lens-accessories Review for Canon Eos

Three Positives:

1. Live View – allows you to see exposure and depth of field (no darkening) in real time on a sharp and bright preview screen. You can then press the * button (AEL)and lock that exposure in.

2. Critical Focusing – allows two stages of magnification in live view for critical focusing. I use it for “macro” photography with a EF 70-300mm lens. No stooping!

3. Spot Metering – I know this has been on previous models but extremely useful when using in live mode. Really can get pinpoint exposure control without bracketing after some practice.

Two other notables are low noise at high ISO and self cleaning sensor that really works. It also doesn’t hurt to have the added pixel headroom.

Two Negatives:

1. Spare Battery – is overpriced on Amazon (sorry guys, I love ya but you need to bring your price in line with everyone else). If you use Live View a lot you will need a spare battery.

2. Error Message 01 – “communications between the camera and lens is faulty” appeared at slower shutter speeds with my older EF-S 17-85MM. My two other lenses don’t give this message. I just sent the lens to Canon to have it checked out – update to come. I think the 7D may be a bit less forgiving with well worn lenses than the 20D.

Conclusion – If you can afford it, buy it. All the things you’ve been struggling to do with your 20D can be accomplished with the 7D in spades. There are new features that you need to learn by studying the manual but there is also a lot of familiar territory. If you thought you were a photo enthusiast before, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
