the 7d is a great camera with a great auto focus system, but the iso performance is horrible, you get noisy pictures even at ISO 200 or in some cases even at 100, shameful! I wish I had bought a 5dmkII at least back then, I no longer have that problem with the D3s, thanks Nikon
@eleetgamer well, I'm an Asian watching this, European watching This, Australian watching this, African watching this, American watching this. so where you come from?
what's wrong with you people? if the guy was white, you all would say oooh he is so hot and bla bla bla. cut the crap and give him a break. he is more human than you stupid racist people.
@cc250honda1 the 1000d is still a very nice camera. you can get the 7d if you want, i personally use it for video, but the stills are amazing. it would also be heavier, it's a 72mm lens not a 58 like the 1000d
one important question, really: is the canon eos 7d the best video-shooting dslr camera these days or is there another one coming this year? I would highly appreciate a response, thanks a lot!
Hey guys, I wanna film professionally, but I don't know which camera to get... The Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i or the Canon EOS 7D... The Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i is only like $1,000 with an extra lens, but the Canon EOS 7D is like $1,800 with an extra lens. Is the extra $800 worth it? Or should I get a totally different camera/camcorder?
@xBananashake45x I would say the EOS 7D if want to save money then the 60D. But i feel the 800 is worth it.. you´ll get more low light sensitivity , better image quality and a hard camera.
@xBananashake45x film professionally or camera, choose one. DSLR is good for HD, but for indie/hollywood you need 2K or 4K and that camera is gonna be 10K
@Smorter ... not its not... the 7d has crosstype sensors ALL with higher precision, and DUAL digic processors, and the 5d sucks at high speed sports, its more of a still/junior/tiny studio photographer.
I bet this guy gets a lot pussy with that voice. He could be talking about AF points and get the girl into bed. As a matter of fact I bet he acquainted himself with that blonde's AF points after the shoot.
@natureworx Hi natureworx it is possible that you haven't read the instructions...sorry if I sound sarcastic but I find it annoying when people expect to pick up such a high end camera with so much adjustability, complex technology behind it and don't bother to find out how it or taking photos works. Now your problem most likely sounds like the drive mode. Do you know what that is? You will find in your manual that there are three settings: single shot, AI assist. and multi shot check it out.
@KapteinFruit 7D er ganske ny, så jeg tror nok det fortsatt er en liten stund til det kommer noe nytt. Men nå er det også slik at man prøver å bygge et speilrefleks som er lett å bruke, og billig, for det er det de fleste leter etter idag. Du burde kjøpe 7D, så verdt det.
Hmm... Ja jeg vil virkelig ha et. Men vet ikke hva jeg skal gå for da. En 27" iMac med en i7 eller et Canon EOS 7D. Jeg har en kraftig spill PC allerede som talker det meste av video programmer og bildeprogrammer og jeg vil oppgradere fra 4GB RAM til 8GB om ikke lenge. Så hav synes du? Jeg tror jeg ville brukt iMac'en mere for editing av spill videoer og annen type editing enn hva jeg vil bruke kameraet til å ta bilder. Må bruker 3,000 kr mer hvis jeg skal ha iMac'en da.
@KapteinFruit iMac er faktisk ganske bra til redigerings program, men det går jo også an å kjøpe tilleggsprogram til din nåværende PC. Og de koster jo heller ikke så mye. Syntes fortsatt du burde ta 7D og kjøpe program for redigering til pc ved siden av.
We shot a feature using the 7D and used 3- 16GB cards. got just under 15 mins on each card and diged as we shot. Worked out really well. Check out our behind the scenes.
Did you shoot 1080? I heard you can get 12 minutes on a 4GB card at 720p? Can you please clear up how much video i can get with 4GB and how much i can get with a 16GB card and at what format? Thanks
I apologize for my typo. I meant to say "40D", not D40. If the EOS 7D does provide better IQ than the 40D, it is not by much. My contention is that Canon added megapixels that are not needed (unless one is printing larger than 16x20) at the expense of dynamic range, which is frequently needed, especially at high ISO settings. This trade-off was also a mistake, given the fact that very few, if any, Canon lenses even resolve image detail at the level of the 4.3µm pixel pitch of the 7D.
I moved to 7D from XTi, which is similar in image quality terms to 40D. I do not care about 18mp photos as I do not need them that large (I store 8-10mp at most), but let me tell you, the ability to crop from 7D shots is phenomenal. It is just something else. With good lenses you do not need any extenders, just crop.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I wish the 7D produced quality images. Features (bells and whistles), not image quality, reigned supreme in the design of the 7D. After spending over 150 hours shooting with this camera and 200 hours in post processing with three different RAW processors, image quality was/is lacking. IQ is not much better, if any, than the D40.
no offense man but you are so wrong. The 7d's image quality is on par with the d300s. In fact I think it's sharper than the d300s in the high isos. My dad has a d40x and I have a 7d and the d40 (although a great cam) really has shitty high iso quality, a super mediocre 3 point autofocus system. For sports photo the d40 is trashed. Even though 8fps isn't that necessary, the d40 uses sd cards (much slower than cf) and it has a really slow buffer. The d40 and 7d just don't compare.
BEFORE purchasing this camera, or dreaming about this camera, please do yourself a favor and google darwin wiggett 7d. Read the detailed review and the comments.
Sadly, this potentially great camera was ruined by the marketing muppeteers at Canon who elected to cram too many megapixels on the small APS-C sensor, thus compromising the purity of the sensel signal.
If the 7D would have launched as a 10mp camera, the 7D would have been incredible. So close, yet so far.
I was really excited about the Canon 7D, but as a photographer I don't want so much technology stuffed in my camera. I want to have fun while photographing, and so I just want an option or two for the focus that work.
True, us old schoolers just like for our cameras to work so we can focus on the art of photography. Consumerism just took over and now we have a do it all camera to confuse us and complicate things when we should be enjoying the art of creating a photo.
not to be a basher, in fact all of you will probably jump on me for this, but didnt the d3 and d300 have all of these features in autofocus (51 point, auto af selelection, single af point, 9, 21, 51 point cluster, and af 3d tracking) two years ago?
Depends on how many lenses you got for your Nikon. Because on a Nikon D300s (which is very similar to the 7D) for example you could reuse those lenses without buying new ones. Another point for the D300 is that you are familiar with the menu.
