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: 18mpx sensor, precise and reliable focusing system, 8 frames per second burst, robustness, tropicalized, battery life, aesthetics, 19-point AF.

Cons: Nothing for his time

Opinion: I could write a book telling how many we have been through together. My 7D, still working and active, has totaled well over a million and a half shots, I have never changed anything, it is still as I bought it in January 2010. I did everything with it. We shared an experience at -24 ° degrees below zero, for the night lighting of the hot air balloons, in Dobbiaco, in Val Pusteria. I have used it for sports, travel, landscaping, portraits, street, birdlife, macro. I have always brought home the result, in any weather condition, even extreme. It has its years, you know, to date I recommend it as a used body for newbies who want to learn manual settings, without relying on ISO tightness and dynamic range, spending from 100 to 150€, for an indestructible and professional camera body in every respect. I replaced my 7D with an 80D, especially for sports photography, given my age I didn't want to go any further, especially for issues of ISO tightness and image quality which, overall, are inferior, if compared to other cameras nowadays. He will remain forever in my Heart.

Pros: Build, AF, reliability, battery, 8fps burst

Cons: High ISO resistance (as with most APS C)

Opinion: Bought new at the time I still manage to use it as a third body on some rare occasion where you need AF, burst, factor 1.6 x ... and lots of light available. I state that the instruction manual should be designed for a top set based on the context, if the camera is combined with L series lenses (or beautiful fixed lenses) the photos obtained can still definitely surprise. Obviously it remains a daytime beauty or rather, a correct exposure is essential, in poorly lit settings without auxiliary lights relying only on the high ISO factor, it would lead to not so amazing results ... you just need to know its limits! The body is granite, the battery life is great, the AF very responsive, there aren't as many points but they work well and the 8fps burst is amply sufficient (for my needs). Conclusion? Tempted to sell it, then looking at the prices (the deal would eventually be for those who buy) and some sporting events (but not only) to put it to the test again in the end they definitely made me change my mind ... do I think that 7D is like an excellent wine that improves with age or maybe it will be me who will have studied the manual over the years?
