Could someone tell me if this is correct. I have just recently purchased a 7D . Upgraded from a 20D. When I look through the 7D the viewfinder without the battery is very grainy and you can’t see anything. With the 20D its not the case its clear without the battery in it. When I put the battery in the 7D the clarity is fine, but to be honest not as good as the 20D though its marginally and I could get used to it.

Hi, i want to buy both the 7d and the 5d mark ii, but the only issue is the overheating. How can i but a camera that does not overheat

Please advise asap.

Excellent looking camera! I used a Canon 7D the other day to film a triathlon. It’s not as good for filming as our HVX200 but for some shots it worked excellent. Not the greatest for snap zooms and rack focusing as I was hoping. I do like what you’ve done to your camera though.

yes, that’s the main problem with videos on these dslr
some of the lines are “skipped” to reduce the resolution to 1920×1080 pixels
instead of scaling down with anti-aliasing algorithms, the lines are simply cut down

some improvement may be achieved recording at 1080p and than, scale down to 720p in post-production..

cheers

Hi guys,

Forgive my ignorance, please, but could one of you please let me know what kind of external mic I should get for the 7D? Could you let me know which mic is seen is these photos here?

Thank you very much!

The only issue I have run into using nikon glass on a T2i, which should respond similarly to the 7&5d is that you have to confirm that a lens is attached and you can’t shoot wide open without some blooming in the highlights – everything goes all fuzzy for one reason or another beyond my current understanding and the solution is closing down a stop. Unfortunately this takes my nice ƒ1.4 50mm nikon and makes it an ƒ2 and it takes my ƒ2′s (24 & 35) and makes them ƒ2.8′s. Which is how I justified buying a Tamron 17-50vr ƒ2.8. It’s slower than the 50mm but stabilized and I can autofocus.
