Build quality, Video footage, Continuous shooting mode, HighISO image quality, Great viewfinder
Hard on memory cards, Unimpressive kit lens
The excellent Nikon D300S looms large over the 7D and matches it in virtually every way. The Nikon's build quality is superlative, its continuous mode performance is just about the same, and usability, while significantly different from the 7D's, is great...
This camera is ultra-responsive with seemingly no time lag between imagining the picture and having it saved on the CF card. The 8fps burst speed is ideal for capturing fast moving subjects. Auto focus and auto exposure are almost always spot on. The e...
Only having three frame auto bracketing is poor. Nikon brackets nine and Pentax seven – which is ideal for creating high dynamic range sets. The low light auto-focus assist lamp is still the dreadful pulse flash method.
Canon now has an APS-C size sensor camera to compete with the Nikon D300s, filling a gap in their product line. Choosing between the Canon and the Nikon is easy – buy the camera for which you already own lenses. If starting from scratch the Nikon fe...

Large, bright viewfinder , Full manual controls in video recording , Superb burst rate for a prosumer dSLR , Excellent noise control
AF system still feels a little cumbersome at times , Kit 18-135mm lens isn't as impressive as expected
Canon has created a proficient prosumer digital SLR with the 7D, sporting excellent specifications and performance such as burst shooting speed and HD movie recording....
Abstract: With the introduction of the EOS 7D, Canon has created a 'pro-sumer' DSLR that is a step up from the EOS 50D but has a smaller sensor than the EOS 5D Mark II. Offering 18-megapixel resolution, the 7D is the first EOS camera outside the EOS-1 series to ...
Fast burst mode, solid body, versatile focusing modes, very good high ISO performance
Focusing wasn’t always accurate, could use more accessible focus controls
The Canon EOS 7D is definitely for the action photographer: It has a fast burst mode and captures huge images. Its high ISO performance is very good, but we found its focus to be hit and miss. ...

The obvious decision for anyone looking to buy a Canon is whether to go for the 7D or splash out on the 5D MKII. With the 5D MKII costing around £450 extra, it's not an easy choice. For the most fine-grained image quality, and particularly for profession...
Abstract: Thanks to its new 19 cross-type AF points, its extremely high ISO settings and a burst mode that allows up to eight frames to be captured in one second, the Canon EOS 7D is the natural choice when it comes to photographing action and sport. The camera ...
