The Canon 7D is a professional-caliber camera at a pricepoint that is well below what you would expect. When I began researching this camera, I kept wondering what the catch was. How could a camera with this resolution and feature set come with HD video, at this price? Having now played with it for a few weeks, I can tell you that it's exactly as advertised. The features are all here, it works great, and yes, the price is for real... it's at least a thousand dollars less than you would expect.
On the downside, as of today, the drivers to open the pictures directly in Photoshop, have not been released yet. There's a workaround but the camera raw driver is still coming. My other complaint is that the camera is heavy. I put a big heavy lens on it which doesn't help of course, but the camera is big and bulky. If you are looking for a great vacation camera, this probably isn't it. On the other hand, if you are looking to upgrade your photography and take pictures that are pro quality, then this is the bargain of the century.
I'm thrilled with this camera.
What's great about it: Outstanding camera for the price
What's not so great: Drivers are not up-to-date - Camera is heavy
