I'm looking to shoot video with a Canon 7D and this lens was recommended. Will it work on my camera and is it good for shooting video?

It will work on your 7D but the motor on this lens has a high pitch sound that is quite loud and will show up on your videos.

I have owned several canon semi-pro cameras, and yes, you can shoot video with it. However, I would suggest the sigma 17-70 2.8-4 C lens which just came outcompared to a lens that is several years old. Both are about the same in sharpness.

Go for the canon 50 km prime that's around $100. Search for videos on YouTube. It's great for video!

It's just your standard Canon EF-S Mount so It should fit your camera. I would recommend using manual focus doing video since you'll hear the motor for auto focus. If you're looking to do video with the auto focus on the STM Canon lenses are real quiet.

The 24-105 f/4L IS USM lens works great with the 7d, it's the lens I'm currently using as a 'walk around' lens on my own 7d. We also use that lens on my wife's 40D. Sometimes we argue over who gets to use that lens. Good choice!

Yes I use it with a 7d and a 70-200 mm f2.8 works great its small enough to be moblie strong enough for any weight.

I've used this lens on my original 40D and my current 7D. With Canon's pattern of making lenses and cameras that are consistently comparable I would be surprised if it didn't work.

It is a great lens. It should work fine. I have used it on a A6000 and NEX 7 and NEX 6.

My 28-200mm f/3.5 lens works well with my Cannon 7D. I don't see any reason it would not work with a more expensive camera like yours. I am sure the cannon web site or a local camera shop could give you an expert opinion.

Yes the 7D shoots great video, Lots of music videos are shot on 7Ds and 5Ds. No IS but many lenses do have it.

Sorry to take so long to respond. I've only used this lens for video once, and it was on a very sturdy tripod. A lens this short would probably cause little problems with shaky images in video. If you already have the 14-to-140mm lens that the GH2 is usually shipped with, you already have 20mm focal length covered. The only advantage to this lens is the larger aperture, which will allow for faster shutter speeds in still mode. If you are shooting video indoors in available light, this lens might be worth the investment. I shoot a lot of video and use a top quality tripod with an expensive video head for steady shooting and smooth panning. The GH2 100-to-300mm lens with the GH2's built in optical teleconverter equates to a 1540mm telephoto lens in 35mm film! At that length any vibration at all is magnified. But anyway, I didn't buy the 20mm for use in video mode. I'll do some testing and give you an update.

I think it would be a good choice. I use it on a D-700 (full frame), and it's a nice sharp lens with minimal perspective distortion.

Yes. This works fine with canon 7D if you are not using big lens. With big lens its difficult to hold for long time.

Better for video but I have taken pics with this lens in middle of video shoots and it does look great! but it is manual lens and no IS so keep that in mind. Samyang/Rokinon do make a non cine lens like this i would go with that.

I use this card on a 7D with good results. Better to have more speed and capacity because you never know when you will need it. The 7D does great video. You will eventually use it v

I really recommend you this combo if you are starting on video or photography. The body of the canon 7d is excellent and the lenses that come with the kit work well. If you considered yourself a Pro or if you are looking for a specific kind of lens, then I recommend you to buy just the body!

It works with the 7D, but I'm not sure about the lens. I have the EF100-400 and it only works on manual focus.

It's a new lens designed for this camera. it's one of the three STM lenses that are specifically useful for video. So, if you plan on doing any video with your camera, you might has well buy this lens as part of the kit. it's not very expensive and the tech reviews of the lens -- for video purposes - have been quite good. I have all three STM lenses. The one I use the most is the longer zoom lens, but still given the price -- if you video -- you need this lens.

I have a Canon 5D Mark III and the lens works great. It comes with an adaptor so it fits on canon cameras.

The Tamron lens for Canon mount will surely work. I had used this on 7D. The mount for the Canon 7D is same as T5i. If you are looking for a good budget telephoto lens, then this is it. Check out my review for this lens.
