Conclusion
The 7D is a camera that many Canon DSLR users will want, but as camera based on a cropped sensor design, it would appeal more to the consumer crowd than it would for the professionals. As mentioned earlier, we very much consider the 7D to be a hybrid of the 1D and the 5D Mark II - exceptionally fast shooting speed, great AF speed and producing excellent photos. At its current price point of S$2699 for the body, it seems poised to win over those who have been tempted by its capabilities.
Fact is, the EOS 7D has a load of feature upgrades, and what you'll need to consider if the following features that are of significance to this DSLR:
- 18MP APS-C CMOS sensor
- 100% field of view
- 1x magnification viewfinder
- ISO100 to 64000, ISO12800 at H setting
- Dual DIGIC 4 processors
- 8fps continuous shooting speed
- 19 cross-type AF points
- 1080p (30, 25, 24fps) and 720p (59.94, 50fps) video recording
So the crux of it all is this - should you upgrade? Without a shadow of a doubt, we would recommend that whoever owns an xxD series to upgrade, because this is as good as it gets for a 1.6x crop camera. You can either choose to get current technology and enjoy it while you can, or you can wait a year to see what else Canon can deliver. In short, go get the 7D. You won't regret it.
From the 7D, 50D to the 5D MKII, the Canon EOS lineup is pretty impressive. And with the latest announcement of its EOS 1D MK IV, the Japanese company has opened up a whole new world for photographers. |
