The Good: Very fast; excellent photo quality; flexible autofocus system; big, bright viewfinder; streamlined interface; adds wireless flash control.
The Bad: Single card slot; some annoying small and hard-to-feel buttons; limited to three shots for bracketing; Live View focusing still slow.
The Bottom Line: An excellent midrange dSLR, the Canon EOS 7D delivers for the money.

Review Summary: The Canon EOS 7D is Canon's top of the range APS-C camera. Below it sit the compact forms of the EOS 1100D, EOS 600D and EOS 60D and above it the full-frame glory of the £200 more expensive EOS 5D MKII.
The Verdict: If you want to shoot video, the decision swings towards the 7D. The 7D is undeniably excellent camera, but for once, that doesn't make the decision any easier.

Review Summary: Updated A superb top-end DSLR for photo-mad consumers. Choosing between this, the 5D MKII and the Nikon D300S isn't easy, though.
The Verdict: The obvious decision for anyone looking to buy a Canon is whether to go for the 7D or splash out on the 5D MKII. With the 5D MKII costing around £450 extra, it's not an easy choice.

Review Summary: The future is here. For years (decades, even?), low-budget filmmakers have dreamed of being able to achieve the look of film without the headache and cost of film equipment, processing etc. Over the past decade we've seen digital cinema grow and...
The Verdict: There was a lot of talk about the 7D being a "RED Killer." And while that might be a bit of an overstatement, I have been able to cut spots that use both REDOne and 7D footage, with the two cameras intercut seamlessly (with a little color correction,...
