Great camera, great price by Apex on bhphotovideo.com Feb 13, 2012
I was excited to see that Canon dropped the price on the 7d, I had been looking to buy used, but couldn't pass up the chance to pick it up at the lower price, and with an additional 100 rebate. I'm upgrading from a 30d so it's a bit of a jump. The camera ...

Amazing Camera! by CyberMage on newegg.com Mar 13, 2012

Canon 7D and Amazon What was I thinking!! by Without Canon on amazon.com Apr 15, 2012
Ok, so I started with a Canon XTI Rebel, upgraded to a Canon 50D, and vacillated about upgrading to a CMOS 7D and / or Full Frame 5D Mark II. I was looking for three things when I decided to upgrade from the 50D; 1.) ISO speed, 2.) Frames per second, ...

THE 7D IS A USELESS CAMERA FOR A PRO! by propho on bhphotovideo.com Oct 17, 2010
THE PICTURE QUALITY IS BAD! ALWAYS GRAINY. IT HAS HIGH ISO CAPABILITY BUT THE HIGH ISO PHOTOS ARE NOT USABLE. I'M A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER AND THIS CAMERA WAS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY FOR ME. I HAVE A FEW OLDER 5DS THAT ARE MUCH BETTER THAN THIS CAMERA!

Canon is well aware that some filmmakers and news gatherers would like to shoot with its stills cameras...With the EOS 7D Canon has decided to release what surely is a natural progression...Given its bigger sensor, there are plenty of people hoping they will get the same frame rates as with the 7D...The EOS 550D, which has a similar sensor in terms of dimensions, but only one processor instead of two in the 7D – the second processor is for stills, not video – will do all the frame rates that the 7D does, at a fraction of its cost...

It has a crisp-sounding shutter, a sturdily built (and heavy at 900g) stainless steel and polycarbonate body, and all of the Canon EOS 7D's settings can be controlled via dedicated buttons or button/dial combinations...The EOS 1D Mark III also costs almost two and a half times as much as the Canon EOS 7D and only has a slightly bigger sensor...We love the feel of the Canon EOS 7D — even its relatively heavy weight — and we think it's an easy camera to use, even if you're not used to Canon's D-SLR control schemes...
