Canon EOS 7D Body only Digital Camera

Having just picked up our 7d to replace our 50d as a backup camera for our photoshoots, we've been pleasantly surprised at what we've bought. It's still a cropped sensor like the 50d, and not quite the full frame sensor of the 5d mk2 or 1d, but the images produced so far have been significantly better than other cropped sensor cameras we've tried, with a host of new features thrown in too..

We particularly like the wireless flash facility - allowing us to use our Canon Speedlites off camera without the need for contraptions and gizmo's. We also like the fact it can shoot at a high number of frames per second - useful if you enjoy sports photography.

The camera is better weather protected than any of the previous Canon cropped sensor models - so if you're out and about - you're not going to worry too much if you hit a spot of drizzle!

The viewfinder has a built in light up grid - so useful when it comes to low light shots to see if you're all lined up properly - with no sloping horizons!

It's still early days for us yet - but for anyone weighing up this - or a second hand 1d mk2 or something similar - this is far better for the money I can assure you. We're happy - and we're sure you will be too...
