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.
