A great Canon crop sensor DSLR. This camera has great image quality, handles well, and can shoot up to 8fps, if you need to. It’s a bit on the large side, but it’s well made and weather sealed, so it will stand up to rigorous use. It only has one memory card slot, and takes the older Compact Flash (CF) format cards. So, you’ll likely need a card reader to transfer pics to your computer for processing and backup. 18mp resolution is fine for most uses, but since there’s far higher resolution cameras on the market, the Canon EOS 7D is a real bargain. Aim for one with under 50k shutter count (shutter life is 150,000), and a clean body should be available for about $250.

I recently bought a seldom used 7D. It arrived in great condition. I love the FPS speed (reason I chose the 7D) but am disappointed in the viewfinder clarity and am having trouble downloading my photos directly from camera to my laptop. I never have trouble doing that with my T6i Rebel. I lost photos last night when the computer could not detect all photos needing to be imported.

The Canon 7D was one of the best sports and wildlife cameras in the world when it was released in 2009 for $1700. Buying this camera for $160 shipped with 42K shutter actuations on it feels like a steal. It was the Sony A9 of its day. Fast-forward to 2022, and the 7D feels distinctly more rugged than any camera I have ever owned (Canon 60D, Canon 6D, Sony Sony a77, Sony a77ii, Sony a99ii, Sony a7r, Sony a7riii, Sony a7c, Sony a6000 and Nikon d40) and distinctly heavier as well. The camera is legendary for being the most weather-sealed non-flagship camera of its day, and it still screams durability. Topping out at 8 shots per-second, it feels as fast as my Sony a77 and a99 bodies were even if it technically is slightly slower. Maybe it is due to not having any lag time for when you put the camera up to your eye and shoot, not sure. This is my first camera that uses Compact Flash cards, and I have to admit the 7D writes files very fast because of it. The dual processors make it feel like a Corvette compared to my old 60D's Malibu. The AF system was great for its day, and it still can compete with much more expensive bodies in the hands of a professional. The image quality is very similar to my old 60D, which it shares an 18mp sensor with, and it also has comparable battery life (read: very good). Even with all of my experience shooting with different bodies, the 7D feels even more complex than my a99ii did. While the 60D was the dumbed-down version of the 7D, and I knew this, it is still a much more sophisticated and better-handling body.Read full review

I purchased this 7D from eBay to upgrade from my older 7D (Minolta Maxxum 7D). It’s a great camera, as reviews on eBay and around the internet will say. I love mine, takes great photos and videos, but I will take a different approach with my review and share what I don’t like. It’s not a long list. I may have been spoiled by the Minolta 7D with all the buttons, switches and knobs that made anything and everything quickly accessible, on the Canon I don’t like going into menus to do some things. Exposure bracketing is one, on the Minolta it was just 2 clicks on the switch on top to take multiple, successive photos of different exposures. On the Canon i have to go into a menu, twice, once to set exposure bracketing, then to set the drive mode. Live view focusing doesn’t really work well for me, hunts a lot, sometimes decides it can’t focus. Could be my copy. I end up just manually focusing if I’m in Live view. I wish the options on the top knob were spaced out more. It just looks weird that all the shooting modes are scrunched together and half the knob is blank. Even though the top LCD screen is so 1987 (EOS 620, your legacy lives on) I’ve come to appreciate it and leave the back LCD off. (Konica Minolta and early Sony DSLRs that I used to use only had the back screen, no top LCD) That’s it, short list. There’s just a lot to like about this camera, even if the technology is 10 years old, and not a lot to dislike. it’s a fun tool to use.Read full review

The 'Q' button allows you to get to all of the settings you always use quickly and easily, which is monumentally convenient when your light changes, as it always does. Great intuitive focusing, large files, too much to list. The lens has great glass and has the perfect focal length for my needs, I almost never switch lenses. Vibrating sensor shakes dust off so it doesn't pollute your pictures. Image stabilization on the lens, since I shoot often in lower light. It's a very tough camera, I have dropped mine so many times it is a miracle it still works! I love my canon 7D, that's why I bought another. I must have taken at least 100,000 pics with at and it only has 1 dead pixel. If I could, I would send you to my website, where most of the photos were taken with this camera. This camera is like a part of my body.Read full review
