Design
The design Canon EOS 7D is atypical of the Canon EOS range. In addition, there are several new buttons and some changes to the existing ones to give users convenient access to features. The Quick [Q] Menu button and the M-func button, accessing different functions of the camera has become a lot easier. Once you are versed with the different functions, changing settings should be a breeze. The inclusion of the Auto and CA mode makes this camera easy to use. The direct access to Live View and Video shooting with the dedicated button and switch has also made everything a lot more tidy.Considering the 3-inch (920k) dots is quickly becoming the standard for all new digital SLRs, it is no surprise the Canon EOS 7D comes with it too. Finally, the one thing that makes the Canon 7D stand out amongst its peers is that it is the only digit EOS series to incorporate a built-in flash, hence clearly placing the Canon EOS 7D amongst other pro body cameras for semi-pros and photography enthusiasts.
The Canon EOS 7D has a comfortable grip when you are holding it so it is easy to manage and not awkward. It also has an indentation where your middle finger can rest for more comfort. This is a small feature, but it makes a big difference to those photographers who use the cameras for long periods of time as eventually your middle finger can become sore from having no resting place.
Features
It has environmental sealing, an APS-C CMOS sensor of 18MP, flash control (Wireless), the incessant shooting offers eight frames per second, coverage viewfinder of 100% and 1.0 x exaggeration, manual controls on the 1080p high definition video recording, 19 point AF system and a 3″ LCD screen containing 920, 000 dots. These are but a few main features of this camera.The Canon EOS 7D’s built in flash features a wider range, which means it is able to handle anything up to 15mm wide angle lenses. The flash is also able to serve as a remote leader for different groups of flashes, which is something new for Canon.
Other new features include the electronic level, multi-function key and the RAW key. The multi-function button allows you to quickly and easily access the different functions on the camera without having to look for the function you want.
The 19 cross-type AF points focusing system is a brand new feature to the camera; the LCD viewfinder display is also something that people love about this camera as it doesn’t require you to invest in interchangeable screens.
The shutter device of this camera is rated quite amazingly, at 150,000 cycles to be exact. It is in fact the very same design that was used by the well known 1D series of the Canon DSLR range. The EV compensation has been conveniently stretched out to five full stops in each direction, and the ISO images range from a mere 100 to a complete 6,400 at a time, with an increased setting that goes up to a full 12, 800. For those who are a little more adventurous, this model also offers an HD mode that captures stunning video quality at 30p.
The greatest aspect of the Canon EOS 7D is that it is not just an upgrade of the previous model. It is really a whole new camera with a whole new range of features. It looks different, feels different, and works differently, and takes awesomely crystal clear photographs and perfect videos.

Performance
Canon made countless improvements in the Canon EOS 7D. When it comes to speed, the Canon 7D is extremely quick in almost every aspect of its operation. AF and continuous mode speeds are unprecedented; quick enough for any subject including professional sports. It has startup and shutdown times so fast that they are difficult to measure. Also, without the use of battery grips for the added boost, this camera offers quick-handed photographers 8fps. In addition, a dual “DIGIC 4″ ensures that image processing keeps up with you and your needs! Needless to say, this awesome camera also offers you almost 30 minutes of high-definition video footage, a far cry from the Nikon D300S.In terms of low-light performance, the EOS 7D will take vibrant shots in its standard colour mode even on a gloomy day. To overcome dark environments, ISO speed can be adjusted to ISO 1600 or even ISO 3200 to allow you a shutter speed fast enough to counter blurring, without having to adjust the luminance of the shots in post-production.
