Canon's new 7D looks to bridge the gap between the incredible but expensive 5D Mark II and very capable stills camera the 50D. At $3499, the 7D is midway in price between these two excellent cameras. Does it perform well enough to carve out its own niche?

This product is world class with extra ordinary features it is possessing and best priced for the features it has. I love this product for its excellent performance.

I use this for taking HDRI images for use in 3D renders.. the 8fps is great for that. I also use it with a macro lens to shot stop motion with Dragon Stopmotion and the Live mode allows me to use the 7D as I would a high end Video cam, but with way more lens possibilities.

Good Image Quality; Quiet; Easy To Use

With the introduction of the 7D, Canon has fit a camera neatly into both the resolution and cost gaps that had formerly existed in their DSLR lineup. Now there's a smooth progression of resolution from 10 megapixels to 21 at roughly 2 or 3 megapixel increments, and a $1700 camera to fill the gap...

The Canon EOS 7D digital SLR is designed for users who want fast shooting performance. That means sports photographers, nature photographers, and basically anyone who needs to freeze-frame a fast-moving subject.

Many photographers were a tad confused about the positioning of Canon's new 7D when it was announced to the market. Seemingly, it was considered to be an upgrade to the existing 50D range of camera, but what Canon have, actually, done is given the semi-pro market, and even some pro photographers a...

Overall, the Canon 7D should be considered, pound for pound and value for money, one of the best DSLR's on the market. Combining such a high-resolution with a frame-rate action photographers would die for, all without compromising its low-light performance, to any noticeable degree, is a major...

Canon has long enjoyed incredible success in the enthusiast/semi-pro sector but in the last couple of years Nikon, with its D300 in particular, has become the brand of choice for many.

At Rs. 85,000 the 7D is an attractive option for those looking for a high performance dSLR camera. Image quality is top notch, and if you want better, you need to look at a full frame. Noise is very well controlled for a crop sensor and the 7D is exceptionally sturdy.

Very solidly built and nicely weather sealed; Very ergonomically positioned buttons and dials that are highly configurable; Highly intuitive interface and lots of customisable options; Fast; reliable AF system; Capable of excellent quality results across the board; and in a variety of shooting...

ISO 6400 performance will not satisfy those used to full frames; Metering has issues with incandescent lighting; especially yellow lighting; though all dSLRs goof up here; and the 7D is better than many; Loss in finer detail and smearing of textures when shooting red subjects; particularly darker...

8fps pictures, 1080p HD video and interchangeable lenses make great features. Magnesium alloy casing is weatherproof and heavy, so it feels safe in your hand. Bad Points: The menus are a bit fiddly, this is the first time in a very long while I have read a manual!

18 MP sensor gives fantastic quality to your pictures; easy to blow up on posters and canvas
