Canon EOs 7D preview

Stunning all-round performance, features and build. A pro-quality body that any serious amateur can afford

Well made, quickly intuitive to use, fleet-of-foot across most performance measures and able to produce stunning results, even at high sensitivity settings, all means the Canon EOS 7D is both a cleverly realised combination of professional specification and semi-professional pricing.

We love the feel of the Canon EOS 7D — even its relatively heavy weight — and we think it's an easy camera to use, even if you're not used to Canon's D-SLR control schemes. It was able to capture some stunning images, especially in dim lighting with a high ISO, and it produced vibrant results in bright conditions. Especially pleasing was its burst mode, which captured almost five frames per second in our tests. The only trouble we had with the camera was with its focusing, which was a little inaccurate at times. Nevertheless, if you're looking for a fast D-SLR and don't need a full-frame sensor, the EOS 7D is an impressive tool that costs substantially less than a professional model.

The Canon EOS 7D is definitely for the action photographer: It has a fast burst mode and captures huge images. Its high ISO performance is very good, but we found its focus to be hit and miss.
