Even the feature guys are working with it

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

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.

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.

Fantastic!

This is one nice camera!!!

I compared to the Nikon 300S and the only a couple of features were better on the Nikon. The Nikon has a better exposure lock. Canon's exposure lock times out after a few seconds where as Nikon's will stay locked until released. For what it is worth, the Olympus E-30 exposure lock can be toggled on/off with a button press. Some will say HDR is more difficult with the 7D than the Nikon 300S, but there is a work around using the Mode Dial that is pretty easy.

I should have bought this a long time ago instead of waiting for the 60D announcement - I couldn't be more pleased with it.

I have been wanting to upgrade my T1i for a while now, but decided to wait until the 60D was announced to do anything, and then ended up buying a 7D soon after the announcement. I was waiting/hoping to see if the 60D would have features that I wanted for cheaper but.... no such luck. I will probably still try to get my hands on a 60D when it comes out to see how I like it and to give it a review also, but for now I just wanted to express my extreme delight in the 7D. If I knew this camera would be this good, I would have bought it a long time ago.

I say that I'm delighted with the camera for one very big reason: the auto-focus system. It's astounding and better than any camera I have tried yet. I shoot a lot of action shots and wanted a camera that I could quickly attain focus on fast moving subjects. Someone who shoots mainly still/landscape shots or who has no use for the quick autofocus might be satisfied with the T2i or 60D for less money or much happier with the full frame 5D mkII. For me, my decision between the 60D and 7D was made up as soon as I heard the 60D had the same autofocus system of the 50D - a decent 9 point all cross-type autofocus system, but one that can't touch the 19 point all cross-type 7D system. I would have really liked to see at least a slight improvement in the 60D over its predecessor.

The autofocus system on the 7D is nothing short of brilliant and I am attaining close to 10x the number of usable shots than what I was with my T1i before. it allows you to choose several different modes of using it's 19 points. The 19 points on the 7D's system cover the same area that the 50D and 60D's systems do, but they offer more density in that area, which allows you to use modes like point expansion and zone auto-focus. In the point expansion, it uses one point to monitor for focus, but it if can't attain focus based on that one point, it will look in the four surrounding points also. The zone system uses set zones of points to look for focus in. These 2 features have helped me a great deal where before I would be using a single point and hoping to attain focus with it, or use a general all point autofocus, which was not anywhere near as quick. In addition, the 7D has a new spot autofocus feature that will hone in one a particular point that is much smaller than the normal single point autofocus. This helps a great deal in still photos or in action shots where you know where the action will be.

The brilliant autofocus system of the 7D sold me almost immediately, but it also has a wide variety of great features like wireless flash control, a magnesium alloy body (60D is plastic), a horizontal and vertical level (the 60D only has horizontal), and above everything else except for the AF system: a fantastic viewfinder. It offers 100% coverage and 1.0x magnification with a transmissive LCD screen. What this means is that what you see in the viewfinder is what you take a picture of - unlike several other cameras that cut off the edges in the view finder. The transmissive LCD allows you to overlay autofocus zones/spots and grids when you are looking through - very useful.

Now, my one negative aspect about the 7D might actually be a plus for many people: the size and weight. It's pretty hefty and for a person with small hands like me, the camera feels pretty big. A lot of people like the feeling of a large, solid camera though.

There are numerous features and aspects about this camera that I could touch on, but for the sake of brevity, I will just say that I am very pleased with the ISO sensitivity/noise ratio - although I probably won't take too many shots above 1600 and try to stay below 800. The burst rate of 8 shots/sec is fantastic, but for both that and the high def video, I recommend a compact flash card above 133x. I have been using a 133x with okay results, but have overloaded the buffer a couple of times. I will invest in a faster card soon.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the 7D and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone who wants to take nice action shots.
