Given the size of this camera, I can’t say that the Canon EOS 7D handling is perfect. This means that someone who has never shot any photography before can pick it up and basically figure out what they’re doing, perhaps with the help of a few YouTube tutorials. One of my favorite things about the Canon EOS 7D build is the fact that its menu is super simple and the layout of the buttons are self-explanatory. However, if you’re used to shooting with older DSLR models, then it won’t feel too awkward for you. It weighs 1.9 lbs and measures 5.8” x 4.4” x 2.9”. By today’s standards, it is pretty bulky. The Canon EOS 7D design is pretty much exactly like the design of just about every other camera in the Canon EOS lineup.
Full HD movie capabilities at up to 30p.You can expect 240-shots out of your battery using flash 50% of the time in Live View, but if you’re shooting with your viewfinder and never using your flash, you can get 800 shots. You shouldn’t expect 4K from this camera, pretty obviously, but you will get Full HD at either 30p or 24p.Īccording to Canon’s website, the battery life on this camera varies widely. It also features an 8fps burst mode, which is still pretty good.
It features an ISO range of 100-6,400, which is okay for personal shooting, but really won’t cut it for professionals anymore.
One of the reasons why the Canon EOS 7D was such a big deal when it dropped in 2009 was that it is built around an 18MP sensor, which was huge news back then.īut, like the sensor, a lot of the specs on this camera are now outdated. In this Canon EOS 7D review, it’s my goal to share all of the Canon EOS 7D specs with you and let you know whether there are enough Canon EOS 7D features to make this camera a serious contender for your cash in 2021. Importantly, whereas many of the cameras in this lineup looked and performed a lot like one another, the Canon EOS 7D was the first to really change the way it performed. The Canon EOS 7D came out in 2009 as a replacement for the Canon EOS 50D, though Canon never really admitted that to anyone. To help you make that decision, I’m going to talk a little bit more in-depth about the Canon EOS 7D. The question is, of course, whether any of these cameras can still do what they did a decade ago. You can still find many of the cameras that were wildly popular around a decade ago, including the Canon EOS 7D. For a long time, Canon had a total monopoly on the enthusiast market, first with the Canon X0D series, then with the EOS series. If you’ve been doing photography for as long as I have, then you’ll fondly remember the very beginnings of the Canon EOS craze.
