Great product, best quality.

I myself use the 5D Mark ii while the camera was being repaired, I had to use 7D, not many familiar controls, but I figured it out in the evening, then the MAIN PLUS is Zone autofocus if it were in 5D, then it would not have a price, also a big plus HD 720 p at 50 fps! , I worked out the wedding with this camera from the preparations of the bride and groom to boarding the ship, took about 1800 pictures, the camera finished off 3 Akuma 4 cards of 16 GB each plus about 20 minutes of the ceremony…

Pros
  • In my opinion, the most important thing is autofocus myself, I use 5D Mark ii and 7 D wins many times over, while focus with minimal lighting also misses better in about 4 out of 10, and 5D mk2 d 7-8 out of 10
Cons
  • Noises, although they behave very strange, that is, where they should not be, in principle, they beat 5D mk2 at 6400 twice, just like crop 1.6

The product is completely satisfied, performs its functions.

I will write only about the video function in this camera. I've seen pictures taken by him many times. As professionals say, "rings", but there are nuances. It rings only in static, and even if you crack from a tripod. Reportage shooting or just handheld shooting requires a little skill with this camera, but the quality in reportage is still not the same, no matter how hellish a pro you are. Bottom line: there is very little left to the ideal photo and video camera. I think the next generation…

Pros
  • picture quality at the highest level
Cons
  • price

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

To shoot 8 frames per second at 18 MP, you need very high-speed flash drives. I shoot reports at 10MP - then 2 batteries are enough for the whole day and the buffer does not suffocate. If you look at the trend in the XX-series, we have a clear regression and glamorization (50D has worse noise than 40D, 60D has a plastic case and SD flash drives). Therefore, if you need a camera that is not the most expensive for work, then either switch to another brand, or take a 7D. It would be nice to…

Pros
  • Good resolution with good optics. The camera is slick. Management is convenient. In terms of noise, it is very pleasing compared to the 50D. Large dynamic range - you can pull out a lot of information from overexposure in raw files. Dust and moisture protection (not yet useful). The picture on the screen with mega-clearness - the pixel is not visible.
Cons
  • Poor focus in the dark. Compared to the 40D, it's just awful. I don't know, maybe it's a problem with the concise carcass. Too heavy. In AutoISO, the upper limit is not adjusted.

An ideal product for any type of consumer.

What's this? like this? these are not many questions that people who are intimately familiar with canon's marketing policies ask. the presence of a flash and a mount for EF-S class optics has always indicated the initial level of the device. its name puts it on the same shelf with 5D, 1D (crop version, of course), but at the same time it is cheaper than the younger one by as much as 30,000. And here comes the 550D, which in terms of functions is not inferior to many (although there are…

Pros
  • functionally - the most versatile device on the market: it can be both reportage and studio. It is worth mentioning dust and moisture protection and almost full-fledged video mode.
Cons
  • in fact, its only drawback is its incomprehensible positioning in the market.

Im not particularly happy, but basically everything is fine.

Was purchased in February 2022 and successfully sold in November. If you are a reportage photographer, photojournalist or photo hunter on a limited budget, then this is your model, in other cases it is an ordinary crop camera with very high quality performance and good autofocus. The picture quality is absolutely no different from the much younger 550/600/650 / 60d, except that it can only produce much more frames per second in continuous shooting. The battery charge is enough for 3 days of…

Pros
  • Excellent ergonomics, very high-quality body, tenacious autofocus, rate of fire
Cons
  • Crop, often wrong white balance, noise at not very large iso, sticking flash, faded colors in Raw

Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

In general, I am very pleased with the device. At first I thought that the video is pampering, but then I realized that this is a great thing. I make great videos. You can see it here: http://www. Vimeo. Com/user3203061. It is very convenient to adapt the device for any shooting! Quick and easy. The rate of fire is excellent. But at the maximum it shuts up after 2-3 seconds, but with a type 2 card, such a problem can be avoided. Alas, the price bites on them. Having an internal clock helps a…

Pros
  • 1. Excellent video recording 2. Rate of fire 3. Top notch focus 4. Settings for professionals. 5. Comfortable in hands. 6. Electronic level. 7. Built-in flash synchronizer. 8. Availability of programmable modes.
Cons
  • 1. A bit noisy after ISO 2022. 2. Bracketing could be extended to at least 5 frames. Let's hope that it will appear in future firmware. 3. Terribly many settings (this is both a plus and a minus). You have to spend a lot of time learning.

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

I have been using it for a year and a half and for its intended purpose - photographing sports. The first time I aimed at a running person and hatched a series of 8 ks - it was indescribable, the feeling of childish delight and this sound, ah! And then it is also all in focus, chic! Now the eye has become sharper, I see - sometimes it smears, but remembering how I shot it, I understand - I messed it up myself. Because 7D is first of all a TOOL. This is not a gadget or a fashionable trinket - it

Pros
  • + Ergonomics pleases + Not noisy for high ISO crop + Rate of fire. Whenever she starts pounding 8 frames per second, a spark of happiness blooms in my chest. lol + AF is good + never let me down
Cons
  • - Noisy at low ISO - Wish there were more features in customizable buttons - Sometimes, in especially rainy weather, the joystick starts to glitch. But this is just my jamb, as I understand it. And that is not always the case.

Not exactly what I wanted, but basically everything is fine.

I am not a fanatic of any of the competing companies (CANON, NIKON) because I use both cameras! for reporting I use the Canon EOS 1D Mark III with its 10 fps, and for portrait and landscape I use the Nikon D800 with its 36 megapixels, crazy detail and wide dynamic range. Canon EOS 7D is a good device in the amateur segment, but it is sharpened purely for reporting, absolutely without any claim to the artistry of the picture. At first glance, the working ISO is pretty high, but only for…

Pros
  • Good autofocus, ergonomics, reliability
Cons
  • Narrow dynamic range, low working ISO, autofocus errors in borderline conditions (super bright natural light and vice versa lack of light)

I like it, thanks for the quality product.

Faced with the following problems: 1 when turned on, the screen does not turn on - you need to press the INFO button, it has three screen modes. 2 on the mode with shutter speed and aperture, the mirror rises when the button is pressed and falls when you press it again - in the menu you need to disable mirror blocking (for each mode it is done separately) 3 blue pictures - there was a fluorescent lamp and I shot with a flash (I liked rather unusual photos ) 4 user modes C1 C2 C3 are not saved -

Pros
  • after the soap - Delight. I shot in manual focus and with the stabilizer turned off, everything works out even with the first shots.
Cons
  • probably the price, although the fotik is worth it and made in Japan.

Nice price, good quality.

Experience of use - over 5 years. It turned out to be a very controversial device. I don't even know how to rate it. Definitely, it doesn’t pull on the ideal, 3 points seem to be not enough, and 4 is a lot. Somewhere in between. The functionality is rich, ergonomics are at an acceptable level, autofocus of 20 lenses can be adjusted individually. So I had to adjust mine: one in plus, the other in minus. But the strong noise in the photo is depressing. Therefore, each, even despite the minimum…

Pros
  • Fast autofocus, functionality, richness of settings, price.
Cons
  • Noises. Excessively strong matrix noises. Both color and brightness.

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

I myself own a 1D mark III. A colleague bought a 7D, on this occasion they began to compare cameras by themselves. Was pleasantly surprised. In tracking autofocus, the 7D is not inferior to the 1Dmk3. Sometimes it seems to me that even surpasses. In terms of noise up to ISO 3200, 7D has a small loss, which is almost leveled by the larger image size. At ISO 6400, on the contrary, 7D noise is slightly lower. The viewfinders are the same. Switching to presets C1, C2, C3 in 7D is even more…

Pros
  • Excellent autofocus. Noticeably better than the 40D/50D. Zone focusing is very handy. The rate of fire is excellent, almost like the 1D. Bright viewfinder with bold focus points. Gorgeous screen. Presets C1, C2, C3 on the wheel. There are many small tweaks to settings that were previously only available in 1D. The built-in flash finally became the leader. Excellent video footage. New button for LiveView/Video. Lots of shots on one charge.
Cons
  • There is no audio commentary for the photo, although there is a microphone. Well, they should have added such a function to the menu? New chip batteries. If you buy third-party batteries, then they need their own charger and the camera will not display their charge. But it will shoot, at least thanks for that. Thought-out horizontal handle (must be done like Nikon, so that 3 batteries are inserted). Customizable buttons have few options for selecting functions. Noises are ugly, dirty, they do not look like film grain. If you pull it up, then the noise in the shadows climbs too high. If you don't pull, it's fine. The camera heats up while recording video. Slightly reduced grip compared to 40D/50D. Anyway, I don't really like this streamlined design.

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

A little more than two years have passed since the acquisition of this model. Since the seven was announced, I realized that I need this camera. I really love creative, artistic photography, and I understand perfectly well that this requires a full frame, so I still want a 5d mark 2, and this camera will be my next purchase. But it so happened that I earn money mainly on reporting. And when I first started using the seven, I was completely satisfied with the performance of this camera. Focusing

Pros
  • 1. Focus 2. Rate of fire 3. Ergonomics 4. Detailing 5. Build Quality 6. Viewfinder 7. Great video
Cons
  • Perhaps the noise from ISO 800 will seem strong to someone, but this is more likely to be a nitpick.

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

Of course, this is not a full frame. Someone wrote about the battery capacity - funny))) I don’t know what they used to shoot before, but one thing is enough for me for 2-3 days of active photography with an optical stabilizer in the lens. 7D is trained to fall asleep if not used for a long time, and wake up on the first press. Seriously filming video and reviewing the footage on the screen will reduce battery life to half a day. But who shoots video with one battery? Buy a second - not…

Pros
  • Excellent indestructible device! Pass through fire and water. Here is a great test of this camera: http://www. Youtube. Com/watch?v=RCT-YMgjm9k. They burn him, throw him, freeze him, drown him, and he still shoots.

I definitely recommend buying, I didn't notice any disadvantages.

I have been using the camera since the end of December last year. At first I was a little taken aback by the settings and features, but then I got used to it. The camera has never let me down. Yes, the matrix is ​​a bit dark compared to the Nikons, but this is a characteristic of the canon in general. Noise up to ISO800 is generally absent. Shooting video with a good lens is easy and simple. My recommendation - if you are a beginner, then you definitely do not need this camera. If you are…

Pros
  • Good reporting camera. Robust housing, good video shooting, low noise, the ability to hang any optics
Cons
  • not the best paint coverage. For half a year of active use, the lower edge was demolished to the metal, but this is not important. When shooting a video, the battery is very actively "eating", which is quite usual, however.

I'm impressed! Exactly the product deserves your attention.

You can talk about how I came to buy 7d for a long time. I used to shoot on the Panasonic HVX-204, and for the photo I already had a Nikon d700 with an average fleet of lenses. The choice was between GH1, 5d mk2, 60d and of course 7d. But due to the shortcomings of each: weak HDMI in 60d and 5d (+ lack of slow motion in the latter). on GH1 you can’t find accessories anywhere, and you can’t flash it anymore. I sold Panas with his expensive P2-card (30 thousand for 32 GB) and bought a 7d fully…

Pros
  • First of all, Video Features: - simply amazing video. even better than Mark 2 if you don't go beyond ISO 2022. - the ability to shoot at 50 frames per second. - Normal HDMI output with normal output during recording (in 5D Mk2 and 60D everything is very deplorable in this regard) - Pleasant ergonomics due to the fact that the 7d was initially pushed towards video functions, as evidenced by a separate "Start-Stop" button. - Ability to rotate aperture during recording (handy for reportage shooting when there is no time to stop recording or rotate ISO) - Recording mode 1920-1080 24p and 25p (NOT 30p (!) like Mark 2). That is, immediately cine framerate and more native PAL and not foreign and inconvenient NTSC. - lies in the hand very comfortably, unlike the 3- (550d) and 2- (60d, 50d) -digit younger brothers. In this regard, it is absolutely similar to Gloom 2. - very good color reproduction due to which video cameras for 150-200 thousand (for example, Panasonic HVX-204) smoke well aside. I've seen better only with SONY DSR-400 for 450 thousand, but this is a TV camera with a low resolution for cinema and an old 4-3 aspect ratio. - again, unlike camcorders, real 1080p progressive scan (a stone in the garden SONY A580, A55 with 1080i format, which is only suitable for shooting trips to Thailand and for other "home videos") - the best ratio "price / quality / functionality" and I think this applies not only to the video component. Advantages of "PHOTO" (I won’t note much, since I don’t take pictures much, leaving this work to more competent people in this regard): - Being also the owner of the Nikon D700, I immediately say that the 7d has one advantage . namely, with budget Nikon optics (via an adapter), for some reason it gives a softer picture. - works great with Canon 50mm 1.4 and 50mm 1.8 if you don't try to shoot with autofocus. - with a good memory card, continuous shooting can shoot continuously for a very long time. Apparently, the second Digik4 is primarily used here. - Convenient viewfinder.
Cons
  • I will summarize the disadvantages of the camera in one column: - I came across a broken pixel in the matrix, which, in principle, is not visible until you start shooting video at high ISOs (but still, why can't the camera ignore it or replace information from neighboring pixels?) - ugly video container, at least there is no "1280-720 24p" mode, which is why only 80 minutes of video can fit on 32 GB. - the battery is quickly eaten up (for me, the battery pack is not an option, because otherwise I will not put the camera on the body kit). Cheap Lenmar batteries fix all this. - when using chip adapters with M42, the camera starts to periodically sharply open and close the digital "hole" (regardless of what value is set on the lens)

Very high quality product, it's not the first time I bought it.

Of course, I would like 1d mark IV, but what they bought they bought)) As a reporter, the shutter speed and autofocus speed were critical for me. This is enough here. I don’t compare it with the five, all the same classes are different. it should be compared with crops, and so among crops I put it in a well-deserved second place after the notorious brand 4. After they brought it to me, it took me 20 minutes to adjust it for myself, then I corrected the picture in the course of work and that's…

Pros
  • quality! the quality of everything, from the device itself, to what it can do (in the right hands of course))), the plasticity of personal settings, a large selection of video parameters, shutter speed ! since 1d marks, but still. ). In general, you can take the instructions and just copy-paste here))
Cons
  • Well, it’s hard to find flaws here, rather, flaws that absolutely do not affect the quality of the picture. This is a built-in puff (nah, it’s not clear here), well, the main problem of the seven is crop (although with FF there wouldn’t be that shutter speed)

Not exactly what I wanted, but basically everything is fine.

Experience: Canon 300D, Canon 20D, Canon 7D. Compared to the "old lady" 20D, there are much more functions - Live View, video, the screen is large. But this is all "decoration", advertising in price lists. But in essence. In terms of image quality, the device has become significantly worse - almost all (90%) of the pictures are not sharp (not blurry due to handlessness, namely, not sharp, even from a tripod). Tested many times on lenses: * Canon 50 mm, F1.8 - not even close to focus; *…

Pros
  • The ability to focus while looking at a large screen and seeing the image in real size (Live View) Self-cleaning of the matrix (I hope that it really cleans, in any case it beeps - before, when it was not there, this was a problem) Fast burst shooting
Cons
  • Drains battery quickly Disgusting autofocus (rather, almost none) It is impossible to change the format from RAW to JPEG with one movement of the hand (relevant when _urgently_ you need to "shoot" the longest possible series) There is no standard "sport" mode on the wheel. It used to be and was useful. The battery is not compatible with the old one (upgrade problem) Video without autofocus in the process of shooting (why is it then at all ?!)

Completely standard product, nothing remarkable.

Yes, fotik-for-fifty kopecks already inspires some hope . However, the picture quality is very little superior to the ancient Canon EOS 400d, which served faithfully for 5 years . What for did you sell, you ask? . Loshara.) Goodbye night shooting. Exposures longer than 2-3 seconds should not be used, because a few extra red and blue "stars" will appear - hot areas about 5-6 by 10-12 pixels in size. I have 7 such colored ovals. You can do a REMAP at a service center, but then these pixels will…

Pros
  • A fairly balanced machine that allows you to take good photos under normal lighting conditions. Fast autofocus if the lens is USM, high definition photos at low ISO values, high burst speed if the card is fast. Sturdy case, high quality materials and workmanship.
Cons
  • The impossibility of working with high ISO, the maximum acceptable value for me is 400. An abundance of hot pixels. Strong aberrations, even on L lenses. Slow focusing speed and misses in low light, no backlight. Conflict with some third party external flash units. Lies colors under artificial lighting.

I didn't like it, I don't recommend buying it.

For a year and a half of use, it was possible to compare and draw conclusions. My main camera is the first 5d. For a long time I could not understand what was the matter, until I specially took two cameras and took the same pictures in the same conditions on the same lenses. Filmed with native Canon 50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.8, 17-40mm L. As a result, the main disadvantages of the seven: - very often mistaken with focus in the dark and in bright sunlight - even at iso100 there are no details. This is

Pros
  • Good case, in the hand lies comfortably, quite durable. Excellent rate of fire. Batteries are usually enough for ~ 1500-2022 shots.
Cons
  • The picture quality does not differ from different 500d / 600d / 700d. Just disgusting detailing on any iso, in halftones there is only dirt. After ISO400, the photo completely loses volume, although there is not much noise on it as such. A meaningless number of focus points, in poor lighting, there is still a very large percentage of misses. In the bright sun, it also often smears.

The best thing I've ever used, a great item for everyone!

The perfect camera for reportage photography! if you are short on 1D :) in AI SERVO mode, practically without losing f/s, it focuses on what you want :) with a long recording, the form heats up and cuts down the recording . but this is in a hot room and at a high ISO value there is not enough sport mode when you need to shoot something quickly, and when you don’t care about quality, but there are 3 customizable modes for this :) in general, a wonderful camera if you use it for its intended

Pros
  • -number 7 in the title -8fps -powerful screen -switch start/stop -19 cross focus points - convenient multi-controller - dust / moisture protective case - flash control - amazing focusing speed!
Cons
  • -expensive memory card -decently eats battery (saves the battery pack) - it was possible to have more manual functions on the buttons . -small series for RAW - heavy, but I do not consider this a disadvantage :)
