Test Driving my Canon 7D with a High Surf Advisory on 12-1-12... By Eric Cedeno

I took my Canon 7D out for a test drive at the beach. Wow that a fast shutter speed! I'm really happy with it. I know I need to spend more time figuring out how to use all the setting to maximize the quality, but for a foggy , drizzling high surf advisory morning I think I did ok.

Canon 5D Mark II vs Canon 7D - The Pepsi Challenge


I saw this video the other day when I was still trying to take the Pepsi challenge on which new Canon camera to get. This guy cracks me up and I really like his breakdown of each of the canon cameras (5D Mark II vs D7). The 8 FPS (Frames Per Second) and some of the other little perks that are more geared for high speed surf photography really sold me on the 7D.


Canon 5D Mark II vs Canon 7D Field Test Hands-on Review


Uploaded by  on Jul 23, 2010
In this video, we take a look at two Canon DSLRs - the 7D and the 5D Mark II. If you've got either one of the triple digit-D or double digit-D DSLRs from Canon, which of the two makes the ideal body to upgrade to? We take them out to compare some of the best bits of each camera...but the weather takes a turn for the worst. Find out to see if these cameras survive the Hong Kong Typhoons.
