A Whole New Class of EOS.
With a host of brand new features designed to enhance every facet of the photographic process, from still images to video, the new EOS 7D represents a whole new class of camera.
Made to be the tool of choice for serious photographers and semi-professionals, the EOS 7D features an all-new 18.0 Megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor and Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors, capturing tremendous images at up to ISO 12800 and speeds of up to 8 fps. The EOS 7D has a new all cross-type 19-point AF system with improved AI Servo AF subject tracking and user-selectable AF area selection modes for sharp focus no matter the situation. The EOS 7D’s Intelligent Viewfinder, an entirely newly-designed technology, provides 100% coverage and displays user-selected AF modes as well as a spot metering circle and on demand grid lines. New iFCL Metering with 63-zone dual-layer metering system uses both focus and color information to provide accurate exposure even in difficult lighting. The EOS 7D also captures Full HD video at 30p (29.97 fps), 24p (23.976 fps) and 25p with an array of manual controls, including manual exposure during movie shooting and ISO speed selection. The EOS 7D features a magnesium alloy body that is dust- and weather-resistant and shutter durability of up to 150,000 cycles. Compatible with over 60 EF and EF-S lenses as well as with EOS System accessories, the creative opportunities – not just with stills but also with video – are beyond amazement.

4 Stars Wonderful Machine. The lens, nothing especial.
I’ve recently buyed a EOS 7D. I’m delighted with the purchase.

It has a impressive technology.

It takes wonderful photographs.

The bestbuy for an amateur, on the verge of a professional machine.

4 Stars 7D or 40D and New Camcorder
I am an avid Canon SLR supporter and have owned the 20D, 30D & 40D. I am not a professional photographer per say, but I do wedding and event photography by word of mouth customers, So I do know something about the canon D-SLR line.

I had been contemplating upgrading to the 50D, but experiencing a lack of significant changes from the 20D on up I held off. Then the 7D came out with its claim to fame of its HD capability. I had been trying to decide to add video to photo lineup and when Canon offered the 7D with HD, it appeared both of my needs had been answered.

I am disappointed to say, that the video option of the 7D is not much to write home about. There is no auto-focus or exposure capability. You basically are entering live vue, press the half shutter to get the initial focus and exposure and then video from there. If your distance or exposure changes, your only option is to hit the auto-focus button, which has limited succes and travels in and out several times to find a setting. This is also very noisey depending on the lens you are using and is picked up very loudly on the audio recording. Yes, you can use remote mics, but again more money more set up for a one stop product. Please note, this is not just a low light issue either. It had similar problems outdoors in day light. Its amazing that canon makes other low end cameras like the Rebel and the SX1IS that do this dual mode with all the bells and whistles, but ther professional level SLRs do not.. If you want great sharp video and stills get the SX1IS for the everyday vaca shooting its great.

As far as an improved SLR, to many improvements to list. New sealed body for outdoor stuff, fast focus and focusing selections, with new info screen for ease of reading and changes. Again many many improvements, and definately several steps above the 40D. If your buying because of the HD, stick with you 40 or 50D and get a camcorder or the SX1IS…

5 Stars Canon 7D – a great buy for the price
Heavier than my old Canon Digital Rebal but packs a lot more punch. I have to hunt for some of the menu options but I’m getting used to it. I shot an HD video of a rental condo I own and the video feature worked very well.

I really appreciate the feature to shoot in JPG but to switch to JPG and RAW with the touch of one nicely placed button. Easy to switch from photo to video. The lens that comes with the camera (if you buy the basic lens and body option) has a much nicer range than my original rebal lens.

This is a fantastic camera, in regards to options, for an intermediate level photographer. There are lighter, smaller cameras that are easier to use but this camera has far more features and the ability to shoot in 1080p HD video.

4 Stars Great Features compared to XT, AF on the soft side
I had the Rebel XT (350D) for three going four years, and yes it is a awesome camera!

when I was looking for an upgrade to my rebel XT the T1i look really great, but then came the 7D and all of the new AF features and video. I think that the rebel body is lean and small even more now having a XD body.

If your on a budget the rebel T1i is a great upgrade with more MP (al dough with 8MP is more than enough) good video Q, live view and better high ISO performance than the XXXD and if you like the rebel series bodies then you should go for it, now if you don’t mind the video The 50D offers higher ISO and FPS than the rebel series and better IQ overall.

7D !!! :

I do recommend the upgrade to any one moving in that direction. The size is no issue when you get all that features, and it feels really good solid and hefty in your hands. The FPS & AF Are Fast. The high ISO performance is amazing comparing it to the XT, the low light focus and results are simply great. The AF points and versatile setup is so much better than the XT there is no comparing it.

The view finder and the LCD screen are just awesome… you cannot compare it to the Rebel 350D its on another league.

The battery life is longer, you can record RAW a JPG on at the same time or choose to do it with a press of a button. And the list of features goes on.

I Think that there is still much potential on the 7D via firmware cos it’s a awesome piece of hardware, no matter what they say.

18-270mm Tamron VC ( got it last year to upgrade the Rebel and now use with the 7D )

50D :

I think (money wise) that a Canon 50D is a good upgrade (IQ compared to the 7D) and don’t care for the video or faster AF.

If you are looking for the most IQ available today, it’s no brainer that the 5DMII is the choice (and don’t mind the extra money) performs better in low light than the 7D. Now the 7D is faster on Focus and in FPS, so if youre a sports shooter or wildlife photographer the 7D will suit you more.

Hope it helps you decide

The AF is not 100% accurate all the time ( got in touch with Canon Tech and they say maybe its because on the Tamron Lens? ) I get a bit soft images that you can improve with PP but overall you get very good IQ ( if want excellent IQ get the 5DMKII )

Highly Recommended!

5 Stars Canon’s Customer Relations
Ever had a problem with a camera? Ever missed the e-tailers 30 day return policy? Ever had to return the camera to the manufactor for repairs? Well, I have. To shorten this story I would like to say Canon stands behind their products. My 7d’s problem was an unidentifed error message(no number). This error occured whenever I made any adjustments or control changes. I returned the camera to Jamesburg, NJ with a full explaination and believe or not got the camera back in eight days. Alas, it had the same problem. I then called the factory tech and explained the problems. She transfered me to the Customer Relations Dept. where they did not fiddle around with excuses, they replaced the camera with a new copy. They also paid all shipping. My past expericences have not been close to this gradifing. I have not read the Canon warranty, but I feel they could have thrown me into the cycle of shipping and reshipping only to return to the fact that I would have had no confidence in the $1,700.00 repaired/unrepaired camera.

I was able to take about 280 exposures with the camera before the onious errors occured and found the 7d is a delight to use. Most exposures were clean and crisp, some where perhaps a little soft on the edges. As I only shot in RAW with little post processing I was very happy with my results.

5 Stars Very happy with my new camera!
This is the second Canon Rebel camera that I have had. The first was a 35mm that I loved and was very happy to purchase the same in digital. I haven’t had it very long to be able to compare the quality of the photos but so far I really like that the feel of the camera is similar and the shutter speed is fast. I also purchased the same camera so that my old lenses would fit. It is very easy to use, turn it on, take off the lens cap and shoot.

4 Stars cool beans
very nice dslr. Huge difference from a conventional dig. camera. So far the photos that we have shot are very viverant and sharp. i still use kodak image editor though because of my printer. very nice camera. this does not take short movie clips, kinda weak considering all the other cameras at this price point do.

3 Stars Canon XSi great for recreational photos, not a workhorse.
We received a couple of new Canon XSi Digital rebels for crime scene work. Right out of the box one of them had battery issues. Last night at a homicide scene in sub freezing temps mine completely crashed. The associated speedlight couldn’t communicate with the camera resulting in underexposed, blurry night pictures. Then the camera began shutting down intermittently. I had to put it back in the car for several minutes until it began to operate again. Finally, after over an hour of annoying, unannounced shutdowns it started doing what it’s supposed to. The pictures it takes are nothing short of spectacular. I love the design and the interface. Overall a great camera. I’m afraid, however I will have to stick with my erstwhile Canon S2is. It may have fewer megapixels and tons of scratches and scars but it always turns on and takes pictures no matter what. Canon makes great cameras. They dropped the ball on these.

5 Stars Xsi good camera good price
I am a pro shooter who got this camera to use for fun and trips were i would be mad if i damaged my high end $$$ body.(like skiing) Any way i love the camera so far. I have not had the problems that i have read about with the auto focus or image quality. You however can not take this camera out of the box and get the best pictures it can take. they will be ok but you need to take the time and set up your camera. READ the book if you dont know what your doing. I got the kit camera with the 18-55 IS lens and it is ok. The camera takes much better pictures with my 35-350 72mm L lens on it, as will any camera, spend your money on the glass not the body.

If you want a good camera for the price this is the one for you. If you have older EOS cameras your old lenses will work with the new camera. I also use my 430EZ flash that is from my A2 EOS film camera, it is way over powering in the auto mode (as it is not a E-TTL flash only a TTL) but it works if you manual set it, for inside i use 1/16 or 1/32 (up to 10-15 feet works great) out side i set it to full power and i can light up a subject 100 feet away! (it is great for that)

If you have used a EOS before this works about the same. even from my old film EOS to this one, the basic-mid advance functions are the same.

BEWARE were you but from online. do not buy from a company who dose not have a good reviews (reviews not rating, and read the bad ones too). Personally i will not buy from 17st photo out of NY, to many nightmare stories . i try to buy from amazon directly and will do a lot of review reading if my item is supplied by anyone other than them. Spend a few extra $$ to make sure you can send it back it their are any problems. you will get what you pay for.

5 Stars Great SLR for price
This camera is a great digital SLR for the price.

Coming from regular point and shoot Canons and Sony around 7MP, this camera blows them away in image quality and is just as easy to use as the point and shoots.

Make sure to invest in quality UV or other quality lens protection depending on your intended use for the camera.

Also, getting the higher zoom lens is a must-have with this camera, although most of your pictures will be taken in the 18-55 range with the lens that comes with the camera.

Only thing that could improve on this camera would be to be able to see the picture on the LCD before shooting(like a point and shoot), but I suppose that defeats the whole digital SLR camera’s history and function.

5 Stars Canon Battery Pack
I am a professional photographer and have owned a variety of pro version cameras. I have bought ‘no name’ brands and the camera name brand batteries for all my cameras (Fuji and Canon). It really does make a difference. The actual name brand will last much longer. I bought two Canon LP-E5 Battery Packs through Amazon-by far the lowest price of ANY other retailer selling the Canon brand! Once I find the product I am looking for price dictates where I purchase. My batteries have staying power! This was a good purchase.

5 Stars Canon 50D is all that!
Former Sony A100 user never was quite happy with the Sony quality overall after 3 yrs.

I decided to become a Canon Gal this past September 09!

Now there is no turning back!

I use my equipment professionally and for personal as well.

I can’t wait to upgrade in 2 yrs for the 5DMII cause if the results from a crop are this good I can imagine with the full frame!

Absolutely recommend this to anyone, if not the 50D, any Canon will do.

5 Stars The Canon 50D is everything it’s supposed to be!
Hey, Canon fans! If you’re like me, you have put off buying this camera because it costs a bit more than the Rebel line. When you weigh the camera differences against the cost difference, I promise you that the 50D will come out on top. I previously have owned two Rebels. The kit lens (28-135mm USM IS) is very good also. I may never be able to afford Canon’s outstanding L-series lenses, but the Canon lenses I do have are Image Stabilized and work perfect for me. The camera is built like a tank and is a little bigger and heavier than the Rebels, but that ends up making the camera feel better in my hands, and I am of average build. The 50D is packed with pro features plus Live View, and is more light sensitive than any other camera I have owned. Amazon had the best price and they had it in my hot little hands in just a few days! Outstanding camera. Outstanding price. Outstanding company… Amazon!!! You may regret putting off this purchase any longer.

5 Stars Still the best small body DSLR today
I did a lot of comparison between so many DSLR camera around this price and even bought a Canon EOS 1000D in the beginning.

I also had the Nikon D40, which was pathetic and disappointing.

This 50D does not disappoint at all.

Robust build quality, decent portability, great battery life, amazing features, image quality, not to mention the admission to join the biggest used camera stuff: lenses, etc.

For this kind of price, it will beat anything else out there: Sony, Pentax, Nikon, etc.

The higher ISO is actually quite amazing, compared to the newer 7D, it only losses after Extended ISO (12800>)

Enough said about this camera, if you’re not planning to do any HD filming then save $700 and get this instead of the new 7D.

5 Stars Canon EOS 50D 15.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom Lens
What I can say? I must say They are GREAT PRODUCTS! They are very easy to use and result of pictures are great. That makes me kind of like a pro.

5 Stars Canon has done it again !
Once again Cannon has done it! This camera is well made, easy to use, takes breathless pictures and has unlimited resources available to teach you how to expand your horizons in digital photography. I am a

the best professional photographer’s out there! Cannon makes it easy.

4 Stars Works as you’d expect it to
Buy it if you need the distance without line of sight. The infrared remotes are completley annoying and inferior to this one.

5 Stars Best toy ever!
This product works very well. I use it with a Canon Rebel and it does exactly what it says it does. The is probably the best purchase I have made for my camera…the only trouble I had was in Burst Mode it kept going and going (could have been user error) overall, great product.

4 Stars Works well
No more running while the timer is ticking down. And it is a great solution for long exposures on macro work to avoid motion artifacts and for sharpest focus. Note when you receive the package, the included batteries are wrapped in a clear plastic that is not obvious and isn’t mentioned in the manual. They will appear to be dead because there is no electrical contact till the clear packaging is removed.

5 Stars Wireless Remote Review
I’ve used the remote release in various wather conditions…even wrapped it in a “baggie” and used it on several rainy days. I put the camera and remote release in a plexiglass housing and took a few underwater photos of coral (shallow) and fishes….Though it is not advertised as such, the radio transmitter device works just fine underwater at a distance of at least 20 feet. I like the device and will buy one more for a spare.

5 Stars Perfect for Family Portraits
I purchased this product because I wanted to take family portraits and the first one I purchased didn’t work well at all It was good only at a distance of 13ft. This one can handle 300+ feet. It worked like a charm and I got great family photos without spending an $800 sitting fee for a photographer who would not give me the copyrights. I saved a bundle!

I was looking online for a new video card and the one I found required me to have a 600 watt or higher power supply. I found this great deal on an 850 watt power supply. It runs quiet and was easy to install. I thought I had forgot a step because I was done in a matter of minutes. I have installed power supplies before but, this was very simple. I love the mesh cables, makes it very easy to manage. I don’t have any cons at this timne.

5 Stars Great high end camera for the amature
I am now just returning to the SLR type of camera after many years of using a simpler point and shoot type. My current point and shoot camera was a Canon, so I began my investigation with the Canon line of dSLR cameras. My first effort was to go by the local “brick and mortar” stores to get some “hands on” feel. After looking at a variety of other cameras, it soon became evident that the T1i was the camera that would best fit my needs as a very active amateur photographer. The factors that caused me to choose this camera: very good feel in my hand; easy to see and to use controls; a very large 15.1 MP picture size; 3.5 fps speed which fit nicely into the type of pictures I wanted to take; a good price point to reenter the SLR arena; Canon’s reputation in the dSLR field; my experience with former Canon cameras as well as with a currently owned Canon HD movie camera; the availability of a large variety of Canon lenses as well as their prices. In the 30 days that I have owned this camera, I have taken over 1,200 shots. The camera has lived up to all of the expectations that I have come to expect from Canon cameras and look forward to using this camera for many years to come.

5 Stars First DSLR
The Canon Rebel T1i is my first DSLR and it’s a good beginners DSLR. It consists of a little bit of everything. ISO isn’t the best but enough to shoot in low light. [it does get noisy anything higher than ISO 800] The interface is easy to get used to. The price was unbeatable at the time I bought it!

4 Stars First DSLR
I’ve always loved photography and wanted an SLR for 15+ years. When the digitals came out, I knew I needed one but the quality was nowhere near film. After about 10 years of the digitals being out, the quality/price ratio has finally become acceptable to me. I started looking and was set to buy the XSi. Right when I was about to buy the XSi, the T1i with HD VIDEO and a host of other features was announced. I held off again until the price on the T1i was to where I wanted it.

I love this camera. The PQ is amazing and I can get so many new and dramatic shots with the versatility. I’ve joined an online Canon Photography forum and received a ton of help and inspiration. The automatic modes work but why would you buy an SLR and use the auto-modes? The only problem with the camera is I’m going to have to blow a ton of money on lenses. Oh well.

2 Stars just a battery that does what it should
WAY too expensive for what it is: just a rechargeable battery that is worth about $5. Canon should be proud of themselves for EXTREME price gouging. They could charge $10 for this item, make a huge profit doing so, and not alienate their customers.

The electrical capacity is ok, but not great. And the “smart” feature is slightly better than useless. Yes, it is nice to see how much charge is remaining, but that feature is not worth the $50+ that Canon robs you for.

I tried a generic battery for about $10 (including its own charger), but that battery was physically slightly too big and it jammed in the camera and had to be pried out. This Canon battery fits properly, so I’m stuck buying Canon batteries until I can find a generic that fits.

5 Stars One just isn’t enough…
For anyone who thinks this battery is expensive, I say “You must be new to digital photography!”. Ever since I got a camcorder a decade ago, then later started using little digital cameras, and now finally the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, battery power has been an issue. Gone are the days of mechanical SLR’s with little button batteries for the meter!

Today’s electronic image-making devices use major power. Without a good battery, you have nothing but a brick. I have developed a habit of having plenty of power available. I purchased the battery grip so I could put two batteries in the camera, and have the AA-battery clip in reserve. I want to take pictures not drive tent stakes with my brick!

These batteries provide plenty of power to shoot. But as the manual warns, the more you review your images, the more you use Image Stabilization; the more you auto-focus, the faster the batteries will drain. And if it’s cold outside…. You want to have power to spare if you’re serious about making images. These are the batteries you want. Don’t fool yourself into saving a couple dollars on a generic battery – you will not get a real savings. They don’t provide as many charge cycles and they don’t report their status as well. It’s not worth the savings!

5 Stars Buy Canon or go home!
Buy this Canon brand battery for you 5D Mark ll. It’s worth the price for the battery info feature of your Mark ll. Go Canon or go home!

4 Stars Not bad at all…
Bought this to breathe life into an old iPod Mini. The microdrive died and I discovered that a CF card is basically the same thing, just flash memory vs a moving disc. While this card might not be the fastest, it works perfecty as storage media for my iPod Mini. It must be fast enough to handle me flipping through my playlists, because I haven’t encountered any issues with it lagging yet.

3 Stars Good but not for HDSLR
This is a very cheap and good card but not to be used for HDSLR or DSLR. The reason is very simple that this card is too slow. Let me explain this in a simple way the write speed of this card is 133x or 20mb/s (Value of X = 150 Kbps, so 133 times 150kbps) should be good enough for a general use in a DSLR with burst of 3 or 4 fps shooting with no HD video..

I bought it for Canon EOS 7D with 8fps shooting and capable of recording True HD Video at variable frame rates. This card is fine till it is around 3-4 GB full but beyond that the buffer gets filled up and the camera will display “Busy” massage after each shot or Video recording.

If you want to use your card for HDSLR then my suggestion would be to buy at least a card with UDMA capabilities and or 30mb/s+ speed to be on a safer side.

5 Stars Best Value Price

Excellent, best value/price, very fast and reliable.

I highly recomend this product and the seller. Well packed, on time delivery and no surprise charges.

2 Stars Slow! Can’t use it all
This card is fine for normal use, just don’t fill it more than 50% or else it becomes EXTREMELY slow! Sports, kids playing, out of the question. Holidays, portraits, fine art (which I do) should be fine. But really, a better option would be to get a couple 4 or 8 gb cards instead of this one. Cheaper and better reliability and speed. I kind of regret getting this card. Size isn’t everything. Performance is MUCH more important.

4 Stars Good Card
Lots of space, works fast enough to do 1080p video on my canon, perfectly reliable so far.
