Canon 7D : Specifications and Opinions

pubblicata da Knocker June 04, 2012

Pros: Now you can get this for under 1000 Sterling and at that price its a steel. Shutter speed at 8fps this is great for Air shows and sport. AF points, 19 for a crop camera that's cool. As a crop the EF-S lens collection is still good and x 1.6.

Cons: I wish it had both SD and CF cards.

Opinion: A fantastic camera the 7D is what the 50D should have been instead of starting a new range but still this is an all round great camera. I went from 400D to 40D to this, and it is so much nicer and well worth it if you can get it for less then 1000 Sterling. Having the 3 custom settings on the main dial are just like the 40D and so this was nice to keep in line with what I was used to. The view finder being 100% means I don't include the odd unwanted extra detail at the edge of the frame any more.

Pros: Excellent resolution and dynamic range, fast AF, 8 FPS burst, video, live view, value for money.

Cons: Yield high ISO good but not great, the screen not articulated.

Opinion: I bought the 7D as a second body to be attached to my 1Ds Mark III, and over time has become my main reflex. The image quality is the best you can currently get on APS-C, and is close to that of 1DsIII. The live view with "Silent Shooting", which can replace the mirror up, is a valuable aid in macro photography, the video quality is great, although I have used this feature less than I had expected. Fast autofocus, great burst and excellent value for money have made one of my 7D SLR favorites! In future updates, I hope to see further improvements to high ISO, adjustable screen as in the 60D and dual-slot CF / SD.

Pros: AF impressive if used in the right way and with the optics, fast burst at 8 FPS

Cons: Poor recording of the sensor at high ISO, quite noisy, not intuitive to configure to have the best performance. AF point selection Automatic or zone focus despair.

Opinion: Use the 7D as a second camera to photograph birds and wildlife for about a year thanks to the convenience of the burst at 8 FPS and Crop factor 1.6x. First you have to lose a little 'time to study the manual configurations of personal' AF and see what actually changes on the field, but if you set gives good satisfaction to no end. Unusable mode automatic choice point or area: 90% of the time err fire (also huge and static subjects such as Mt Paterno). Wonderful function point AF and spot AF point expansion: extremely accurate. The noise at high ISO (well this to 400) but there is not a tragedy, what makes me very disappointed in the engraving is very low up to ISO 1600. Removing the noise the detail is mixed unlike what happens with the 5D MkII. Personally I try not to ever push beyond ISO 800. I would have preferred a 12 Mpix but with a good recording up to ISO 1600. The colors of the RAW are markedly duller than those of the 5D mkII. That said, I hope it comes out soon because I consider an upgrade this machine only a good starting point: the 7D is definitely a concentration of tenologia and quality of an APS-C never reached so far, but Canon could do better for instance by lowering Mpix and privileging the quality of recording at high ISO that often has to be used for sports, animals, birds .... photographic genres for which this machine is used by most.

Pros: Resolution, AF, Burst, Screen, Live View shooting with silent

Cons: performance at high ISO

Opinion: I bought the 7D in October last year, after two years experience with a Canon 450D. The leap from 450D to 7D was impressive, professional body, burst monstrous, even the shutter sound was fantastic compared to the 450D. Using it in time, I realized that it is a reflex exceptional, even if the sensor is quite busy and quite noisy, to be honest, I have not seen many improvements over the 450D in terms of noise at high ISO. I would have preferred 2mpx less, but more than a cleaning and etching exceeded 1600. The rest is a machine which I highly recommend.

Pros: AF, burst, viewfinder, live view, various customizations.

Cons: Suffers a bit 'high ISO and files that churns are not ready

Opinion: After more than two years of experience with the 30d I decided to upgrade to 7d. It 'was a really good jump, once set up correctly the AF is fast and accurate, fantastic across the board. Almost always use the point expandable to cross. Body, handle, viewfinder and live view are nothing short of amazing, even the video capability is excellent. Empty the buffer so fast and the monitor is accurate and larger than the 30d. Convenient button to choose the mode of focus and customization of various machine settings. The noise at high ISO is the only thing I did turn up a little 'nose, maybe it's the fault of the sensor is too thick, I would have preferred a car with 14mpx but less noise.

pubblicata da Mactwin July 07, 2011

Pros: Probably the most innovative Canon machine, complete with every possible function and well built. Exploited in optimal light (studio) and / or close-up pictures. Great AF tracking (applies only to servo) Lightweight and customizable, excellent viewfinder. Battery with excellent battery life. Affordable. Fair performance at high ISO, higher than previous machines APSC Flash with Master Good video

Cons: Sensor bad, one of the worst ever made by canon, too dense, made "real" than sensors with far fewer megapixels. File no detail and sharpness than the resolution (but also in general) with long distance shots. Noise (grain) to any value iso, the file needs a working over. AF too variable in one-shot and click on objects that are not neighbors, is easily confused (AF points are quite large). Tendency to overexpose. Low resilience in the shadows. MRaw file (mjpeg) obviously less defined and detailed downsize made by a computer. Lack of second card (necessary element for professional use).

Opinion: If Canon had used a sensor with a lower density and a module af slightly more accurate (especially in one shot) would have been an almost perfect machine. The excessive density makes little usable in all conditions in which a similar machine should offer maximum. The magnification provided by the digital density (not the crop) calls for higher shutter speeds to avoid shake, increasing the shutter speed is clearly leading to demands for more iso consequently to a decrease in detail as they climb . The filter AA of the sensor probably affects of his anyway hardly manage to get files cleaned and etched as on other machines if not with the use of optical state of the art and shots light and optimal times and contrasts well defined, in which case the sensor provides a definition exceptional. Most users heavily influence the Sharpen filter, intervention disreputable that degrades the quality of the photo. One of the best APSC on the market, one of the worst sensors on the market.

pubblicata da Alex76 July 09, 2011

Pros: AF precise and lightning-fast course with the right optics, excellent dynamic range and resolution, 8 fps, full HD video, in my opinion the best APS-C Canon has ever offered, and at a very advantageous price!

Cons: Certainly improved the performance at high ISO, which still remains manageable until 3200.

Opinion: I replaced my 30D with the 7D, well the leap has been truly remarkable, a burst really fast, just looking for without having to spend but inflated figures for my pocket! 18 megapixels (which allows very large prints) and the crop factor of 1.6 X are great for photo hunting, I tested the 7D for the macro and also in this field is quite remarkable, with right lenses eg. 8-16 sigma or 10-22 canon is also wonderful for landscape, recently I'm using for portraiture with a sigma 85 f / 1.4 (which replaced the excellent Canon 85 f / 1.8) the results are truly excellent ! I can say without a doubt that this 7D widely covers the needs of any user, even PRO, in the field of Canon APS-C in my opinion has no equal.

pubblicata da Giovanni Mari July 09, 2011

Pros: AF, burst

Cons: Noise

Opinion: Currently, in my opinion, the best machine on the market for wildlife, better than the 1D Mark IV: the multiplication factor of the APS-C sensor is an advantage too important to do without it. From 800 ISO up is a bit noisy, the yield is acceptable up to ISO 1600, use the 3200 ISO unless absolutely necessary. AF great for photographing birds in flight. The Full HD video now consider it a must.

pubblicata da Fabio1980 July 11, 2011

Pros: Price, AF system, burst, viewfinder, UDMA

Cons: Sensor too dense, af inaccurate with a distant subject, file heavy and not very workable in post-production, digital noise evident.

Opinion: It 'a nice SLR but the 18-megapixel sensor has its limits, file heavy and difficult to work with. Af sometimes inaccurate, especially in distant subjects. Value / price, features from series 1 of APSC SLR. With a less dense sensor would be perfect ... a few months ago I replaced it with a 1dmk3 and it's another story.

pubblicata da Maw July 15, 2011

Pros: Ergonomic - versatile - quality images

Cons: noise high iso

Opinion: For almost one year shooting with the 7D and except the high iso, I find monstrously good. The goal with a serious and taking the whole set to 0'm good. Artifacts preset files that do not help produce.E 'mvero produces noise at high iso but all in all for an APS-C content. I do not know is my opinion but I find it really good, then it depends on the kind of photos that someone intends to do. You can not expect from a sensor APS-c of this magnitude light sensitivity from FF. Again best semi pro market. I highly recommend.

pubblicata da Bob70 July 18, 2011

Pros: excellent body, excellent compromise between lightness, strength and ergonomics. Optimal operating speed and excellent performance of autofocus if well configured

Cons: noise and banding at low iso files and very low tolerance in the recovery shadows in the post as soon as more fully

Opinion: ultimately a machine evolved from the point of view of the functions of the body and speed and very pleasant to use but produces loud and soft files that require a post "realized" in raw but comtempo very good in jpeg especially at low iso. I would say a machine suitable for photo amateur sports where the overall speed and quality of the jpeg files at low iso is good and the macro where Mpixel bring benefits in detail and in the crop. Less suitable for landscapes and nature photos in low light where required time-consuming and medium and high sensitivity because the high density brings with it problems of noise

pubblicata da Formha July 18, 2011

Pros: Hyper reactive machine, with functions and class performance. The double digicIV makes it as fast as any other APS-C. File extremely good (especially when combined with optical solving). Super configurable, very reminiscent of a small number "1". Excellent price / performance ratio.

Cons: To give the best of optics requires solving (and expensive). Noise at high ISO this (but nothing tragic and in any case better than their predecessors APS-C in spite of the increase in resolution).

Opinion: After 400D, 450D and 500D the jump was great, but having had the opportunity to work with a 1DMKIII often, I had a good measure of comparison and in this sense the 7D was a pleasant surprise. I must say that is a body that never lets you down, always ready, even in situations of acute stress. The noise at high ISO so much talked about, often vanish simply resizing step at Mpixel of the machines used in the comparison, or going to print, in any case it is better than any body has the predecessors. Sin'ora has never been a problem, even in prints with generous dimensions. The extreme personalization that is attached, may, however, lead to erroneous assessments. It 'important to be masters of the sophisticated AF system, which gives the best of optics "rank", as the sensor reaches easily the very dense "Diffraction limit" of the lenses cheaper. The widespread among users in these areas, is clear on the success of this body the excellent price / prestations, however, must be put into account the purchase of expensive optics for maximum benefit. In a future MKII I'd still have a lower noise at high ISO (already so still usable in many situations), a second slot for CF, fourth slot "C4" on gerahs prncipale and dynamic range still a little wider. Finally, all 19 AF points are cross already more than enough, but given the specialization of this body, I think it's also possible to do better, especially optimizing more contrast sensitivity of the center point. Machine is not recommended for beginners or those with little experience, needs a bit of study before reciprocate with great satisfaction.

pubblicata da Luigi Bassi July 20, 2011

Pros: I bought the Canon EOS 7D to Photo Safari for its amazing features and speed 8fps Burst to focus, for this kind of picture I think is the perfect machine! Obviously this is a semi Crop APS-C sensor, which has a good quality / price ratio. The viewfinder with 100% coverage gives it a touch more professional camera. not to mention the possibility that also do good HD movies in 16:9 format

Cons: The noise at high ISO (up to 800 you start to feel) but just do not overdo it too much with the cutouts of the images. The lack of an additional image format to 16:9. From October 2010 until today I had to update the firmware 3 times

Opinion: I'm not a pundits of cameras (Nikon I used in the past) but I think I have guessed the choice. The Canon EOS 7D is equipped with a technology end, with time is also greatly appreciates the ease of use. To take advantage of the burst speed recommend the JPEG files. The raw format is very cumbersome and in the end the difference with the jpeg is not striking. It has excellent battery life, if then itself with the Battery Grip is a photographer for a week in a row. The weight is considerable and as such expresses the immediate sense of robustness. I recommend it to all photographers "advanced amateur" and demanding, coupled with the Zoom Canon 100-400 L IS USM (the "massacre" of birds and animals is ensured). Recently (08/14/2012) I have updated the firmware to version 2.0.0 with no problems, therefore, confirm that all the expectations of improvement were implemented. VOTE 10

pubblicata da Zanne July 28, 2011

Pros: Resolution, General quality, viewfinder, ergonomics, Live View, Video

Cons: High ISO, Double Slot

Opinion: I own the 7D for a few months but I have already spremerla thoroughly in all possible situations and the first thing I would say is that it is a machine that does not excel in anything, but behaves in a more than decent in all situations. I pulled it to 6400 and it was good defense, it is certainly not the 5D but I'm happy, I've got done landscapes and portraits and even here the 5D probably the bat, I was able to photograph sports, perhaps with the 1D I obtained the best results, I made video, I've got that picture of wildlife, in short, I've got done everything and more that has always acted with dignity! The things that are missing for me are definitely the second slot, now I would say that it has become indispensable especially for a 18MP camera, and then does not satisfy me at full quality at ISO 100 though once printed photos the "grain" decreased significantly; for the rest I do not feel the lack of adjustable screen, in my opinion too delicate and not as useful as it may seem, I feel many complain about the performance at high iso, but I sincerely I am satisfied also because, as already mentioned, once printed the grain is greatly reduced (especially on glossy paper).

pubblicata da Barone August 03, 2011

Pros: High Resolution, Quick AF with 19 cross-type, Burst 8fps, Full HD video recording, Value / Price

Cons: Performance at high ISO, AF system area, Complexity of customization AF system

Opinion: The Canon 7D is the representation of the trend of Canon's "churn" specific machines and less heterogeneous direct competitor of Nikon. The 7D is a sports car, characterized by an AF system nevrile that allows to freeze the fastest of the subject, of course accompanied by suitable lenses and the right customization, without excessive effort. The 19 cross-type points and 8fps burst to allow performance crazy, always if configured. In particular, the Spot AF system is moving. The ergonomics of this machine is very pleasant, although Canon forget to put a Joystick on the battery grip and also definitely makes the work less hard sports photographers who make their speed must. The image quality is good and the 1.6X crop factor allows you to make the most of the telephoto lens. Seen in this way does not explain the price "modest" compared with the performance, in fact, is the trick. The AF rapid and nevrile is not very precise when using the system in the area and in the case of the system to 19 pointsautomatic priority to the closest subject is not always better and you have to give us a little used to it. A slight tendency to overexposure is nothing irreparable. All in all looks like a perfectly straddling the professional and semipro, it suffers from all the problems that accompany the APS-C sensors, high ISO performance in which you notice the loss of detail already ISO 1600 (still remediable in post-production) placing a limit of decency to 3200. Probably a couple of Mpixel less it would have made a wonderful machine and if it was accompanied by a FF sensor would definitely be a PRO, but would not have a price so affordable, which is why an advanced amateur will find it fantastic as a Pro will be satisfied spending is not excessive for the services it provides. As for the video capabilities Canon is the undisputed queen of the industry. In essence, the 7D is a machine for who knows what he wants and knows how to get it, at a reasonable time in the study of the complex buteffective AF system are achieved remarkable results, accept a reduced sensor and using some time to clean up the snapped file to ISO too high, in other words you can not have it all, not at that price. Remains by far the best APS-C on the market with the best quality / price ratio.

Pros: I cover light, opportunity 'to manage external falsh, burst and liwe view

Cons: file too dense that they always need a lot of work, made a low ISO to 100 ISO really annoying often produces bad file, difficulty 'in the recovery of the shadows

Opinion: I bought the 7D for individual display to my 5DMKII, and I use it almost exclusively for bird and nature photography in general including macro, great for hunting camera, its AF is effective and almost sure when my old 1DMKIIN, the viewfinder is remarkable with its 100% coverage and the monitor has excellent readability ', is not up to the quality as 5DMKII delll'immagine but still pretty good, the burst of 8 FPS is OK personally recommend, fast, easy to handle and do not forget the value for 'price

Pros: Image quality, robustness, speed and quality of video footage.

Cons: Poor performance for very high ISO, shadows little recoverable in difficult situations and the absence of dual slot (cf + sd).

Opinion: I purchased the 7D just come out as an addition to my 450D: Of course it was a leap of qualità.rnSono very pleased with the image quality, which I think is excellent up to ISO 800: from 800 up, drops slightly, but still allows make large prints absolutely leggibili.rnAgli high ISO there is no comparison with the 450D, which has shaped the image like a cake: for the rest, the speed is his other great value, which makes it perfect for nature photography or sportiva.rnInfine, the construction is very sturdy and has never had any problems, despite the ports everywhere and shots in all conditions, especially under the pouring rain, where the majority of my shooting macro photography: with a good cleaning after the session is not There are problemi.rnOccorre a bit 'of time before we know how to take full advantage and get good results, so do not recommend it as a first car for a principiante.rnrnDopo the release of firmware 2.0 and the Magic Lantern, the 7D body becomes an excellent machine for making thereEB: no BG is relatively light (for those who intend on filming Glidecam), however the quality of the video is eccellente.rnHo made many videos with this machine: several have been used for educational purposes and use the 7D for making videos in collaboration with networks televisive.rnrnNon trust those who judge without really knowing the machine: only those who use it for work can do it, all the others are made by people talking absolutely not competent.

Pros: High resolution, accurate AF and fairly fast, highly customizable, usability and ergonomics, exceptional viewfinder and screen, battery life, quality-competitive price.

Cons: sensor excellent performance at high iso low, jpeg processed by the camera just sufficient, intuitive configuration, meter just ok, use the flash requires a lot of experience tendency to overexpose.

Opinion: Use the 7D with great satisfaction from a year or so, the camera body, customization and usability is top notch as the quality and performance of the shutter burst and my memorizzazione.Il is used very wide ranging from landscape to reportage professional services (ceremonies, theater, fashion, etc.) and in some areas they come out the limits of this macchina.Questo is a sensor that brings out the best needs a lot of light, the exposure has to be perfect to the limit cut highlights, shadows otherwise closing the blacks take over the dynamic range is reduced by molto.I file underexposed details are mixed, oversaturated colors and a high contrast, recovery is difficult when shooting in raw and jpeg are bad . When you are forced to work in low light and you can not come up with the time of exposure above a certain threshold (reportage, theaters) unfortunately the sensor shows its limiti.Il maximum you can ask the sensor is iso 800 as a this sensitivity tolla minimum even slight underexposure files fall like quality when shooting quickly and almost instinctive it is not uncommon capiti.Per landscapes and portraits are also fine as ISO 3200 noise reduction in a selective and aggressive in case ' not affect the other risultato.L 'use with the flash is not the most accurate, in theory you can set almost anything, in practice the meter gives readings approximate in this field is still nikon imbattuta.Ho got to also use a 5D and a 1DMkIV, the 1D is impressive especially for the AF and performance at high ISO quality and quantity of noise, but it costs 3 times 7D.Tutto in all, the judgment is totally positive, to give the best this car has need to be known and lived and will not regret the money spent.

pubblicata da Fastgiaco August 16, 2011

Pros: Camera robust, ergonomically well designed (at least for my hands) burst setting possibilities, viewfinder with 100% coverage and a magnification 1, very important to me. Buffer emptying rate and # of shots in RAW. Appropriate price to quality, tropicalization.

Cons: Sensor too "full" some MPX (4/5?) Less does not hurt anyone. At high ISO can not find all this noise (maybe because I'm happy?) But the files are not easy, at least for me ... PS I do not use much and I'm used to the old 5d, to work with. Difficulty of finding the appropriate settings to the way I shoot, I find that the forwarding sensor is very sensitive to the "quality" and quantity "of light. A very low level of light but similar, the yield is variable depending on the situation and color to color: Sometimes it very well, others very bad and I do not speak only of the reds that are not very pleasing to the digital sensors but also of other colors. So I find it a very well engineered car at the level of recovery and not just "mechanics" but that does not give a lot of confidence and then when you are convinced of having "tamed" you realize that you still qualchecosa to discover. It 's true that not doing photo hunt (for which the 7D has been conceived), but sports and theater (then with large subjects) are not as well suited to review it.

Opinion: It 'a machine that would not recommend to those who are the first (and possibly the second) weapons, but I agree with those who say that it is one of (if not the) most successful aps-c Canon. If the second release semplificassero some settings and jumping off the AF even more precise perhaps it would be perfect. However I do not regret having bought and absolutely, in my opinion, coupled with 5 (MKI and MKII) form a perfect match.

pubblicata da Alemaff August 25, 2011

Pros: Construction, fast performance, iso to medium / high sensitivity, ergonomics, AF, personalization, image quality with appropriate lenses

Cons: Iso intermediate quality not great (400/800), ISO auto is not configurable, AF configuration rather tricky ....

Opinion: Excellent machine, in almost all shooting situations, excellent value for money, well built and very efficient. Not perfectly suited to the novice photographer that might remain puzzled by the numerous settings and configuration options. Mandatory for use with lenses of high / very high level for non incorerre in mediocre results. Personally, I am very satisfied (I come from 40D/50D and also 5D MK2) and absolute nothing to say the car is great, I noticed a certain unpredictability of results depending on the usage conditions, it happens to be displaced for good or evil on image quality than expected (again for better or for worse). Consigliatissima.

pubblicata da Ermoro August 26, 2011

Pros: As already said by many a real rock, not 'a 1D but the construction and' excellent, very good size and sturdy feel, tropicalizazzione more 'than the height. Excellent viewfinder to be an APS-C with 100% coverage. Velocisticamente the best I've ever tried, even greater than 1DIII, thanks to the two DIGIC IV and support UDMA, so not only ecezionale a burst in RAW but longer stand-by practically absent. Price honest, even with the competition for a product that I can easily define semipro. AF Microadjustment.

Cons: Know enough about PP (work in IT so accustomed to the software) and I find the files in the 7D a little confusing, perhaps because of the resolution so 'high or just a sensor certainly not equal to that of a FF or a 1D . You have to be very accurate, "it clicks" and so avoid 'having to recover in PP too. Small adjustments to the RAW files make it possible for "solving" the shot in most situations. Filter AA a little intrusive, often shooting seems to be "soft" but the details are always very present. Learning time is not very short. The best of me now after 2 years of purchase. Almost necessary calibration Room Service or in the car AF. Showing a bit 'ups and downs, especially the MAF on distant subjects can' be critical in low contrast or backlight.

Opinion: Pros and cons between the best APS-C Canon, and Canon not only ... I have it now for 2 years and apart from a few too many sclerata and 'always behaved great, returning images of excellent quality'. Noise? Mah the grain produced by the sensor Gapless Canon and 'very end, which allows to maintain fine details in every situation. Lose some 'dynamic range above 2000 ISO, but after all the file is always very good. Of images for web (1200px) and on paper you always get good results (af sometimes dancer separately). Consigliatissima those who want something more 'evolved within the APS-C. For those who are 'novice or first DSLR better to wait, or take into account a lot and plan to take a very long time before you understand the defects and be able to meet the needs' of a sensor actually very dense, but with features from the first classroom.

pubblicata da Giacomo75 September 02, 2011

Pros: AF fast, customizable, good battery life, good for RAW images at 800 ISO, 100% viewfinder and live view

Cons: Yield at high iso useful commands hidden from the sub-menu articulated

Opinion: The 7D is certainly a big step forward for a APS-C sensor there are many advantages to 8 FPS burst from the ability to shoot high-quality video (as long as it is supported by all professional lenses), undoubtedly the price is attractive and 18 MPX fano throat but the limit in taking in high iso max 800 is not the best for a semi pro as the 7D. A 1600 photos are acceptable if you do a good job in PP and not everyone has the time or inclination to fix the background and so on. I notice a certain complexity in remembering the sequence articulated to set custom AF as the first point of the chase and the reported profit for the photo hunt but not immediate to program. Otherwise a fantastic car when combined with a FF format. I'd like an update of its "hidden menu" of the 7D and best performance at high ISO.

pubblicata da Gbelli01 September 03, 2011

Pros: Strong body, excellent ergonomics, burst monstrous 19-point AF system awkward, bright viewfinder.

Cons: No slot for additional CF (it would be useful to separate from such raw jpeg. Difficult to set the camera to your needs.

Opinion: I purchased the Canon 7D a year ago and as they say love at first sight. In my opinion, Canon has hit the mark with the best available Autofocus (despite 51 points from Nikon). E 'extremely versatile, both for the powerful burst, both for the myriad of customizations. Sensor that gives details and color tones are spectacular. Personally, I like the high ISO performance. Certainly it must be accompanied with the objectives of the breed. I for example I put a Canon 17-55 2.8. Excellent reflex.

pubblicata da Marxso September 04, 2011

Pros: AF, construction, operation speed, ergonomics, optical viewfinder, support UDMA, wireless flash control, video

Cons: Tropicalization not very strong, high quality with ISO not great, missing the lock button ring

Opinion: I have the 7D for about a year with satisfaction. The construction and ergonomics are at the top but I would have preferred a tropicalization robust. A perfect machine that anyone who loves wildlife, sport all about fast autofocus, high-performance and gust up to 8 frames per second. In my opinion is one of the 7D SLR market more complicated due to the sensor too thick. The RAW files at high ISO are not exceptional, they often require an experienced photographer working in Photoshop.

pubblicata da Mzanut January 28, 2012

Pros: Autofocus, burst, viewfinder screen, metal body, customization buttons, management via wireless external flash, light meter.

Cons: sensor from the mediocre performance in the 1:1 magnification, low quality 'over ISO 1600 mode' Mraw / Jpeg to 10.5 megapixel poor

Opinion: The own for about a year and a half coming from a 450D. What can I say, impressive autofocus system than any model canon (excluding series 1d), 19 points ALL cross allow you to have high accuracy not only with the classical central point (as opposed to all the other canon). Many mode 'focus optimized for subjects both fixed and moving. Gust abominable, 100% viewfinder, solid metal body nice and solid schermino LCD with high resolution and good contrast. Has the chance 'to reprogram almost all the buttons and the ability' to manage wirelessly up to 3 external flashes! In addition, the light meter and 'actually very accurate white balance and almost always perfect. I do not comment on the video 'cause I do not care, I tried it a couple of times just for curiosity'. Now we come to the painful notes: sensor with poor performance in the 1:1 magnification, crop100 lack of detail and mixed that compels to make a down sizing to 10-12 megapixel (via photoshop) to finally get a crisp and detailed image (at the expense obviouslymax magnification). I also tried numerous times to make fine adjustments with my tele series L (70-200 F4 IS and 400 F5.6) but the story does not change much. In short, the ballyhooed 18-megapixel sensor seem more 'poster from Canon that real and effective marketing ... To complicate matters, there 'well that recompression internal Mraw / jpeg (10.5 megapixels) and' was made by dogs (as also pointed out by the user Mactwin review and on numerous Internet forums) producing a ' less sharp image of the same outlet 18 mpx and resampled to 10.5 via photoshop. No problem with the mode 'sRAW / jpeg to 4.5 mpx which produces a substantially identical to the same outlet 18 and then resampled to 4.5 via photoshop. As for increasing the yield of 'ISO for me behaves without infamy and without praise, up to ISO 1600 (then still reworking the image with photoshop) and' acceptable, no more than ... degradation of quality 'becomes too large and unrecoverable unless you keep the photo very small in size. CONCLUSION: If you are trainingautogenous autoconvincendovi the REAL resolution of 7d is 12 mpx and you do not have the need 'to push beyond ISO 1600 then the 7d and' definitely an excellent overall machine ... otherwise it 's better that you indirizziate to the flagships 5d and 1d.

Pros: Value / Price - AF - Gust - Personalization - Egonomia - General quality image

Cons: Screen is not articulated - Yield ISO higher than 3200

Opinion: You either like it or you hate it. This would seem to be a summary of dozens and dozens of posts regarding this machine much discussed. There is one who is fully satisfied and those who say they have sold a few months later in despair. I belong to the first category. I own the 6 months, purchased on the Internet at less than € 1,100, I find it a body with a quality / price ratio amazing. I do not think it is the ideal machine for a pixel peeper because actually, looking at the images on the monitor at 100% you can not complain of slight noise even at ISO 100. However, if there are "satisfied" to look at the photographs to maximum print size (54.86 cm x 36.58 cm) then you will notice that the image is always clean, engraved, fully usable up to ISO 3200 (if properly exposed), and extreme cases, previous use of reduced noise, even at ISO 6,400 and 12,800. The noise is greater chroma (easily removed in ACR) to luminance occurs with much punctuationend (which therefore does not ruin much the engraving of the image). The burst trigger is fast, the AF 19 points and also focus on the cross are always comfortable and precise. In fact, the management of AF in AI Servo, with all the many settings available to it, embarrassing the less experienced user of electronics. With a little 'study and many practice tests are still unable to find the setting most appropriate to the subject to be photographed. Useful the possibility of "micro" lens, I have used the 50ino that, otherwise I would have thrown out the window as suffering from chronic front focus. Useful three customizable positions on the ring and in general the myriad of possibilities to adapt the car like a glove the way you photograph. The viewfinder with 100% 1X magnification gives a comprehensive view of the field that allows you to compose accurately. Objectively, the best APS-C Canon ever.

Pros: Ergonomics adaptability. Excellent construction, tropicalization enough. Optical viewfinder with LCD fantastic. Good resolution. Perfect focus at all times and fully customizable. Functionality and more snapshots. Gust fast. Exposure perfect. Information batteries. Dual processor. PERFORMANCE!

Cons: Resolution very good but not excellent at high ISO, however, managed to ISO 1200-1600.

Opinion: I'm really happy with this car! I would not change even with some FF! I have hit several features and improvements compared to net even professional models! I keep a lot to the visual display before shooting and the viewfinder of the 7D has played a key role in the purchase of the machine. The performances are excellent, they are almost useless if you do not really specialized for a photograph. The focus is really fun and I think that the decision to include a transmissive LCD has been fits perfectly. With regard to ergonomics, the car has each key in its place and it is a pleasure to wield it! In conclusion I can say is well known that Canon has designed the machine according to the demands of photographers and photo enthusiasts with varied requirements ... I would not change ever!

Pros: Very advanced, fast autofocus and accurate enough, 8 fps burst, excellent value for money, robust body and resilience to dust and dirt. 100 viewfinder, HD video.

Cons: Yield at high ISO not up, noisy, produces files that need PP. Lacks dual-slot CF / SD that this body would fit really well being the flagship APS-C Canon home. Missing manual adjustments in the audio video recordings.

Opinion: I have used this body for almost 2 years and overall I can be satisfied. Definitely a great reflex that I recommend to all those who need speed and responsiveness, preferring the sports genre and / or natural. Personally I find it annoying having to resort to strictly pp, that this reflex is really a must. One of the limitations really obvious, even for the less demanding amateur photographer, is the noise and performance at high ISO, if you want to maintain a low noise do not exceed the 800 ISO. The build quality is very good, with a less dense sensor would be a "small" wonder.

Pros: Construction and excellent ergonomics, customization, excellent AF, 8fps, viewfinder, high resolution and quality 'of the image if abinata L in optical, video superlatives.

Cons: Unusable by ISO 1600-3200 in of, sensor too thick.

Opinion: Excellent 7D. This camera just hit 'was the ergonomics. It gives you that sense of security and solid. The feeling 'to get your hands on a glove. His 1000 settings allow customization to 360 degrees. Its viewfinder full of information helps a lot in composition and exposure.

The real problem of the 7D and 'its dense megapixel sensor, which is why it is preferable to increase the threshold of safety times to get a good picture and no blur. The photos are raw one bit 'soft, slightly mixed with subjects in the distance, but everything' workable pp, reducing the image resolution. The dynamic range and 'good. In pp and 'easy to recover the white one bit' burned, less recoverable shadows. Up to 3200 ISO it works well (although note always a bit of noise even at low ISO), but exceeded this threshold noise and 'very obvious. Excellent resolution. In general the quality 'of the images is very good, as long as use of optical L series and the like. The advice for those who do wildlife photography, sports, news reports and in general a bit 'all, paying more' attention and had to operate in conjunction with optical quality '.

Pros: useful as a second body without having to spend too much. At amateur level is definitely a great car that gives some satisfaction both in quality and performance (8ft century there are many), but the only real advantage is the sensor that helps in the fields of natural and sporty, the increase in focal committed.

Cons: 18MP in a sensor aps.c are too many especially when they get the iso.

Opinion: I bought it twice ... just come out, but sold the x 5d mark2, then bought used with the new update that seems to have given a coat of quality especially nell'autofocus that was not excelled. it is useless to think that it can replace the first class even if it brings some Characteristics as the eight ft sec. and the central cross 2.8 x optical, remains a useful machine as a spare when you star light ox xchè canon wanted to overdo it by placing well in a 18 mp sensor half the size of a fullframe obviously a high iso (formerly 800) , shows all its qualitative limits, but x amateur use is definitely the best that can be offered without entering the profession. The video mode ... there would be no small talk, but presferisco use x photograph until they come out optics with autofocus is quiet and working without altering the light as you move the recovery in different areas. is still one more thing that can be used in certain circumstances.

Pros: Excellent construction, quick burst and definition files

Cons: .... BG intergrated, lack of two slots for memory cards, maybe 12 000 iso, but I do not think ever that scatterò

Opinion: A great car and I bought it just out of the said three months time (I was not happy and was the first pro SLR that I had, perhaps not studied in full) via a series 1 (which is all other field). RnIo I especially photo hunting of birds in flight, but I do not dislike it sheds it safaris and this machine is really the top, enter into a backpack and weighs a modest club .... I came back only one week and I'm enjoying to the fullest. The sensor dense for me is not a problem, usually the night picture is on a tripod to 2/400 and in the church there iso Taken: P then in my opinion the 3200 iso is good (of course it was better if it was less dense) and however, you can enjoy great detail, just hacking just PP and pulls out files worthy of NG. The difference from series 1? ..... Well the price: P and jpeg that are ready for 'use by ISO 1600 in su.rnLa 7D is a tank in my opinion makes it all 19 cross-type AF 5.6 and the central well obliquo.rnMacchina that deserves certainly 'a another 10 for the construction and potential. About the "offense" in every way in my opinion shouldrevise his way of photographing. A 7D with a sigma 18-200 IS nn from 400 euros to produce photo unworthy, but then a number 1 will do exactly the same thing. rnPrendete and enjoy it all!!!

Pros: dynamic range very satisfactory, AF high-level supersonic burst, excellent construction, ergonomics professional

Cons: noise high ISO (absolutely acceptable up to 3200), the screen is not exceptional, long settings to make the most

Opinion: a body that amio opinion, arises within the segment APSC as a reference for action shots, photo hunting, sports body ... truly ergonomic and well finished, not fear comparisons with higher-level bodies burst ... very fast, great for certain types of photography but not all use it ... the new version of the firmwere June 2012 makes it truly a competitive and comprehensive to meet the needs of even the most enthusiastic professionista.rnPersonalmente are also if I own a short time ago and I can only advise you.

Pros: Gust 8 fps, HD Video (720 hd 60 fps), autofocus, construction, layout buttons (switch video - photo) Personalization of sectarian viewfinder.

Cons: Sensor grainy, yield at high iso (I use it with difficulty from 640 and up), you have to have good optics (L), raw files never ready.

Pros: Body resistant to low temperatures, outstanding autofocus, burst more than usable, behavior at high ISO good but not excellent

Cons: Does not hold very high ISO, but then it is an APSC sensor, not FF.rnNon tropical

Opinion: I bought the 7D now 2 years ago and coming from 550 and is worth emphasizing the difference between the two rooms. Photographer mainly landscapes and photos on the road, but I'm just venturing into wildlife photography, and the 7D is absolutely perfect for everyone. For nature photography is the most appropriate FF, but since the price of most remain prohibitive, with the 7D you have a machine that is perfectly suited to pictures of all kinds thanks to its fast and accurate AF, the number of points and not just burst. rnQuando in the future will change it, probably will be for a FF, unless the mark II 7D not face a stir.

Pros: Speed ??burst, AF, dynamic rendering, viewfinder, video quality

Cons: Noise at high ISO

Opinion: I am a beginner and I'm from a year of use of the 50D: I noticed an overall improvement, particularly in the dynamic rendering, colors (repeating the same step, with the same optical and alternating the two bodies)! For the rest of the camera for a novice like me it is simply a pleasure, from all points of view, if I find a flaw is in the noise, already at high iso, wanting then is easily removed in PP. I highly recommend also impractical ;)

Pros: Gust and image quality

Cons: Noise high iso (aps) second slot

Opinion: I use it for a couple of years and in my opinion, is a wonderful machine even if you have a little to high iso. If it was a FF would be one of migliori.il menu customization is not really intuitive but you can see, it is not easy to set at will auto focus but all in all was a great machine (I repeat, is a personal opinion). Missing slot the second card maybe with a choice of cf sd.rnBuona and light to all ...

Pros: Versatile, recent and complete technology, excellent image quality, screen, AF professional level, ergonomics, price.

Cons: double slot, optical quality, it requires practice, it is not suitable for beginners.

Opinion: Probably the best APS-C market, camera does not happen to everyone, but present in the various gallery has given ample demonstration of versatility and quality. Requires a minimum of knowledge and their skills back into play, in a certain sense the ages, more and more sluggish by the continuous technological evolution of digital has carried the loads to the delusions of "noise", yesterday there was a war of pixels, file now love planed to 25,000 ISO. The 7D optical likes solving, marked improvement over previous 40D/50D with regard to noise management, iso 1600 totally manageable and it is also the type of grain to be more pleasant than previous models, the 3200 hold up with good usability if you exposes a duty, not rare good examples of expertly managed iso file to 6400 (pre-and pp). rnAncora recently, it has a quality / price ratio between migliori.rn

Cons: noise at high ISO.

Opinion: as a former member of the 1100d, I noticed a huge leap forward with the 7d, obviously not a ff but definitely the best on aps-c, the grip strength are excellent taste is also only hold it :), and excellent af the burst altrettanto.Il noise is heard but unfortunately you can not have perfection, combined with a quality lens sharpness will not disappoint affatto.Macchina suitable for amateur photographer a little more demanding and experienced, or even as a second body to professionals.

Pros: All I can offer

Cons: Time to devote to understand the settings af

Opinion: Machine that is lightning, accurate and reliable. Iso well managed until 3200. Do not look at the digital file, but printing ... Try it! Af impeccable, mainly use for photos of motocross. Excellent in any genre of photography. I do not understand when reading to the right and sinintra the recovery of shadows and various things of pixel density because this machine requires a lot of precision during shooting. Recommended! For my opinion is the best APSC ever built in like that! Top marks!

Pros: Ergonomics, autofocus, burst, exposure, electronic level viewfinder live-view video.

Cons: Sensor a bit 'too dense with shake-risk (but also a good chance of crop). Rn

Opinion: I use the Canon Eos 7D for some months now and I got to spremerla thoroughly. I must say, without a doubt, that is definitely the best APS-C produced by Canon until oggi.rnOvviamente can not compete with the professional SLR (Series 1) and even with the recent Canon Eos 5D Mark II, but is an excellent solution for photographers who have a limited budget but want to have some advanced features that the Canon xxD series xxxD and not offrono.rnQuali are the particular features that make it attractive? rnIniziamo by saying that it is a reflex solid, sturdy and well built. E 'in tropical climates (although not as series 1) and offers really good ergonomics: you hold well and all buttons for functions that are easily accessible ... a really well designed camera! Other interesting features are the electronic level (especially useful for landscape photos) and the viewfinder with 100% coverage. RNLA the high ISO performance is quite good, especially considering that it is an APS-C and not a fullframe. Personally I have gone fromor ISO 1,600 and, in certain cases, also at 3,200 ISO still obtain images from the acceptable quality. The 18-megapixel sensor provides good dynamic range and, combined with a light meter much better than the Canon 40D and 50D, gives great results. Since, however, a sensor very "dense" we must pay particular attention to shake still there and take in the safety times. A camera on the resolution so high forgiven little pairing with optics that are not good qualità.rnIn any case, what makes it really interesting for this reflex nature photographer is highly configurable and fast autofocus. Combined with a remarkable burst of 8 frames per second, makes the Canon Eos 7D a camera very suitable for taking pictures of movimento.rnUn 'other very interesting feature is the video mode. The quality of the films obtained with this camera is achieved only by expensive professional camcorders. As evidence of this, some scene holliwoodiano the film "The Avengers" blockbuster at the box office, were taken with the Canon Eos 7D.rnIn conclusion, although it is recently released (2009), the Canon EOS 7D is a good reflex and will allow to take excellent photos. Last recommendation: make sure you have done the upgrade to the latest firmware version. With version 2.0 have been fixed some glitches and enlarged some important features such as the duration of the burst, the automatic adjustment of ISO, image editing "in the room", etc ...
