Pros:
  • Build
  • image quality
  • viewfinder
  • performance and speed
  • AF
  • flash control
  • HD video
  • ergonomics
  • LCD
Cons:
  • Looks pricey

Canon EOS 7D review Review

The pro-orientated, 18-megapixel EOS 7D digital SLR has a couple of minor flaws, but they're far outweighed by all the positives. Offering tank-like build quality, class-leading resolution, excellent high-ISO performance and brilliant continuous-shooting speeds, it's a fantastic camera
Pros:
  • Hard-as-nails build quality
  • Ergonomic design
  • Impressive 8-frames-per-second shooting
  • Records 1080p movies
  • Good high-ISO performance
Cons:
  • Mediocre detail from kit lens and JPEG processing
  • Occasional exposure howlers

The big difference between the 5D MKII and the 7D is inside. The 5D MKII is the cheapest of Canon's line-up to offer a full-frame sensor – the 7D has approximately the same size image sensor as cameras such as the 600D, Nikon D5100 or Sony Alpha 77
