The Canon 7D is currently the most advanced, non 1D crop body currently produced by Canon - even though it's going on three years old. There are lots of things that make this body stand out compared to the other crop (APS-C 1.6x) factor bodies.

High FPS (8); Quality Auto Focus System and Metering System; strong magnesium build; 1080p video

Aging technology (getting due for a refresh); retail price still slightly high

I thought it would be a complicated camera to learn just because it was higher end than a point and shoot camera. Turns out it is very easy to learn. You can start out using the automatic settings, which produce some beautiful shots without knowing anything.

Ease of use; Tutorial mode.Covinient!quit NICE

The grip on the right for holding the camera could be more comfortable

My review is different than others, I am not pro. I just bought both cameras and shoot pictures to see the difference. I personally like T3i, T3i is way lighter weight than 7D, same MP, same sensor, same quality of the photos, same video, but 7D is bit faster, better sink speed, than T3i.

The camera was set at 250 ISO, set to "Program", had a genuine external Canon flash, auto focus, and set to the largest file size. out of 65 portraits none of the pictures were sharp, some were quite blurry. Most the pictures were noisy. The colours were average at best, the exposure was OK.

The Canon EOS 7D is a new advanced cropped-sensor DSLR with a very rich feature set starting with an 18 MP sensor with ISO sensitivity range up to 12,800 and high-speed continuous drive up to 8 FPS and including many advanced features such as a 100% coverage viewfinder, a digital level,...

Very low image noise; Excellent sharpness; ISO range entirely usable; up to 1600 for large prints; Super-fast autofocus speed and tacking; No shutter lag and great shot-to-shot speeds; Quick and responsive; Large 100% coverage viewfinder; 2-Axis digital level; Full choice of exposure modes for...

Frequent overexposure; Poor color accuracy; Poor white-balance; both auto and preset under artificial light; Slower than average instant review speed; Slow to power-off due to sensor cleaning; LCD too bright; Several interface oddities; see review page 2

The $1,699 (list, body only) 18-megapixel Canon EOS 7D takes beautiful pictures-in a wide variety of lighting situations. But the true lure of the Canon 7D is that it's the only sub-$2,000 D-SLR that offers a multitude of high-definition video-capture options.

Excellent still-image and HD-video quality; Fast performance; Various HD video recording options

Pricey; Video recording is not as simple as with a dedicated camcorder

Maybe you're tired of using a crappy point-and-shoot. Or, maybe you feel like you've outgrown your awesome, yet dated, PowerShot G9. Maybe you're just looking to strap up a full-featured DSLR. Canon's newest 7D is the way to go. There's no maybe about it.

Solid build and weatherproofing with pro-style feel in hand; Frame rate is sport-shooter ready; Wireless control of external Speedlite flashes; 8 frames per second in RAW makes us swoon

Noisy pop-up flash motor; Quick-control dial on the back of the camera takes more effort to turn than previous Canon models; Auto white balance in artificial light is bronze-medal worthy at best

well so far its been a good camera for my needs, i enjoy taking picures of landscape. Takes some time for me to get it to focus but at the end a get a great picture. This was my Birthday gift from my BFF Seid. He sure knows how to pick them. XOXO

Easy To Use; Good Image Quality; Quiet

Short Battery Life

As a smaller sibling to the 5D Mark II, it was the video capabilities that created the buzz around the EOS 7D. It was the only alternative for sensible frame rates, whilst still being able to take advantage of the huge selection of fast EF lenses and giving that pleasing, filmic depth of field look.
