I began school in Boston for photography and at the time the 7D was the 'new guy on the block' - a step down from th 5D Mark II everyone was raving about without the price so decided to give it a try. Instantly I became inseperable from it. Amazing handheld capabilities, intense sharp quality even with a mediocre lens. I captured crystal clear photos of the Blue Angels performing while on a boat while simply point and clicking - no tripod or anything. Tons of options but very simple (once you get the hand of it). Unfortunately I had to sell it and I have been yearning for it back ever since. I'm not sure what other Canon cameras can camera but I am definitely sold every time on this fellah.
Pros: good battery life, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Solid Operation, Simple controls/menu
Cons: Heavy/Bulky, flip lcd screens always make everything easier

7D: Astonishing performer!
on November 3, 2012
Posted by: Flying Scotsman
from Lake Norman, NC
Upgrading from a 50D, I immediately found the incredible 7D to be a FAR more sophisticated, technologically advanced "animal". Must say, it's not something I'd suggest to even an "advanced amateur" to consider unless that next level of dedication to "photography / creating images" is within reach - as this digital camera body is a jump beyond someone used to simply "taking pictures". It's a bit of a heavyish chunk to hold and use but the professional-quality of construction and weather-proofing is worth it. Quite a learning curve to fine-tune the image quality settings - really experiencing what the 7D is capable of! - and the images are jaw-dropping! Needs a sturdy tripod and "fed" Canon 'L' lenses and you'll receive the image quality you desire. A side-by-side shoot-out with the fine 50D and the 7D dramatically exceeded my wildest expectations!
Pros: good battery life, Nice features/settings, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation
Cons: Heavy/Bulky

Great Camera
on October 31, 2012
Posted by: NewfyDad
from Mt. Vernon, Maine
I researched this camera for about 4 months before finally purchasing it. I was at first getting it for photographing high school hockey games as a friend had one and was having excellent luck with it. I also purchased the EF 70-200 2.8f IS USM lens at the same time. and have found it also useful for night and day high school football games as well as dog shows and especially drag races. I'm not a professional , but have been using 35mm since mid 70's and have had the 7d for over 2 years now and have taken over 30,000 pics with it. I'm still learning how to use it and still have a lot to learn, but its a great camera to learn on. I've since purchased a 2X wxtender for it and that works very well for outdoor activities during daylight hours. I did have to send it off for repair once because a pin got bent some how where the SD card goes in. I wish you could look through view finder when videoing I find it hard to follow action while trying to look at the monitor. Other than that its a great camera...couldn't imagine why any one would want more. Its a bit heavy when loaded with lens, but most cameras are.
Pros: quiet, Quick Start-up time, easy to use, good battery life, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, Simple controls/menu

What a nice camera
on October 26, 2012
Posted by: Alamo
from San Antonio TX
Up graded from xsi, took some getting used to the menu, and controls in different locations but after taking couple of weeks shooting with the camera and getting the settings to my liking ,I am really enjoying the outcome of my photos. I don't like to use a lot of post processing so I rely on the camera to take quality images. I'm impressed with low light images and my night time city scapes are vastly improved due to the cameras ability to handle dark scenes with low noise. I have seen other reviews that say low light performance is not good but I think it may be a setting problem, once I got this camera dialed in and understood its metering system ( much reading) I get very quality images. Very happy with purchase and camera performance.
Pros: good battery life, quiet, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Solid Operation
Cons: Heavy/Bulky

Canon 7D - ERR20 problem
on October 26, 2012
Posted by: Mohandass
from chennai
The camera features are good and worked fine but failed on a lifetime trip to the himalayas where I carried about 12kgs of deadweight with lenses. ERR20 which seems to be a mechanical defect with the shutter assembly quality. After browsing the net i found there are a lot of photographers complaining on this issue. But i am worried if canon would look into this issue at all.
Pros: excellent image quality
Cons: Shaky operation, Poor build quality, Slow Start-up time
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Worth It!
on October 13, 2012
Posted by: Matt
from New York, NY
I have recently bought this camera as an addition to my 5D Mark III. I love it! Even though it is not full frame, it still gives tack sharp images and professional quality photos. I use the 7D for mostly wildlife photography because it has a high FPS of 8 pictures per second. I also bought this camera because it is reasonably priced. It wasn't too expensive yet it still was up to my par. If you are a wild life photographer then you definitely want this camera because it is extremely weather sealed. I strongly recommend this camera for people who don't want to spend a "full frame price" but still want to get close to "full frame images".
Pros: good battery life, Nice features/settings, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Solid Operation, Simple controls/menu, easy to use, pop up flash
Cons: Dim LCD, noisy
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've been impressed with the EOS-7D since buying it, but it wasn't until I started attending a photographer's class (adult ed) that I realized just how much camera my money had bought me. Canon has provided tremendous value in this extraordinary camera.
Pros: good battery life, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
