Product Description
A Whole New Class of EOS.
With a host of brand new features designed to enhance every facet of the photographic process, from still images to video, the new EOS 7D represents a whole new class of camera.
Made to be the tool of choice for serious photographers and semi-professionals, the EOS 7D features an all-new 18.0 Megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor and Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors, capturing tremendous images at up to ISO 12800 and speeds of up to 8 fps. The EOS 7D has a new all cross-type 19-point AF system with improved AI Servo AF subject tracking and user-selectable AF area selection modes for sharp focus no matter the situation. The EOS 7D's Intelligent Viewfinder, an entirely newly-designed technology, provides 100% coverage and displays user-selected AF modes as well as a spot metering circle and on demand grid lines. New iFCL Metering with 63-zone dual-layer metering system uses both focus and color information to provide accurate exposure even in difficult lighting. The EOS 7D also captures Full HD video at 30p (29.97 fps), 24p (23.976 fps) and 25p with an array of manual controls, including manual exposure during movie shooting and ISO speed selection. The EOS 7D features a magnesium alloy body that is dust- and weather-resistant and shutter durability of up to 150,000 cycles. Compatible with over 60 EF and EF-S lenses as well as with EOS System accessories, the creative opportunities - not just with stills but also with video - are beyond amazement.

 Switched from a D300s to the 7D and found out that it's a much better camera September 10, 2010
Elie Hobeika
I used to be a Nikon user and thought that it is by far better than anything Canon made but 2 months ago I switched to the 7D from a D300s and was very amazed at how good the camera is, I use it with a mediocre lens the 28-135 mm and it performs great. I shoot 3200 to 6400 ISO and the pictures are still acceptable and in my opinion better than the D300s. The best part over the Nikon are the ergonomics which are much nicer, with Nikon I had to use my right hand a lot while looking through the viewfinder which was a bit awkward at times but with 7D everything could be done just using the left hand. I could only recommend this camera to anyone confused about buying one of the 2 cameras.
Great Camera body! September 9, 2010
Rico
At 8FPS and 1080P video I could not be happier. I managed to pick this camera up for a steal too, Bing Cash + Mr.Rebates nocked it down another $170! Which was great. Over all the build is solid, which was the main reason I went for the XD vs the XXD (Weather Proofing).
I recently picked up the grip to help out with the ergonomics and battery life!
 Even the feature guys are working with it September 4, 2010

After doing a review awhile back, some feature cinematographers we know have latched onto it.
Instead of laying out the whole deal here you can visit [...] for the story that Steven Poster gave on using this camera on set.

Awesome Camera September 3, 2010

I am really happy with this camera. The quality and functionality is amazing. I bought a Canon 100mm IS Macro lens and together, these products take amazing pictures. If you are looking for a middle line professional digital camera, this one excels beyond your expections! In about a month, our new website will be launched so you can see the quality pictures this camera takes. [...]
Great for EXPERIENCED photographers who can take advantage of extensive features. September 2, 2010

Previous to buying the Canon EOS 7D, I had the 10D (since 2003) and did a lot of work with the 40D so I've got about 7 years of experience with Canon DSLRs. I can't say that I was overwhelmed by the quality of the images on the 7D but they are outstanding. If your primary concern is image quality, it seems to me you could buy a 50D or 60D and spend the extra money on quality Canon lenses and your images would rival the 7D. The features that sold me on the 7D however were the wireless flash control (finally!); the weather sealing; shutter durability; large, crystal clear LCD; and 8 fps. Professional grade stuff for a "prosumer" camera. Also great is the RAW/JPG button and the Q button which is great for changing settings FAST without scrolling through tons of menus (which all pro photogs can appreciate). At ISO 1600, images are still acceptable in my opinion. If you shoot mostly still photos like I do, the HD video was not that important but it is very impressive what cinematographers are doing with this DSLR. There's plenty of sample videos to watch and I'm excited to try this camera out on my occasional film projects that I produce for weddings and other special events. I wish they included the NTSC DV resolution (720x480) so the footage would match my miniDV camera, especially because the HD video takes enormous amounts of hard drive space. As most reviewers already noted, the reading the manual is very helpful. There are only 2 automatic settings on the camera (which work quite well) but 3 custom settings so you need to be familiar with how the camera operates. My only problem was with the autofocus. I couldn't seem to get a sharp picture when I left all the AF points on when indoors but it was VERY sharp when using just the center point only (the highest sensitivity when used with an f2.8 or faster lens). So far, I've been using the 7D for 6 months and it is working great, even up to now I'm still finding things it can do that I didn't know before.
