I got this camera as an upgrade from my old Rebel Xs at the boxing day sale online. I had gotten pretty comfortable with my old Rebel but wanted a more "semi-pro" camera. Wasn't sure whether to go full frame or not. I decided to go with the 7D and stay with APS-C for now. A few reasons.

I am a novice but keen SLR user, this being my second SLR after a 600D. I have had help how best to navigate the controls and I have got some fantastic results. I like taking photos showing "as it is" - and I am extremely pleased so far.

a good camera but too technological and gets in the way of taking pictures

good IQ at low iso; solid camera; video

high iso quality; complicated AF

The d800 is topping the charts with megapixel counts but the 7d (and in fact all of canon's current crop sensor cameras) are sporting a higher resolution, or 'pixels per inch' because 36mp full frame cropped down to a aps-c actually has a higher pixel density- this provides tremendous detail at low...

I agonized over purchasing either the 7d or 5d markii for a long time. I eventually chose the 7d to replace my 1d markii and xsi. For one thing, I could keep my Canon 17-55mm f2.8 and I don't have to purchase something wider than my 50mm f1.4. I still have 8 frames per second.

"An excellent camera for both beginners and professionals."

I have a 7D and really love it. It is a sturdy entry level camera for serious photo enthusiasts. So glad QVC has stepped up their Canon line of cameras and "luxury lens.

I originally bought this camera for stills, but I eventually moved into film and now I use this camera 90% for filming. This camera has never failed me, battery life is great when taking photos. Only complaints I have would be that noise past 3200 makes the image unusable.

good battery life; quiet; Quick Start-up time; excellent image quality; Superior build quality; Bright LCD; Solid Operation; easy to use

noisy

I bought the Canon 7D with the 18-135mm lens and it is simply the best camera i've ever had. I take surfing photos and with the 8fps I dont miss a thing. I've also got the 70-300 is usm lens to get a little closer. The full auto mode is great but it's fun creating your own in manual mode.

Canon EOS 7D Breaks Record, the 7D was chosen for the world's largest photo, a view of London from the BT Tower in incredible detail. It feels so good to know that your camera has been chosen to take the largest photo in the world; it is a great feeling of intense accomplishment.
