Canon 7D DSLR – Product Review

I’ve finally had a chance to sit down and write a review of my Canon 7D (Check prices at B&H, Adorama and Amazon).

It’s a quick review….I love this camera!

My main focus is birds, wildlife and landscapes and this camera is an awesome body for wildlife and birding photography. I’ve got my trusty Canon 5D for landscapes…it does the trick nicely for that role.

When I first picked up the camera, I noticed it felt a bit different than my 5D. It felt a bit more rugged. Not sure if that’s just my imagination or if its a reality.

The camera does an amazing job in all situations. Low light shooting is excellent and the speed of this camera is amazing.

I’ve shot some birds in flight and found the autofocus to be responsive and darn near perfect. The camera matches up well with my Canon 400mm 5.6 L lens…with those two pieces of gear, I’ve been able to get some excellent shots. Pair this great camera, that great lens with my Induro CT314 tripod, Really Right Stuff BH-55 Tripod Head and I’m in heaven!

A few sample shots to show the abilities of the camera (and hopefully my abilities as well!):

Prairie Dog Snacking

American White Pelican

Sandhill Crane

Goldfinch

Muscovy Duck
