If your only looking for photography, your better off getting the 5D Mark 1 or higher.

I absolutely love my canon 7D. The Canon 7D mark ii is supposed to be a little better with low light. You really can't beat the price right now on the canon 7D. It has really dropped in price since last year.(about 700.00) I have a Nikon too and I love the menu on the canons. They are easier to use. I love to photo birds in flight and I have gotten some amazing photos. You can buy a fast lens for sports too. The 70-200 lens with 2.8 f/ stop is a great sports photography lens. That is on my wish list. Hope this helps and good luck!

If you shoot sports or any other fast moving objects (such as small children), get the 7D. 8fps (7D) can really get you the shots that 5 fps (T4i) might miss. Don't expect big differences in image quality (dynamic range, etc), they are very close. I have a 40D (2007 vintage) myself, and rented a 7D last weekend to see how it performs. With the same 70-300L lens, there really wasn't much difference in image quality. T4i with it's tilting touch screen could be very useful. I have no comments on its focusing accuracy or speed though.

I have both, 5D III and 6D I primarily shoot video on both but if you want the extreme quick accurate focus of the 5D you will pay the price. The 6D is fine, just does not have as many focus points and processor for stills.Additionally, the 6 D offers some "auto" functions that would appeal to a more semi-pro. Both shoot world class video.

I honestly don't know, you will have to do some research I'm not a camera person this was a gift to me along with a 7D and I haven't used it much at all.

I would have to agree. The L series lenses are great. I guess it just depends on where you are at with your photography. The L series lenses are going to cost you a little more and if you can afford that then fine. I have gradually upgraded my lenses along the way and this year upgraded to the 70D. I recently purchased the Canon 18-135 lens to be my all around lens and I love it!

You want the A710 IS. There is just no comparison to the others.The other two are only 3x zoom and lack key features. You will hate yourself the next day. For the $40 difference, how many photos do you think you will take? A thousand, 5 thousand? So the cheapest one will save you a penny a shot?And the Canon cameras have so many features that typically are only found in big, expensive Digital SLRs.

First, I absolutely love my Canon 6D. The location of the controls are all on the right side and very easy to access as opposed to the 5D Mark III where the controls are on the left and very awkward. Like other respondents have mentioned, only the EF lenses will work on the 6D. But not all EF lenses are terribly expensive. My old 70-300, which I used on my Canon Rebel and costs around $600, is an EF lens and will work on the 6D. Good luck with your decision!Naomi Z.

I have a 7D and it slides perfect with my 18-135. For the price it is a good slider. If your willing to invest more money I'm sure you could find better one, but for me i thought this was great.

If you have money to get 6D, don't even look at 7D. 6D is full frame while 7D is crop. While 7D is faster technically, 6D in my opinion will still outperform due to its bigger sensor and better low light capability. 7D could be better to shoot real action sports in good light. For kid's action/sports and low light, 6D is what i would purchase

Rent it first to see if it works for you. It works great in low light, but many people find the autofocus performs poorly in low light conditions. A full frame DSLR might work better, but it won't be as light. Finally, the A7 probably isn't small enough to get passed security if you don't have a press pass for the venue.

The 7D may have a better AF system, but there is nothing wrong with the 6D AF. With practice and skill, you can work around any 6D AF deficiencies for your application. But the 7D will not get you the low-light indoor shots that the 6D will. I upgraded from a 40D basically because of the high quality high ISO. It is amazing how the indoor shots of my grandchildren come out.

I used XTi for 3 weeks and exchanged with 30D. with no hesitation buy 30D.1. 30D is way better than XTi2. Does well in low light3. Feels good in hand, where as XTI is small, to many controls in too little space4. 30D build quality is good, worth the price5. Quality of the pic is also good6. Don't worry about 10MP of XTi7. I love 5frames per sec and quality of each pic in burst mode8. At room light, 30D did very good, kit lens did better than XTI w/ 17-85 IS

The 30D, as noted by others, is a much sturdier camera. In addition, keep in mind that it shoots at a faster rate (5 fps), has a more ergonomic set of controls, and shoots better in low light-- ranging all the way up to 3200 ISO after expansion.I wouldn't be surprised to see Canon offer a similar jump to 10.1 MP or higher in this price range soon, more to compete with Nikon's D80 and D200 than to compete with their own product.That said, I'm adding the XTi as a backup to my existing 20D.

I agree with this choice. In natural gym light without a flash, I push my 7D up to 1000 ISO and shoot wide open at f/1.8 and 1/500 shutter speed. Outstanding results with my 85mm f/1.8. Great color saturation, tack sharp and beautiful boekh (blur). The lens is fast enough to keep up with 8fps shooting speed.

Hey David, I purchased the package last year and was very happy with it. It is brand new and the Original Canon 7D. All the lenses are Canon. The only thing, the other products that come with the package are not Canon products, they are cheaper quality products. The upside, if you go and only buy the Canon 7D, you are going to spend around the same price.

I have the Canon 7D. The Canon 28mm f/1.8 is not IS but I wanted it for low light. The Canon 28mm IS f/2.8 would be a good lens for your needs. (This is my opinion). But for portraits I use the Canon 85mm f/1.8. Hope this helps.

every camera body is a compromise to some extent. 5d2 is excellent is several areas, but hardly the best in any. Its a great all around camera. If you are looking to shoot sports on birds in flight, not your best choice. canon 1dII and 1dIV, and even 7D are as well as the crop cameras from nikon (d300x) are better at that. However, if you know the advantages of full frame, and want one, I you cant go wrong with it. I have been shooting with it for 2.5 years, and have shot with a nikon d700, d3x, and canon original 5d, and for the price, resolution, video, overall image quality, its truly an excellent camera. every camera body is a compromise to some extent. 5d2 is excellent is several areas, but hardly the best in any.
