pros
+ Very solidly built and nicely weather sealed
+ Very ergonomically positioned buttons and dials that are highly configurable
+ Highly intuitive interface and lots of customisable options
+ Fast, reliable AF system
+ Capable of excellent quality results across the board, and in a variety of shooting conditions
+ Consistent metering system that produces neutral, clean image
+ Excellent viewfinder, large, bright and informative
+ 8 fps in burst mode, highly suitable for sports and fast action shooting
+ Great low-light/high ISO performance, ISO 3200 is very usable - a new benchmark for cropped sensors
+ Comprehensive feature list that shames a few of its costlier siblings

cons
- ISO 6400 performance will not satisfy those used to full frames
- Metering has issues with incandescent lighting, especially yellow lighting, though all dSLRs goof up here, and the 7D is better than many
- Loss in finer detail and smearing of textures when shooting red subjects, particularly darker hues
- Expensive to buy in India
- Needs good lenses for the sensor to show its mettle

Verdict

Michael Browne

At Rs. 85,000 the 7D is an attractive option for those looking for a high performance dSLR camera. Image quality is top notch, and if you want better, you need to look at a full frame. Noise is very well controlled for a crop sensor and the 7D is exceptionally sturdy. The 7D is also highly configurable and has a list of features a mile wide. However, there is a learning curve associated with such a complex piece of equipment, and good lenses are needed to get the best out of this beauty. This is a dSLR for the discerning enthusiast, or serious hobbyists not amateurs.
