Like magic.

Bought in 2014, no trouble ever. With light enhancement still shot features this camera can see around corners. Have not yet explored all features, still finding more it can do. Really pretty nice audio with video operation as well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fast, but sloppy.

This is a nice camera. Granted, it is 2018 and it has terrible low-light performance compared to many SLRs now, so I will review it as if this was recently after purchasing it:
This camera is quite quick, and has a good selection of AF points and AF point control. The packed 18MP crop sensor is great for macro photography if getting as close as you want simply isn't an option, and is also great for well-lit wildlife photography. For the price it has a good burst speed rate too.
This camera really lacks in low light performance and struggles to focus properly... it tends to back-focus and front-focus as if struggling to really see the main subject. Don't push it passed ISO 1600 or you'll be disappointed most likely.
I'd recommend it as a backup, which is what I bought this for, but not as a main unit. This would be a great starter camera for a serious enthusiast, as it is better than the Rebel lineup.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love this camera

I just recently got this camera and love it, i own the rebel t7i and while it is also a great camera this just takes it over the notch on professional. It was previously owned and the camera is still taking clear crisp photos. While at times it does not focus properly on the subject at hand and i have to readjust a setting or position it still has me in awe with its outcome. I love this camera and hope to use it for many years!

Canon EOS 70D becomes a paperweight

Three years and very limited use of the CanonEOS 70D the motherboard fried. This is a known problem that Canon is aware of but will not fix without the consumer paying for it

Best Camera I ever owned.

I bought this camera about 5 years ago. I used it for sports photography. The life span is 150,000 shutter actuations. I'm proud to say that my old work horse lasted 553,000 plus actuations. Today I retire her. I replaced her with a 7D Mark II. I hope the second generation is as good as the first.

Excellent jump into the world of DSLR

I was blessed enough to purchase my 7D from a profession who had used it for several years and upgraded, giving me this camera, as well as many accessories, for a fraction of retail. I couldn't be happier!
I've learned so much in a very short period of time, because I'm constantly using my camera. The picture quality is excellent, and I've only begun. I'm looking forward to many years of shooting with camera.

Solid rig

I have had my 7D for 3 years now and have not had any issues that I have read on the 1-star ratings. I have two EF lenses and one EF-s lense. The 7D works well with them all. I have owned Canon since the 1980's and the 7D matches up with all of them. I normally shoot in Manual and Aperture Priority and constantly get quality images. I make sure that the firmware is up to date ensuring lack of issues. My next unit will be the 6D MkII next year and that is only due to Full Frame sensor availability.
