B&H is having some great Black Friday deals on dSLR cameras and accessories, including some Double Instant Rebates on Canon bodies and lenses including the EOS 60D, 7D, and 5D MkII. If you are looking to pair a new body with a great lens or Speedlite, such as one of the 70-200mm telephoto zooms, one [...]
You are currently browsing the archive for the Canon 7D category.
In a previous post I wrote an in-depth comparison of the dSLR cameras in the current Canon line-up, the Canon 7D vs 60D vs T3i / 600D. To sum up that practical, subjective comparison, here is a brief and somewhat serious synopsis to help you make your camera decision based on your photography experience and [...]

This article mostly applies to the Canon 60D and the Rebel T3i / EOS 600D, and their predecessors. The Canon EOS 7D also shares the same Autofocus Modes discussed below, but it adds Autofocus Area Modes to the mix as well as additional Custom Functions affecting the AF system, so I will have to address [...]

I have completed a Canon 7D e book user’s guide, Canon 7D Experience – The Still Photographer’s Guide to Operation and Image Creation that goes beyond the EOS 7D manual to help you learn when and why to use the various controls, features, and custom settings of this powerful camera, including the advanced and sophisticated [...]

(For more information on the Canon 7D Mk II, see these posts HERE!) The Canon EOS 7D became available around September/ October 2009, and was quite well received at the time. Its sophisticated autofocus system, improved exposure metering system, blazing fast continuous shooting speed, and great low-light-performing 18 megapixel sensor placed it in a new [...]
Since several of the current Canon dSLR cameras – such as the T3i, 60D, and 7D – share similar features and an 18 megapixel sensor, it can make it difficult and confusing to decide which one is best for you. But each one is designed for different levels of photographers with specific needs, and there [...]

In my e-book user’s guide for digital SLRs I include a list of accessories and books, complete with links to purchase these products on Amazon or from the manufacturer. However, the links don’t always work with some e-book formats, so I am posting the list here too. Below are some accessories that are handy for [...]

(Sorry for the wrong link to the Essential Digital Photo Books – you can find that list HERE: http://blog.dojoklo.com/2010/10/06/essential-digital-photography-books/) Just when you thought it was difficult to choose between the latest offerings from Canon – the 7D vs 60D vs. T3i / 600D – Nikon comes out with the D7000! The Nikon D7000 is a [...]

I previously wrote a post to compare these cameras, the Canon 5D vs.7D vs. 50D vs. 550D / Rebel T2i – with the exception of the Canon 60D – which you can read here: http://blog.dojoklo.com/2010/05/03/canon-7d-vs-5d-vs-50d-part-ii/ It still applies to helping you make the decision between these cameras, including the 60D, but it doesn’t yet address [...]
Over the last several months I’ve collected some of the search terms that led people to read my blog (it is easy with WordPress to check your daily/ weekly/ monthly stats such as this). I’m presenting several of them here, along with brief but informative answers. Whenever I say Canon xxD, please substitute 5D, 7D, [...]
This post has been revised and updated to include the new Canon Rebel T3i / EOS 600D. Please proceed over to this post to read the most current information: Canon T3i/600D vs T2i/550D vs. 60D vs. 7D, etc. Like many others out there, you are asking yourself, “should I buy the Canon 7D or 60D [...]

I continue to get a large number of visits from people who are comparing the current line of Canon digital SLR cameras – the 5D Mk. II vs. 7D vs. 50D vs. 550D / T2i. I go into detail about comparing the features of these cameras in this post, including the 60D and T3i, so [...]

It is one thing to know that your cool new Canon or Nikon digital SLR provides you with 3 or 4 different metering modes. It’s another thing to know how and when to actually use them in the field or in different real life situations. The Canon 5D, 7D, 60D, 50D and T3i all offer [...]

I’ve run across a nice set of video tutorials (link below) for using the Canon 7D. You can watch them online, or even download them to your camera for viewing. The one on AF Custom Functions is especially helpful at clarifying those setting. Be sure to look around on the Canon Digital Learning Center to [...]

I recently ran across this video made by the wonderfully talented photojournalist Ami Vitale. It was commissioned by Nikon to showcase the HD video capabilities of the D300s, a camera very similar to the Canon 7D: Like this new class of cameras, the short video is itself a hybrid of photography and video – each [...]

I read a lot of arguing back and forth on forums regarding one camera vs. another in terms of their capabilities and performance such as high ISO performance, low light capabilities, etc, etc, etc. Well, here’s an actual test site that may shed some real, fact-based light into these arguments. It is interesting to see [...]
