Ultimately, the EOS 7D is a great entry-level pro dSLR debut for Canon.

The Canon EOS-7D is a superb midrange digital SLR which I can recommend with ease. It has a great combination of features, photo quality, performance, and customizability that I know enthusiasts will enjoy.

If you can justify the price tag it's hard to fault Canon's new APS-C flagship. With class-leading image quality, fast operation and excellent handling the EOS 7D is everything a semi-pro model should be, and the excellent movie mode will be a welcome bonus to those that like their pictures to move.

The 7D delivers more, since it's packed full of newer technology and for the people who want it, the video component is truly killer.

One of the best midrange D-SLRs money can buy. But if you don't need comprehensive video recording features or ultra-high-resolution images, there are a handful of competing D-SLRs that produce comparable image quality for half the price.

This is the camera that Canon enthusiasts, indeed many camera enthusiasts, have been waiting for, and I suspect it will sell very well. Our extensive testing shows the Canon 7D to be an excellent camera, and our printed results emphatically reinforce that conclusion.

Without doubt one of the best cameras currently available, offering fantastic build quality, lightning fast performance and superb image quality in virtually any conditions. It is more expensive than its main rivals, but it's worth the extra for a camera this good.

It may not boast the full-frame sensor and the ultimate image quality of the 5D Mark II, but in every other respect it excels. Taking everything into consideration, the EOS 7D is arguably Canon’s most successful and satisfying overall DSLR to date.

For the most fine-grained image quality, and particularly for professional photographers who cover tricky events such as weddings, the 5D MKII is the one to go for. ... If you want to shoot video, the decision swings towards the 7D.

Canonistas have a nifty new body to move up to if they're shooting at the entry level now, or a legitimate budget backup to their pro body ... It's hard to call a $1700 body-only camera "budget", but considering the overall performance ... it's pretty close to being a steal.

Canon's EOS 7D is an impressive dSLR that offers the versatility professionals demand in a rugged weather and dust resistance shell.

Now if you really don’t care about the video mode in such DSLR, yep the 7D is a really nice piece of hardware that will worth checking it if you are planning to get a new camera.

The big question, though: Is the camera worth its steep asking price? Happily, the answer is yes, since it’s an investment that will pay you back for years to come in terms of great photos.

The AF focusing system is a joy to use, and its image quality is superb. Plus, its rugged build quality and ability to produce high quality images in both RAW and JPEG make it well worth the money.

This really is a break-through camera that advances the EOS system as a whole.
