canon 7d reviews

Our first impression was, would it be able to top the Canon 60d (that I recently reviewed)? The 60d is an absolutely superb camera, so I was thinking, how could this be better, and if it was, then how much better?

Well I was impressed with the quality as with most canon cameras. Canon is probably the best camera maker in the world, so a camera priced at about $2,000 had to be first class ( a little cheaper if you buy it without lens).

Folks, this is what the Pro's use. Read the technical details:

* 18.0-megapixel CMOS Sensor and Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors for high image quality and speed
* Kit includes 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS UD standard zoom lens
* Advanced HD movie mode with manual exposure control and selectable frame rates
* Intelligent Viewfinder with 100 percent field of view; 19-point, all cross-type AF system equipped with dual diagonal cross-type sensors
* Capture images to CF Card Type I and II, UDMA-compliant CF cards (not included)

And just by reading the feedback from users at amazon.com, (4 1/2 stars out of five!) you can see what you are getting. A top notch, one of a kind camera that will give you a lot of satisfaction for years to come.

At just over 5 pounds, it's not as light as a point and shoot but because of its design its easy to hold; however some may consider it a little heavy. It's made of magnesium, and the camera's seals were built to resist water and dust (very important for me, so I can take great shots at the beach). And 18.0 Megapixels means that even after cropping images you can still print them and they will look great.

The 7d has a live view button for still or video recording, so you can frame your shots on the 3-inch LCD screen. The lens included in the camera is very good, so unless you are serious photographer (a pro :) you should be fine. If you make a living taking pictures, then you may want to get the camera without the lens and buy a better one (plenty to choose from on Amazon.com)

One (small) complain is that the auto-focus on the live preview is a little sluggish, but no big deal for me. It takes Compact Flash memory cards (not SD card), make sure you buy one since it doesn't come with one.

Also, make sure you read the manual (it does have a learning curve) since it's a semi-pro camera.

This camera will not disappoint you. Considering that you will enjoy it for many years and it will give you absolutely fantastic pictures, it's worth the price.

Razor sharp pictures, perfect colors, Full HD Video, super-fast (8 fps!), unforgettable memories.... Head over to amazon.com (click on the links right below) for more information
