Canon EOS 7D 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera user reviews

    "I upgraded from the 40D which I also love, but this blows it away. I love the level, no more crooked landscapes. I like that this has water resistant body since I like birds, landscape and wildlife. It\'s a little bigger than the 40D. I love the new AF system and the ability to customize button to your liking. A great camera. "

    "Autofocus choices are various but yet accuracy has a way to go even when using center point autofocus. With my previous Canons, I had an 80% rate of autofocus failures for flying birds. With my 7D the autofocus failure rate has been reduced to about 60%. Image quality quite superior to that of the 40D and the 50D at ISO 400. The 8 frames speed is great. The menu is easy to use and allows for lots of choices, yet, no single push button for mirror lock-up and autofocus point selection now requires to push two buttons rather than one in the previous cameras. A smart choice for nature photography due to its 1.6X sensor, weight and size. "

    "Everything has been said about this camera. I bought the 50d when it first came out and thought it was a winner. But when the 5d hit the street I was sad at the features that could have been in the 50d. So I upgraded to the 7d when it hit. What a upgrade. You can\'t really compare the 2 cameras directly because they aim at different photographers. But the 7d was what I was hoping for in the 50d and now I have it. It was worth it!!. Read the other reviews then you\'ll know. I kept the 50d because it serves as a portrait and backup camera with wide lenses. "

    "Overall, a very well designed and manufactured precision photographic instrument that meets the needs of advanced amateurs and semi-pros (maybe even a great backup for pros.) You can\'t beat the new autofocus settings, speed, low-light capabilities, 3\" high quality LCD, 100% viewfinder w/ all your essential info available at this mid-range pricepoint. After several long days of testing, I am quite satisfied with my decision. Canon has shown again that they can introduce a high quality cutting edge product at an \"affordable\" price that Nikon and the rest can\'t match currently. Best value for the money. Add a few L lenses and you\'ll be set for pretty much the next 5 years or more. On the downside, it is not full frame (you\'ll have to pay a lot for that), the camera strap is so-so, and the camera is hefty - easy to hold for most of the day due to great hand ergonomic design, but probably not something you\'ll shoot with one hand for more than a few minutes at a time.

    "I recently upgraded from the Canon 40D to the new 7D. I love love love this camera! The focus is fast and colors are true. Good IQ, improved live view, wireless flash support is all greatness! If I had to write a negative thing, I\'d say is the learning curve. Not much mind you. If you\'re used to the EOS cameras then you\'ll want to read the manual as some things have changed and you\'ll get frustrated trying to figure it out on your own. If you\'re new to the EOS systems, then you\'re in for a real treat but do yourself a favor and read the manual. This body is a bit heavier than the 40D but the build quality and feel makes up for it. When you hold it, you know you\'re holding a solid camera and gives you a sense of confidence. I\'d recommend this camera to my friends and family. "
