Great 2nd Hand present

This camera was given to me while working in the Philippines. My sister-in-law had just been given a very nice present of a 7D Mark II and decided that I needed an upgrade from my Rebel XTi. I was blown away by the clarity differences between my old to new camera.
Had the EOS 7D for 4 years and loved it. The camera met and exceeded all of my expectations on every level. In studio or in the field this camera hits the mark. I recently went to Washington DC to shoot architecture and fell in love with the camera all over again. Decided to shoot everything in live view and every shot was perfect.
Unfortunately, my camera and all of my lenses were recently stolen so I am starting over. My awesome wife got me started again by suprising me with a new EOS 6D. Starting a new chapter now but I will always miss my first Canon. If you are thinking about this camera don't hesitate on the purchase. The pros outweigh the cons 10 fold.
Worked great for about 3 months, then it started. Soft focus with every lens. Focus jumps around. Gets confused when there are more than one item n the focus point. Battery life is less than other brands. Slows as molasses in January. Truthfully I won't ever buy another canon product.
For the past 5 years i had become interested in canon's cameras, I have been a long time user of another popular name brand, But when i saw this camera with the 28-135 kit lens for $$ I jumped on it and have not regreted it. I paired it up with a 35mm f/1.8 IS USM and 85mm f/1.8 Prime Lens and the pictures are fantastic, If this camera is still available get it ASAP, not bad in low light with good glass.
A great step up from my Canon T1i. Many more featured and a quality build. The video included with the camera "Introduction to the Canon EOS 7D" by Blue Crane Digital was a great help to master all the cameras functions and improve my skill.
My new Canon 70D is amazing! I jumped from the 20D to the 70D and I'm so happy I did. The new camera is so intuitive to use. Very easy to navigate the menu and the dials. Intelligent Scene Auto is spot on. I have had trouble taking photographs inside my home – they would always be yellow or orange. Now they are true to color. The added focal points were a big factor in my decision to upgrade to the 70 D.
I've been using my 7D for about 1 1/2 years now, and love it. My preferred shooting is fast action sports (i.e. Motocross, Hockey), & portraits. I have 2 cameras but use the 7D pretty much exclusively anymore.. Thanks Canon for giving us a product that finally outworks the price..
Canon does not disappoint! Packed with features that make capturing the shot intuitive! Customizable to every shooting style! Image quality that moves the viewers... If you are not using canon products.. Do yourself a favor ... Try them .. You will never look back!
