You can think of the 7D as a GTi version of the 50D – or a small-sensored high-speed alternative to the EOS 5D Mark II. But to look for family resemblances is perhaps to miss the point. Sure, as you would expect, there are plenty of familiar EOS featur...
Hard-as-nails build quality; ergonomic design; impressive 8-frames-per-second shooting; records 1080p movies; good high-ISO performance
Mediocre detail from kit lens and JPEG processing; occasional exposure howlers
The Canon EOS 7D offers awesome continuous-shooting speeds, an excellent HD movie mode with full manual controls, class-leading resolution, excellent high-ISO performance, and an all-metal, weather-sealed body. It's got a couple of glitches, but it's ...
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. It was able to capture some stunning images, especially in...

Looks pricey, purple fringing on some high contrast shots with 18-135mm kit lens
An accomplished and well-equipped semi-professional camera with professional build and specification that’s capable of stunning results and at high resolution too. It looks expensive, but as a step down from canon EOS 1D Mk III, it makes a lot of se...

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...
