Pros: Fast and responsive / build quality / fun using it

Cons: no tilting screen / for 50mm lenses You have to go to 30mm lenses, and there is not much joice on the market. That´s why i still keep my 5D

Opinion: I love this camera. It is the only camera i bought brand new. It feels so good in Your hands. The build quality is outstanding. I also have a 5D MKII, but i like the 7D more. The 5D feels like a dinosaur in comparison to the 7D. The 7D is so much faster in response. In terms of picture qaulity it is more then i will ever need. I would like to have a HDR function on the camera, since i only shoot in jpgeg. And a tilting screen woud be great. But overall it is a great camera and it is fun to use. In my opinion this is the biggest benefit of the 7D. A camera You don´t like to hold in Your hands, will not be used at all. And the 7D will make You wanna go out and shot every day!

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing (maybe a better sound for the shutter closing but who matters)

Opinion: I own several digital cameras (more than I once owned analog) always within my financial means. I have Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax and one Fujifilm cameras. ``Having read so much about this particular Canon model I thought it should be in my collection. ``So, after waiting for some time, I found one in German classifieds at an extremely good price (155 euros) and in excellent condition (13,800 clicks). Handling it and my settings were very easy because I already had the 40D. And while I was still wondering why I bought this camera when I already had the 100D which is a masterpiece, with their same sensor resolution (18Mp) I could and did see the differences. And these are not found in the feeling of solidity you have holding the 7D in your hand or the fullness of the possibilities that the 7D again excels in which can be considered a professional model but also in the image quality the 7D excels (something I saw in the DXOMARK grading ). The image is more natural, sweeter, closer to the photos my beloved AT-1 gave me with film once. I must mention that one finding with this camera was that when testing Canon lenses I have (or those I have with Canon body mounts), this camera gave another dimension to those lenses, something more, something more beautiful in the end result. Also, as soon as I tried it on for the first time, my thought was to buy another piece... I love the 5D (classic) I have, it has its own personality, I love the 1 Ds (classic) more than the 1 Ds Mk II I also have, the Nikon D90 more than the D7100 and the Pentax K 10D as well as the Olympus E-510 which was also my first DSLR. However, this camera has earned a place in my heart. It has its own distinct personality, both in the feeling when you hold it in your hand and in the photography. It is enough for me to have only her with me because she gives me the feeling that she will not betray me. Buy it with your eyes closed.

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: Robustness, AF, ergonomics, battery life, files that can be worked in post (taking into account the sensor, Mpx and age), current price of the second-hand, 8 FPS

Cons: ISO hold, focus points (few compared to today's mirrorless cameras and only the central works very well)

Opinion: I bought a used 7D circa 2022 doubtful if, as a first camera body, it still kept up with the times. Obviously the answer was no, let me explain: the car still behaves well now from many, indeed many, points of view. The AF is still a splinter, especially if mounted on medium/high-end lenses, but as mentioned above the focus points are not many (compared to modern cameras) and they do not all work in the same way. The central focus point is amazing, I have never reed a focus and it is practically instantaneous, the others I find more inaccurate (I know it is normal, but there is a clear and marked gap). Robust machine that digests all lenses, from low-end to high/professional. The best comes when you need to shoot sports or wildlife with a high-end lens (L-series or other). Photos that in this case remain well sharp and with details that I honestly don't know how the sensor manages to bring out (I happened to crop up to 1.5Mpx and the detail is still sufficiently present, always remembering that it is a non-flagship camera of 2009). The battery is eternal (I have an original battery from 2012 that still allows me to get to about 700/800 shots easily). Another point in favor is today's cost (I bought it with about 7000 shots with just over 200 euros) this in fact makes it in my opinion a good first camera for those who would like to become an amateur. Unlike many others I think that the ISO tightness (always taking into account the year of the project and the size of the sensor compared to the Mpx) is more than acceptable, yes the noise begins to be perceived already from 1600 ISO, but without being too picky and bringing the files to post-production I shot easily even around 4000/5000 ISO (I don't know if it's my impression or if it's my sensor in In particular, but ISO grain and loss of dynamic range do not go hand in hand, on the contrary, the dynamic range is more "tenacious" to ISO tightness, which therefore allows a minimum correction from "high ISO". Making the only real problem the noise generated). Body that seems more than robust, when held in hand it seems to be driving a tank, and infinite shutter (a friend of mine reached 230k shots and still gave satisfaction). Ergonomics that (for my fairly large hands) is spectacular, on this not at all to envy to the brand new mirrorless or reflex flagships, yes perhaps a bit heavy, but I find that it is not a disadvantage for me. I could go on with lines and lines of chat, I would like to conclude without getting bored. So I conclude by saying: This apparently spartan machine, but in reality also very refined in its own way, gives emotions, real emotions, punishes if you don't learn to know it and praises if you become "friends". I wish each of you to experience the same emotions that this little tank transmits to me.

Pros: Ergonomics, construction, reliability, and overall quality make it a reflex lady even in 2024!

Cons: The black AF points... I don't like them

Opinion: I got this reflex at the ridiculous figure of 160e used, rubbed body, hard keys... had been stopped for some time. Taken up by me, passed a cloth over it, pressed all the keys twice, it became 100% functional again. So passed with flying colors. I have owned the 5D, the mkii, 1Ds mkii, 1DX, 40D, etc... As a coprpo it has excellent ergonomics, very good viewfinder. He hasn't betrayed me yet, that's it. I must say that more than one person complains about noisy ISOs... Maybe yes, but today with AI you can remove the noise in one click. That said, the file, even if noisy after 1600-3200 (a matter of opinion though...) remains "crispy" and clean. Without many artifacts. What I like is the shutter speed, the buffer, in short, the operation always ready. The "only" 18mp are not a problem, indeed in some ways a PLUS. It doesn't need L lenses to give its best like some FF bodies, where if you don't have the red line in front of you, it doesn't have sharpness and quality. I only took it to have the 1.6x factor of the sensor, which I use on the 70-300 USM II. Together they don't make a fuss. Without having a very expensive kit, both the 7D and the telephoto are perfect together. I don't need any extender, and I get almost to 500mm at F5.6 where the lens itself is stra great at TA! What more could you want? So I would say that the fame of a reflex gentleman is more than justified, from every point of view.
