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.

If you're shooting a lot of video, the power zoom feature on this lens should make a huge difference. I just bought it for that purpose but haven't been able to try it out yet. However for me manual zoom (which I far prefer for stills) just isn't steady enough for video.

Well, I am using a Nikon D3X and it works well on my camera. I suppose it would work fine on your Canon 7D as well. By the way, Eye-Fi has a new 32G version available. You can give it a try.

I use the 2X on a SP 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di VC USD lens, on a T3i camera. It works nicely for me but don't know how it would work on a 7D. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Personally I like this lens a lot... so I think it will work for anything you're wanting to shoot with it. The only issues I've run into with it are images can be soft at times. Not sure if that's the lens or the photographer! :0)

I own both the T3i and the 7D and I can tell you that this lens performs just as well with both camera bodies. I really do think this is one of the finest lenses canon makes in terms of quality and sharpness of images. If you know how to manipulate the camera setting for your desired results, you will be amazed at how this lens will perform with the T3i! I give my highest recommendation if you are considering the 100mm f/2.8 macro!

I have the 18-135mm STM lens and if your planning to do any video shooting its a better buy hands down! I use this lens daily! I also have the 40mm STM lens the STM version is quiet and it seems to work best with the Canon DSLR's

Can't help you out here but I would suspect that the inherent DOF range in kinds of lenses would make it a good choice. You're not auto focusing with video anyway so glass quality and to some extent weight might be your considerations in buying this lens.

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!

Have only used it with Canon 5D Mark II shooting video. Works great. Also used for streaming saved videos. Works great in that way too. Examples of video ontakingmathlessons.com Hope this helps.

I believe you can use it on the t4i, but I wouldn't recommend it for shooting videos. Its a long range camera lens so its harder to steady it to take a picture. And if you are only shooting video then I wouldn't recommend it because it will be extremely hard to keep it steady and focused on your subject. If you do need a long range lens like this for video make sure you have a tripod and make sure you keep it steady.

I have used mine on a Canon 5D (full frame) and have been very pleased with the results. It is a very sharp lens.

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.

It's a very good and solid lens for Rebel or any canon DSLR. Its focal length is perfect as a travel lens, yet it is small and light enough. Since this lens is old, the price is a bargain. It sure worked wonderful for my 7D for while until I decided to switch to a L lens.

I have not used it for video but use it mated to a Canon 100 to 400 mm zoom, and I am very pleased with the way it allows me to control the camera to allow me to get some amazing shots. I see no reason why it would not work well in a video mode. Good Luck.

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!

I use this lens on my Canon film cameras. As long as it fits your camera it should work fine. Don't force it to fit. Good luck.
