Abstract: Canon 7D First Report A New Body for the Next Decade On picking up the new Canon 7D the first thing that one notices is the heft and solidity of the body. This camera is a significant upgrade over all of its predecessors, including the 20D, 30D, 40D, ...
Abstract: Canons X0D series was, for many years, essentially the default choice for keen enthusiasts, professionals and aspiring-professionals who wanted top-level image quality and functionality without the bulk (or price) of a pro-level camera such as the 1...

Build quality, Video footage, Continuous shooting mode, HighISO image quality, Great viewfinder
Hard on memory cards, Unimpressive kit lens

Large, bright viewfinder , Full manual controls in video recording , Superb burst rate for a prosumer dSLR , Excellent noise control
AF system still feels a little cumbersome at times , Kit 18-135mm lens isn't as impressive as expected
