Canon 7D reviews round-up
If the reviews are anything to go by (and, well, they generally are), it’s looking like the new Canon EOS 7D is turning out to be a right peach – Competitively priced, it’s as close to a professional camera as what most of us will need – and it’s rather impressive indeed. I’ve done a round-up of some of the reviews that’ve been posted out there so far, and it’s looking rather good. Check it out:
DPreview says “The Canon EOS 7D is a camera that can convince in all areas, and at its current pricing is going to be a very serious competitor for Nikon’s flagship APS-C DSLR, the D300S” – read the full review
PhotographyBlog says “When the Canon EOS 7D was announced at the beginning of September 2009, many people instantly dismissed it because of the lack of a full-frame sensor. On closer inspection, that seems to be their loss, as the 7D is a fantastic APS-C DSLR” – read the full review on PhotographyBlog
Imaging Resource says “This is the camera that Canon enthusiasts, indeed many camera enthusiasts, have been waiting for.” – read the full Canon EOS 7D review on Imaging Resource
TechRadar says “The 7D’s high-ISO performance is hardly bad, and compared to the 5D MKII it’s £200 cheaper, offers twice the maximum frame rate and a significantly more advanced auto-focus system.” – Read the full review on Tech Radar
Photo.net says “The EOS 7D boasts significant EOS advancements including a completely new 19-point Autofocus system, a new Canon iFCL Metering System (Intelligent Focus, Color, Luminance) and a new Intelligent Viewfinder” – Read the full review
Camera Labs says “The EOS 7D is pitched directly against the D300s and clearly intends to become the new high-end cropped body of choice. As such it’s not surprising to find Canon equipping the 7D with a higher resolution sensor along with the addition of more movie modes” – check out their full review
CameraTechnology has a video review, too:
I’m absolutely thrilled with mine. Impressive camera coming from a 5d mki.
