On the top is a feature that clearly separates entry-level DSLRs from true enthusiast models-an LCD readout so you can quickly check your settings.Īlso on the top is the mode dial which has no Scene modes other than Auto and Creative Auto, indicating that this camera is for shutterbugs who love playing with f/stops, speeds, contrast, saturation and so on. Other items featured here are the AF Assist lamp, remote sensor, mic, flash open and depth of field preview buttons as well as the lens release. The front of the unit is dominated by the lens mount which accepts EF and EF-S lenses (over 60 are available). Also worth noting: Thanks to its subtle, textured finish, the EOS 7D doesn’t come up short in the looks department either. While the camera’s definitely a bruiser, you should expect that with its magnesium alloy frame and dust- and weather-resistant body. The camera weighs 28.9 ounces body only, and 48 ounces with the 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 image stabilized zoom provided for our review purposes. The height makes for a great grip and the finish ensures a solid hold. It measures 5.8” wide, 4.4” high and 2.9” deep. The Canon EOS 7D is a hefty, all-black DSLR with a nicely textured finish. Click on to see what we found when the music stopped… Features and Design As such, Canon didn’t have to ask twice if we wanted to hop on this merry-go-round and put the 7D through its paces. Still, such ongoing competition is wonderful news for photographers as cameras seem to get better almost every day. The moral of the story: Boys will be boys and we can be thankful for these toys-although close to two grand is a pretty expensive ride for either. And, of course, both units are capable of capturing HD video clips.

No sooner does Nikon come out with the D300S (a $1699, 12.3 megapixel (MP), 7-frame-per-second model) than Canon follows suit with the 7D, a $1699 18MP camera that shoots at a speedy 8 fps. There’s one ping-pong match that never ends-the battle between Nikon and Canon for DSLR supremacy.
