Canon EOS 7D 18MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) $999 + Free Shipping

Quote from sffire : I think the replacement is the Canon 6D for sale at fry's for $2099 body only. I got a used 7D couple of weeks ago, very happy with it. 8 Frames per Second.

No the 6D is the entry full-frame camera. Basically a 60D with a full-frame sensor and arguably crappier autofocus than the 60D/T4i (9 point AF, all cross point). The 6D is single cross point. The 5D2 was just discontinued, so the 6D is around 2k, while the 5D3 is around 3k. The 5D3 has amazing AF and a decent frame rate, but it's 3k.

If you want/need to shoot action and don't want to spend 3k, then the 7D isn't a bad choice.

Many people were hoping (myself included) that the 7D's advanced AF system would appear on the 6D, but ultimately Canon cheaped out and gave us 11 point AF making it only marginally better than the 5D2 (with crappier build quality).

Quote from endlesscash : Overall, the best camera Canon makes. Far better vs. the failed Mark III 5D and embarrassing 6D for sure.

Agreed. Unless you have three-grand to drop on the 5D3, this is the best AF you're going to get from Canon. At this price if you're shooting sports, the 7D is a bargain. You could get a 7D and a 70-200mm f2.8L IS II for $3k and be all set to go

failed 5dmk3. have you ever shot with one.

5diii is far from a failure. This thing has the third best AF system in the canon lineup even though its 2+ years old next to the 1DX (9 months old) and the 5dmkiii (5 months old) . At 1k its a steal, but its due for an update. I have the T2i which has a "similar" sensor (see same). I don't like shooting over iso 800 due to noise. I'm tempted to jump on this for the AF but the bottom line will be the same annoyances at low light/high iso. For me its full frame or bust... wish the 6D had a better AF system because with the Wifi feature on that camera it pretty much does everything I'd ask for in a camera at a pricepoint that in the near future should be attainable.

Wish amazon would price match the 999!!!

Been using my 7D for about a year now. Great camera! If you're upgrading from the baseline bodies, the XTi, T1i, T2i, etc, this body is a huge upgrade, but is also quite a bit bigger and heavier. Very solid feel to it and it produces great images, provided you supply appropriate glass to shoot through. This is a great price!

I'm well aware that any current full-frame DSLR is about $2k or more. Do you know what a NEX-7 is? While there are some advantages afforded by the 7D, it's not enough for me to consider it as an ADDITION to my collection....not for this price. I always thought Canon ?D cameras were full-frame, but obviously not. I did ask by stating I don't know much about Canons. I've had Oly, Panny, and several SONY bodies, but Canon never appealed to me. I'll take ANY full-frame for cheap though despite the brand

Quote from m3incorp : Do you know the advantages of Full-Frame AND the disadvantages? I"m guessing not if you asked if this is full-frame. Add $1k to afford the latest/newest entry-level full-frame from Canon. Still want it? I have a feeling that when you read the specs on this camera, there is surely something you will like about it.

Interesting, I never heard of the "Mark III 5D", but the 5D Mark III is a very nice camera.

I have read and watched lot of reviews about this camera which is pretty much a REBEL T2i... Does not impress me much. Just ordered the Canon 5D Mark iii which has great deal at Amazon. http://slickdeals.net/f/5746930-B...ON-PRIME-B

I just ordered the 60d a couple of days ago, is the difference in picture very big? I wonder if I should return 60d for 7d...hmmm?
