from Oklahoma City

If you are serious about your photography, this is a beautiful mid-range camera. The ability to create HD Video's is a definate plus! The high speed (8 shots per second) is great for sports and low light / high action photography.

What's great about it: Speed, ease of use, solid base

What's not so great: no software provided to edit videos, a good lens is expensive

I would recommend this to a friend!

I couldn't be happier!

This camera is a step up from the Canon XTi I'd used for several years.
I couldn't be happier with not only the quality of images, but the well designed button menus and screen references.

takes a bit of work to learn

Verified Purchase:Yes

Great camera for bird photography once you have mastered the auto focus settings. I have been using other canon slrs but it still took a week or so of experimentation to dial in the settings and to memorize the functions.

What's great about it: fast focus

What's not so great: needs lock on selection dial

Great camera for a non-pro photo enthusiast!

Verified Purchase:Yes

I had an EOS 30 and decided to take the plunge to a just under PRO level. I have had to recall everything I knew about film speed, lighting and exposure to achieve the 'best' pic. It has been a challenge, but I am excited about my results with the best Canon product ever.

My Best Buy number: 2117129643

What's great about it: Great resolution of pics for blow-ups and good recovery for 'speed' shots,

What's not so great: It is more complicated than a point and shoot auto SLR. It requires CF card.

Will Change Indie Film

on September 3, 2009

Posted by: esotericsean

from Buena Park, CA

I own a Canon 5D Mark II and due to hardware limitations, Canon couldn't provide 24p. Finally they've released the camera that every indie filmmaker dreams about. The world of D-SLR filmmaking has officially arrived.

True, it only has an APS-C sensor, but because of it's updated technology and dual-processors, the 7D can handle more data per second than the Mark II. This means even better image quality.

And if that weren't enough, it also features 60p at 1280x720, giving the option to do silky-smooth slow motion.

Finally, this is true 24p. That means no cadence. You pull the footage right off the camera, pre-render and start editing. No pulldown required.

More info:

What's great about it: 1920x1080 24p HD Video, Dual-Digic Processors

What's not so great: None

Great upgrade from XTI Rebel.

on April 6, 2012

Posted by: Billjh

from Staatsburg, NY

The Canon 7D great features are the 19 AF points, dual Digic processors, 8 fps burst and good environmental sealing. Shooting modes and menus clear & allows for multiple ways to make settings.

What's great about it: Takes fantastic pictures under normal & low light

What's not so great: Heavier then Rebel but managable

Love the camera, especially the burst mode feature

on July 11, 2012

Posted by: kvoman

from CA

Have done lots of research between the Canon 60D or the Canon 7D and also the Nikon D7000. The pic quality from the Nikon D7000 is slightly better than the 7D from various comparisons but decided the burst mode (8 fps) from the 7D is what I ultimately use the camera for (kids' sports). The Nikon D7000 has only 6 fps, comparable to the Canon 60D, but the 7D has 8 fps. I don't do any landscape photos in RAW format and rarely do low light so the higher ISO settings really didn't matter to me.

Settings are different from my old XTi so it's taken a little adjustments. More camera features so I guess there are more settings, etc. Settings not as intuitive at first but get easier as you're more familiar with them.

What's great about it: Burst mode and low light capability

What's not so great: Need really good lens to get the best out of the camera.

I would recommend this to a friend!
