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: Semi pro used with beautiful lenses take home some nice shots

Cons: You have to know how to use it

Opinion: To learn how to take pictures and an excellent body to use with lenses pro releases excellent shots is not very fast compared to a 1dx and solid works well in the right contexts of use and light if you criticize it and because you have not understood some things about photography to make beautiful photos you do not always have to have a pro if you know its limits bring home the right shots

Pros: A modified 5D II, therefore a robust and reliable tank, apsc sensor, dual processor, pop-up flash, burst, infinite battery. Still current and performing

Cons: Because of the type of photography I do, I can't find any

Opinion: Given away the kit 5D III, 70-200 f4 and 24-105, due to tendinitis in the shoulder, I switched to Sony A7II, given away immediately because I prefer to have a REFLEX in my hand. I tried a 7D with 18-135 kit enticed by the pop-up flash and since then I use only this, paid 300 euros including 18-135. Going from 5D III to this, is like going from a comfortable 2000CC sedan to a 1300CC prepared for the track, so you have to use it properly and take a little hand. I don't know how the hell they did it in Canon, but it captures light like an FF. The integrated flash, short, but also at medium distance, does not regret the sled flash. The crop factor for me is not a problem (on the contrary). I think I managed to find the right car for me. I still have to try it with L series lenses, but for the photography I do, without qualitative pretensions, at the moment it suits me.

Pros: pro body, burst, AF, viewfinder, joystick, first Canon SLR with auto ISO in M working

Cons: sensor inevitably outdated, no articulated screen & touch, live view contrast pre Dual Pixel, no exposure compensation with auto ISO in M.

Opinion: Does it make sense to buy a 7d in 2021? I switched to this old woman after trying the newcomer Sigma 150-600mm C on the M5: excellent machine in general, it is unsuitable for fast shots in which to seize the fleeting moment, a bit because of the viewfinder (not bad in itself, but the blackout is quite long with moving subjects) but mainly for the continuous af absolutely unreliable and inconsistent regardless of the mounted optics. The 7d attracted me with the ridiculous price, the pro body (both as controls / grip and as quality of materials) and an autofocus that, although not at the pace of the last ml, seemed to be more than enough for my needs. I immediately put my hands forward saying that in these characteristics the 7D does not disappoint: it is true, it lacks the tilt and touch screen of the descendants, but even with only the physical controls (including the excellent joystick) this body is comfortable and the response is always ready. The ovf is huge and a pleasure to use, the burst fast and "substantial" (about 20-24 raw at 8 shots per second, with a modern cf) and flanked by an af able to do it justice, even if every now and then there is some shot mysteriously out of focus. Unfortunately, after trying this camera returning to the M5 is really difficult, what previously seemed to me a great body now in comparison is little more than a toy for quality of materials and many details (shutter noise, main ring of the M for me indecent, as written reactivity, grip, battery life,...) small taken alone, but that all together for me weigh a lot on the experience of use. They weigh so much that I decided to continue using the 7d by turning a blind eye to the poor 18mpx sensor, which for giddì and noise can not compete with its younger descendants. a note on the subject: while for the dynamic range nothing can be done, for the noise are now available denoise softwares based on AI that I do not say fill the gap with recent sensors, but that guarantee a huge boost to the quality of the images, practically solving the problem of noise related to high ISO. Even the dreaded banding can be treated effectively with RawTherapee, even if the carefree shadow recoveries to which we have become accustomed in recent years remain impossible. So, back to the initial question... recommended or not? Compromises are there and they are important. But knowing them and seeing the ridiculous price of this old pro (about 250 euros), in my opinion you will hardly be disappointed.

Pros: Everything I've read around good

Cons: I still don't know, for now I've used it little

Opinion: This summer I broke the old 20D (because of me); on holiday then suddenly while I was in Ponte di Legno and I was photographing the central square I broke the mirror of the 5D Mk1 and it is not repairable because there are no spare parts unless they told me to the laboratory where I took it, you do not understand another machine to take the pieces ... So I went looking for a good camera that was also used and to spend the right, and after seeing several models on the net and reading everything and more, thanks to your reviews and the photos that you have published on this site that I have been following for some years now (although I have never written anything even if I have several things reviewed here), I convinced myself, and I started looking for a 7D and found it from RCE Perfect photo equal to the new with 1800 verified shots at € 400. I made the payment on October 27th and the next day I got it. Original box, complete with all accessories, instructions, CDs, and shoulder strap still packed and never opened. The immaculate body, not even a little segnetto anywhere. The machine in hand grips perfectly and gives you that sense of solidity that I found in 5D. Excellent various focus modes and exceptional burst. I paired them with the 18-200 EF-S and also tried it with the 40mm STM f/2.8 and the 50mm STM f/1.8. I haven't used it much yet but those few photos I took fully satisfied me as well as the machine. Really satisfied!
