, coming from a Sony and Nikon background. I decided to get the 7D rather than the 60D or the 5D. I'm not a professional photographer, but an advanced beginner.
I found the features of the 7D to be plentiful, easy to setup and use and they just work.
Overall, I would recommend this camera if you have a few hundred bucks to spend over the 60D, but can't afford the 5D. A great overall camera!
What's great about it: Solid body, good lens and features
What's not so great: China-built materials for lens.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased the 7D as a second camera for my growing business. I also shoot a 5D and was very pleased at the ease to understand the menus (slight differences). They are intuitive and easy to select the perfect settings for the shot. I am a true Canon believer.
What's not so great: Still don't understand the need for HD recording on a camera.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm a photography student and I absolutely love this camera. It didn't take too long to get used to (I upgraded from the Digital Rebel XT) and the picture quality is great. The body has a nice rugged feel, and as far as kit lenses go the 28-135mm IS lens is a great starter lens.
10 fps, cross-type AF sensor, 19 AF points are just a few of this camera's stand-out specs--Canon sure loaded this one up.

The 7D is a great camera with terrific flexibility in AF modes for sports photography. There are also some good online videos at Canon on configuring custom functions. I bought the package at Best Buy with the 28-135 lens. The package doesn't come with a camera body cap or a rear lens cap. I would have expected those to have been included.
What's great about it: Flexibility in AF modes.
What's not so great: Incomplete package

I won't bother writing a review based on all the specs that are listed on the website, if you are reading this, you probably have all of the specs memorized by now.
This camera is the real deal, I purchased this the day it came out. I have owned 3 other EOS bodies, and this one tops them all.
What I find especially great about this camera is something you wont find listed in the specs, and that is the way if feels in your hand. It feels almost connected to your hand when you grab the camera. The grip was designed perfect for the average sized hand. The camera itself feels solid, like the entire camera was forged from one piece of material.
I have mastered each of the EOS bodies I have owned, and after having this camera for the first few days, I realized that knowing the other cameras so well does absolutely nothing for this camera. It is a beast of its own, and requires much studying to start to understand the power this camera has to offer.
After my first week with the camera, I started to understand the metering and new focusing system, and I will tell you this, once you understand these two components of this camera, you will find yourself taking pictures you never thought possible.
All in all, pound for pound, penny for pixel... This camera is the best in its price range, and is the third best camera Canon makes, outside of the 1D & 5D.
Go for it...
What's great about it: Just about everything...
What's not so great: Pretty much nothing...
I would recommend this to a friend!

A 7D kit is a box of versatility

The 7D body I purchased at Best Buy came with firmware version 1.2.5. Version 2.0 of the firmware was a major update and currently my 7D runs version 2.0.3.
I’m still getting to know this remarkable yet quirky camera. Right off I will say it’s a camera for photographers who shoot RAW or don’t mind learning the advantages of working with Canon’s RAW format. The biggest challenge is getting the most out of 18 megapixels packed into a 1.6x crop sensor. Noise will be an issue but it’s controllable after getting to know the camera. And with noise comes sharpness issues that are best controlled by using the best lenses possible. I have a 20+ year-old EF 50mm f/1.8 prime lens that helps prove that kit zooms aren’t the best way to judge a camera’s IQ.
The EF 28-135mm USM IS kit lens is nice for the price. I chose it over the EF 18-135mm IS bundled with an alternate 7D kit. I like the USM for its quickness, versatility, and decent images. It’s also nice when using manual focus for videos.
The camera is built like a tank, feels snug held in one hand, and at eye level a 100 percent viewfinder is always a good thing. The body itself is light. Attached to the 28-135mm USM IS lens bulks it up a lot. It feels right to me when a prime 50mm is attached — or the plastic EF-S 18-55mm kit lens that came with one of my Rebels.
This is the fastest digital camera I have ever used. Responsive in every way. The camera has two processors , wicked-fast internal buffering, and a burst shooting rate that tripled after updating the firmware.
Although a card reader is more practical, copying files off the camera over USB is faster than I was expecting without being a big drain on the battery.
The Quick Menu button, Info screen, and Multi-controller all work nicely together. Another slick button for avoiding menu digging is the RAW+JPEG button.
Battery life is excellent and charging time is relatively short. Nicely printed manuals in the box that are kept updated online.
And don’t forget the 7D’s internal flash. Not a giant leap in light production but at least a short range flash at-the-ready. Inside the camera’s menus are controls for every type of flash setup connecting to the camera’s hot shoe or sync outlet.
After updating the firmware you’ll need to visit Canon’s support site and update EOS Utility and the other Canon apps. A revised camera manual is also available in PDF format.
What's great about it: Operational speed
What's not so great: Best when used with expensive L lenses or primes
