I'm an old film camera guy and have wanted to switch to the convenience of digital for quite some time now. However, I either couldn't find a digital camera that offered the capabilities or output quality of my old A-1 or F-2, or I couldn't afford the few digitals that would. I finally saved enough of my pennies to buy a 7D. The camera is phenominal. The image quality is great at all speeds and ISO ranges. It's a little on the pricey side, but just remember, you get what you pay for, and in the long run this camera delivers.
I only gave it a 4 on "ease of use." That is because it has so many options it's nearly impossible to remember them all - but not necessarily because it's hard to use (more buttons than an F-15 cockpit!). I've only had the camera for a month so I'm still learning its capabilities, and it's taught me something new every time I've taken it out for a spin. It gives me options/tools I never had before that will enable me to become a better photographer.
Bottom line is it's a great camera. The kit lens that came with it is pretty good, but I would certainly recommend buying better optics if you're a pro or serious amatuer (e.g. Canon's L series).
It is neither a beginner's camera nor a camera for the timid photographer. If you're a photographer who is serious about his/her work (whether pro or advanced amatuer, or a mid-level looking to be challanged and take your photography to the next step), then give the 7D serious consideration.
What's great about it: Great quality pics at a wide range of ISO settings/light conditions.
What's not so great: Wish the price was a little lower, but isn't that true of everything?
I would recommend this to a friend!
