![]() I wish the options on the top knob were spaced out more. I end up just manually focusing if I’m in Live view. Live view focusing doesn’t really work well for me, hunts a lot, sometimes decides it can’t focus. On the Canon i have to go into a menu, twice, once to set exposure bracketing, then to set the drive mode. Exposure bracketing is one, on the Minolta it was just 2 clicks on the switch on top to take multiple, successive photos of different exposures. I may have been spoiled by the Minolta 7D with all the buttons, switches and knobs that made anything and everything quickly accessible, on the Canon I don’t like going into menus to do some things. I love mine, takes great photos and videos, but I will take a different approach with my review and share what I don’t like. ![]() It’s a great camera, as reviews on eBay and around the internet will say. I purchased this 7D from eBay to upgrade from my older 7D (Minolta Maxxum 7D). While the 60D was the dumbed-down version of the 7D, and I knew this, it is still a much more sophisticated and better-handling body. The image quality is very similar to my old 60D, which it shares an 18mp sensor with, and it also has comparable battery life (read: very good).Įven with all of my experience shooting with different bodies, the 7D feels even more complex than my a99ii did. The AF system was great for its day, and it still can compete with much more expensive bodies in the hands of a professional. The dual processors make it feel like a Corvette compared to my old 60D's Malibu. This is my first camera that uses Compact Flash cards, and I have to admit the 7D writes files very fast because of it. Maybe it is due to not having any lag time for when you put the camera up to your eye and shoot, not sure. Topping out at 8 shots per-second, it feels as fast as my Sony a77 and a99 bodies were even if it technically is slightly slower. The camera is legendary for being the most weather-sealed non-flagship camera of its day, and it still screams durability. It was the Sony A9 of its day.įast-forward to 2022, and the 7D feels distinctly more rugged than any camera I have ever owned (Canon 60D, Canon 6D, Sony Sony a77, Sony a77ii, Sony a99ii, Sony a7r, Sony a7riii, Sony a7c, Sony a6000 and Nikon d40) and distinctly heavier as well. ![]() Buying this camera for $160 shipped with 42K shutter actuations on it feels like a steal. The Canon 7D was one of the best sports and wildlife cameras in the world when it was released in 2009 for $1700. ![]() Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Aruba, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan Republic, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belgium, Belize, Benin, Bermuda, Bhutan, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Brazil, Brunei Darussalam, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Canada, Cape Verde Islands, Cayman Islands, Central African Republic, Chad, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Democratic Republic of the Congo, Denmark, Djibouti, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Fiji, Finland, France, Gabon Republic, Gambia, Georgia, Germany, Ghana, Gibraltar, Greece, Greenland, Grenada, Guatemala, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kiribati, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Latvia, Lebanon, Lesotho, Liberia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macau, Macedonia, Madagascar, Malawi, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Malta, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mexico, Moldova, Monaco, Mongolia, Montenegro, Montserrat, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nauru, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Niger, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Republic of Croatia, Republic of the Congo, Romania, Rwanda, Saint Helena, Saint Kitts-Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Solomon Islands, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Suriname, Swaziland, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Thailand, Togo, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Turks and Caicos Islands, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Vatican City State, Vietnam, Wallis and Futuna, Western Samoa, Zambia, Zimbabwe ![]()
