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...

It is best in camera quality pictures and look. but its noise level is high. apart from this all thing are good. its look is good, easy to handle and easy to care. battery backup is also good and its zoom is perfect.

Toting around this camera is like holding a wild beast in your hands – this sucker could handle a NASCAR race with ease.

Great 18MP photo quality; Blazing fast 8 fps shooting; Pinpoint focusing; Just so happens to take HD videos

Expensive; Heavy-it's a commitment; Video focusing takes practice; Considerable learning curve

Canon has created a proficient prosumer digital SLR with the 7D, sporting excellent specifications and performance such as burst shooting speed and HD movie recording. If you're not quite ready for the full frame 5D Mark II, or want the advantages of an APS-C-sized sensor, the 7D will serve you...

Large; bright viewfinder; Full manual controls in video recording; Superb burst rate for a prosumer dSLR; Excellent noise control

AF system still feels a little cumbersome at times; Kit 18-135mm lens isn't as impressive as expected

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?

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.

If you can justify the price tag it's hard to fault Canon's new APS-C flagship. With class-leading image quality, fast operation and excellent handling the EOS 7D is everything a semi-pro model should be--and the excellent movie mode will be a welcome bonus to those that like their pictures to move.

Class-leading detail and resolution at base ISO; good per-pixel sharpness; Very good low-light performance; low noise levels and good retention of detail; 8 frames per second continuous shooting speed; Thanks to Dual Digic 4 processors very quick and responsive performance; Excellent build quality...

Unreliable white balance under artificial lighting; Slight tendency to overexpose in contrasty conditions; Occasional jagged lines in 720p video; No built-in AF illuminator

When I first received Canon's press release for the EOS 7D , I assumed the camera was a full-frame model, perhaps bridging the gap between the EOS 5D Mark II and the EOS-1D Mark III (since updated to Mark IV). However, to my surprise, I discovered that it's an 18-million-pixel APS-C-format camera.

With the introduction of the EOS 7D, Canon has created a ‘pro-sumer' DSLR that is a step up from the EOS 50D but has a smaller sensor than the EOS 5D Mark II. Offering 18-megapixel resolution, the 7D is the first EOS camera outside the EOS-1 series to be equipped with Dual DiG!C 4 processors.

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...
