@dapoopta To allow the photographer to see what he or she is shooting. That's how dslr's with optical viewfinders works. But now when some manufacturers are building cameras with "EVF", electronic viewfinder, you don't need a mirror flipping back and forth. Although with a more obscure view of your subject you can indeed have a higher frame rate with such a camera.
alright thanks mate. have found a good site where everything is clear on that part. at dpreview.com you can see you can shoot up to 320 + images large fine... if you have a fast memory card. mark 2 can shoot untill card is full etc. great site for info about slrs etc. i have a sony nex 5n wich isnt as good as an slr. but it does the job and can shoot myself while biking. xd
I never understood why the mirror has to bounce back and forth, why not just make the shutter open and close multiple times. I imagine they could get way more than 8fps then.
@dapoopta because a camera works like this, it opens its shutter so the sensor electronically copies the light in front off it, then the shutter closes making the image through the processor, if it were to be open for a while, the images would be all white because it lets to much light in, make sense?
my cock is bigger than yours!.....what's the point of such burst rates...in reality they don't help you get THAT one important sports pic..but what they do is they make a photographer LAZY! and out of touch with his subject!...photography is all about being one with your camera and the moment..not bashing out a million pics a sec in the vain hope you will have caught the right moment by accident!...lazy modern photography and expensive toys...stick with the basics and learn to take proper pics!
Can someone explain to me? In this and other videos, I see the real 8 fps, but my 7D shooting like 5 or 6 fps. Long exp. noise reduction - disabled, High Iso speed noise reducting - disabled, highlight tone priority -also disabled. I've even restored camera settings, but nothing changed.
@rorrt Actually, it's not a memory card fault. I've tried to shoot without a card, but nothing has changed. So I decided to record video while I was making shooting. I made a video a little bit slower and I counted how many shots Canon makes. Ant it was 8 frames per second (7.5fps for truth). For comparison, in other videos on youtube, I counted even 9fps.
But custumer service said, that there is nothing to worry about.
its weird that although the 1D Mark II and N are only 8.5 fps, its sounds and looks much quicker, although canon's 1D Mark III and IV are machine guns so you can shoot the person and if they are still alive, hit them with the DSLR. that isn't good though
@JohnHFilms nahh, i got it.. i had to change the mode to manual and change a few settings in there, such as: shutter speed, iso, and the aperture i think, if i can remember correctly
@aCTlvlSTs the little "Q" button at the top left of the camera. Go over to where you can set it, looks like a rectangle. then click, and set to "high speed continuous"... there you have it. it took me like 15 minutes to figure out that it wasnt on that setting, and i felt extremely dumb.
thanks for the feedback.. i guess i'll have to check into the manual settings then.. it shouldn't be a big deal.. so is the IS useful if i only shoot sports?? that's all i plan to shoot with the 70-200..
@broncos It works really well as a sports camera :) if you are looking for a good lense it really depends how much you want to spend. often the real ''sport'' lenses are more expensive then the camera body itself.
@EdoSens yeah, i was lookin' at the 100-400 f4.5-5.6 zoom lens and it was pretty pricey.. i'll check out the 70-200 f2.8 without the IS.. i never use the IS anyway.. i don't remember seein' the sports mode on this camera.. how would i go about shootin' sports with the 7d??
@broncos Personally I never really use dedicated modes like 'sports' I prefer using manual settings, or putting the camera in Shutter priority (for sports) to get the best results. With some practice, i really think that might give the best results.
as for a good sports lens, the 70-200mm is a fantastic lens but 200mm might not be enough if you want to take a picture of someone at the other side of a big field. And having IS might be really helpful. I can't do without IS on a real zoom lens.
@EdoSens well you can use some teleconverters in addition to the 70-200. the only thing is you end up slowing down about a stop or two which sucks if you have really low light...
@NerdForMIT good point, if you take a 2x teleconverter on a 70-200 with 2.8 you can change it into a 140-400 5.6 lens. For sports purposes that might be enough seeing most sport events are well lit.
@broncos id say this is a perfect camera for sports! also, a decent lens for shooting sports would most likely be the 70-200mm IS, which costs an average of about $1200... and if im wrong on anything some please correct me :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Look, these are great cameras. No argument. My problem is I dont think people are buying it for the right reasons. If you are not a professional PHOTOGRAPHER and you fancy yourself an amateur (meaning AWFUL) filmmaker like most of these dudes up here that make GOD AWFUL UNWATCHABLE 7D movies then just by an HD camcorder and put a 35 millimeter adapter on it. You will save HUNDREDS of dollars and get a REAL VIDEO camera that gives the same Depth of Field that you think you need.
lol good HD camecorder 4000$ 35 mm adapter with rods and everything = 4000$ total = 8000$ (and you still have poor low light performances) Canon 7D + a decent lens = 3000$ and you have an amazing Hybrid Camera so WTF are you talking about ?
@bellci Yes, but it also lacking a full frame crop. I'm using a 5D MK II, but I would get the 7D if it was full frame. There's been a rumor that a 5D MK III is coming out next year. What do you think of the 60D that is coming out?
@NinjaDKDavid The 60D is very nice,it's a body between 50D and 7D,but closer to 7D.The rotating LCD screen is fantastic,and the 1040k resolution too,altough I think that 920k pixels from my 7D are enough for a 3" screen.
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.
With the improvement technologies over the 50D sensor (gapless, shorter microlenses and double readout), puting 18Mpx keeping out the line of 15Mpx as correct choise, we see how loosing a little low light capabilities. But still is a great camera... I just want buy it... with good lenses of corse to do justice at huge resolution. I think (this is my opinion) the mature technologies can mach easily the 10 Mpx, a 7d with the resolution of 50D would we a perfect match.
mad you could capture anything with that shutter speed! but is the quality still as good? amd is there a nikon that has as fast a shutter speed as the canon 7d?
Each photo is the same quality and everything, in order to get this amount of frames per second the shutter speed for each photo would also have to be quite fast.
I love this camera, I am just having trouble with the HD video it is skiping when it is playing on the comp, anyone know any good video editing software for the HD vids this camera can take?
I wouldn't cycle the shutter too often without the lens... It would suck if your new 7D was full of dust...and the sensor cleaning system isn't made for cleaning dust bunnies.. :)
Any camera that records more than 5mins of HD video get a LOT more tariffs in Europe. Which is why the Nikon's don't make their HD vid shots go over 5mins. Which isn't a big deal, a DSLR is not a replacement of video camera.
This was obviously directly aimed at the D300s and is a copletely different camera then the 5D MKII. The lareger sensor on the MKII is better for landscapes and wide angle work whereas this is more of a sports and action shooter. I have the MKII and will probably grab this as well for those reasons.
No, to have the advantage of the faster shooting, better weather sealing, crop factor with the APC sized sensor, improved AF System....ect. Like I said, two different cameras for different needs.
5d mk2 is a nice camera, but it's completely different, and falls into different price range. first, it's full frame. sometimes it's good, sometimes not. second, autofocus is better on 7D. third, more lenses, some of them are cheap, some are really good. ef-s lenses tend to be smaller and lighter. flash. fps. more video options. the build quality looks to be the same.
I agree with you justentime. 7D and 5d2are 2 absolutely different systems. And I think Canon made these to suit specific needs of the user. I think 1st time buyers would have a hard time deciding b/c of price diff and what it would be used for. I've done weddings and events so I need quick response on focus. I shoot with 2 Mark3's and I think the 7D would be a perfect match. Just keep in mind the "limits" of the 7D where it gets noisey. If situation calls for higher ISO, use other cam(s) :)
As a member of the working press, this is exactly the camera many, many of us will by buying very soon. It might not be the 'perfect' camera for some of you, but it is a very good camera for the rest of us who actually make our living off of our gear.
full frame means the senor is the same size as FILM, what most photographers are used to. However most cameras, including the one in the video above is NOT full frame. It is smaller than film (24x36mm, but called 35mm), most of the time they are around 27mm x ??mm. This means that you have less control over background blur (the signature of SLR photography) and all your lenses are pushed forward 50-60%. Bad for wide angles.
I own the 5D Mark II and if the 7D would have been full frame, that would be upsetting. The 8fps is great, but a little disappointing to me at 3.9. :\
I also own a 5D Mk II and I use it often. Like the camera a lot, also liked it's ability to shoot video clips. What is lacking for me is the fps in burst. Everything's good except it is not fast enough for me in certain situations, such as shooting motorsport. Seems like 7D is going to be an affordable solution for my problem, As it has a smaller sensor, my zoom lens will get a boost of their distances.
Crop camera is a bummer and I'm still trying to find out how big the buffer is. 8 fps does no good without a big enough buffer to hold a few seconds of it...
hi, how can i doo this , with my 7d? thank you

What is the speed of your memory card? That might be the issue. Check the manual to see what is suggested.

It doesn't matter, the camera will shoot until the buffer is full...

I wouldn't cycle the shutter too often without the lens... It would suck if your new 7D was full of dust...and the sensor cleaning system isn't made for cleaning dust bunnies.. :)

8fps 6fps not that important....durability is much more important...i've seen over hundred 40Ds died of shutter problems under 20k actuations....

UK price is an absolute rip off
£1699 Warehouse Express and everywhere else.
$1699 B&H in the US, that's £1071, not even close.

Any camera that records more than 5mins of HD video get a LOT more tariffs in Europe. Which is why the Nikon's don't make their HD vid shots go over 5mins. Which isn't a big deal, a DSLR is not a replacement of video camera.

This was obviously directly aimed at the D300s and is a copletely different camera then the 5D MKII. The lareger sensor on the MKII is better for landscapes and wide angle work whereas this is more of a sports and action shooter. I have the MKII and will probably grab this as well for those reasons.

So you will buy only 7d to have 2x faster shooting?
Thats weird.
5d mark2 is way better than this, except those fps.
Ulxaaf 2 years ago
No, to have the advantage of the faster shooting, better weather sealing, crop factor with the APC sized sensor, improved AF System....ect. Like I said, two different cameras for different needs.
justentime77 2 years ago 4
5d mk2 is a nice camera, but it's completely different, and falls into different price range. first, it's full frame. sometimes it's good, sometimes not. second, autofocus is better on 7D. third, more lenses, some of them are cheap, some are really good. ef-s lenses tend to be smaller and lighter. flash. fps. more video options. the build quality looks to be the same.

I agree with you justentime. 7D and 5d2are 2 absolutely different systems. And I think Canon made these to suit specific needs of the user. I think 1st time buyers would have a hard time deciding b/c of price diff and what it would be used for. I've done weddings and events so I need quick response on focus. I shoot with 2 Mark3's and I think the 7D would be a perfect match. Just keep in mind the "limits" of the 7D where it gets noisey. If situation calls for higher ISO, use other cam(s) :)

As a member of the working press, this is exactly the camera many, many of us will by buying very soon. It might not be the 'perfect' camera for some of you, but it is a very good camera for the rest of us who actually make our living off of our gear.

iliketojumplargeobje 2 years ago
full frame means the senor is the same size as FILM, what most photographers are used to. However most cameras, including the one in the video above is NOT full frame. It is smaller than film (24x36mm, but called 35mm), most of the time they are around 27mm x ??mm. This means that you have less control over background blur (the signature of SLR photography) and all your lenses are pushed forward 50-60%. Bad for wide angles.

1.6 crop factor on a 21mp = 13mp, so.. yes

I own the 5D Mark II and if the 7D would have been full frame, that would be upsetting. The 8fps is great, but a little disappointing to me at 3.9. :\
pilotemtnils 2 years ago
I also own a 5D Mk II and I use it often. Like the camera a lot, also liked it's ability to shoot video clips. What is lacking for me is the fps in burst. Everything's good except it is not fast enough for me in certain situations, such as shooting motorsport. Seems like 7D is going to be an affordable solution for my problem, As it has a smaller sensor, my zoom lens will get a boost of their distances.

NOW is the time to score a 40D or 50D on the used market ;)

Crop camera is a bummer and I'm still trying to find out how big the buffer is. 8 fps does no good without a big enough buffer to hold a few seconds of it...
thombone 2 years ago
The buffer is large enough to about a hundred jpegs or a 2 second burst (15 shots) of RAW images.
The 1D Mark III buffer is ~50 jpegs or about a 3 second burst (30 shots) of RAW images.

I forgot to mention: the 1D Mark III is also $3000 more than the 7D.
unoz0r 2 years ago
Actually it's come down a lot in price. And there is a new coming in November, so by then, the 1D III will be down to about $2000.

THANK YOU for this reply!
thombone 2 years ago
The buffer is actually good since it has dual digic 4 processors. it can shoot raw to a UDMA card up to 14 at 8fps, jpeg fine up to 114
