With a mode 6 UDMA, 600x Sandisk card (pretty much the fastest card available right now), I got 20 RAW frames at 8 fps before the buffer filled (1/1000s, ISO 400) Then there was a pause of about 0.4 seconds followed by 2 rapid (8fps) frame, then another 0.4 second pause, then 2 more rapid frames and so on for about 5 seconds before the space between bursts increased to about 0.55 seconds.

The manual warns that the frame rate may drop is the light is low (even with a fast shutter speed) – and indeed it does! 10162951 One strange quirk is that even if the shutter is manually set to 1/1000 sec and the lens is in manual focus mode (which should give the fastest possible frame rate), with the lens cap on the maximum continuous frame rate was only 4.25 fps. I actually measured 7.99 fps, but that’s close enough to 8. In high speed continuous mode, the EOS 7D meets Canon’s specifications of 3 fps in slow mode and 8 fps in fast mode.

When reviewing images, the time for the display to update with a new image is under 1/2 second. All other operations are fast too, no doubt helped by the new dual Digic IV processors. Like other EOS DSLRs, the EOS 7D appears to turn on instantly, taking less than 100ms to be ready to shoot. In camera illumination (vignetting) correction for JPEGs.Contrast detection AF in Live View mode.5 stops of exposure compensation (only 3 stops shown in viewfinder).Microfocus adjustment on a fixed or lens by lens basis.Continuous shooting at up to 8 frames/sec.An all new 19 zone AF system with dedicated AF processor.A 920,000 pixel, 3" high resolution LCD.An 18MP CMOS sensor with a “gapless microlens” design for high efficiency.
If you are new to digital photography, start with the guide Building a DSLR System. Their prices are fair and you help to support. The Canon EOS 7D is available from ’s partners. The only downside of the camera might be that it’s so flexible and has so many customizable options that novices might be confused by all the choices it provides! There’s a good reason why the instruction manual runs to 275 pages. The HD video features alone might make it a camera of choice for budding film makers too. With the advanced autofocus and metering, very high speed continuous shooting rate, large image buffer, wireless flash control, extensive set of custom functions and broadcast quality HD video, the EOS 7D would be ideal for sports shooters and photojournalists, as well as advanced amateur photographers who want a “state of the art” crop sensor camera. Clearly Canon has put some thought into this camera and made a number of changes that make the EOS 7D the closest thing to a “professional grade” APS-C body that I’ve seen to date.

In some ways you can think of it as a crop sensor version of the full frame EOS 5D Mk II at a price that’s $1000 less, although it has some features that even the 5D Mk II doesn’t have.
It’s not an EOS 50D upgrade, but rather a whole new level of DSLR positioned between the EOS 50D and the EOS 5D Mk II. The Canon EOS 7D is Canon’s “state of the art” crop sensor DSLR.
