I an very curious to find a reasonable explanation to the frame rate drop in low light conditions.

Also mentioned in the mini review:
http://www.canonrumors.com/canon-eos-7d-mini-review/ (slowdown of the frame rate).

IMHO, the argument “frame rate is sacrificed in favor of metering accuracy” is deceiving because the slowdown is showing, also, in manual mode. Locking exposure works as a workaround. Manual mode (the equivalent to locking exposure) does not work.

I don’t own a 7D. I’d like one, but hidden flaws like this one is discouraging.

I’d have bought a G11 as they added the swivel back but they left off the HD video, not spending that kinda money to not have at least 720p on it.

Until recently the G6 was the was the wife’s camera but I got her a Lumix ZS1. I honestly think the pictures from the G6 that is several years old look better but it is hard to argue with 12X zoom and HD video that can fit in your pocket. The G6 is still a bit large.

I have had no issues with the G6 swivel screen after almost 5 years and ~10,000 shots but have to admit it has spent 90% of its life in one position.

My children are still quite young and rough. If the G6 could survive 1 month with them I would call it indestructible, but I am not confident enough to try. Instead it spends its time on a shelf usefully collecting dust.

There you have it. 2 case studies that together definitively prove swivel screens are not prone to failure.

Exactly. I have a 50D, great camera. I didnt suggest this because he wanted video.

Blog comments? How is that authoritative on the issue? We have plenty of personal opinion right here. lol

Obviously the 7D is not as weather sealed as a 1D series. But to say it does not have weather sealing is just untrue. Look at the Canon link again, it even shows neat little pictures of the seals around the camera.

OK, so 6.8 years still makes one very outdated camera. My G1 is 9 years old now, they’re at G11 now, still works great even with its swivel screen. I dont use it anymore because my little SD500 beats the pants off it.

However, both my kids use it, and it’s become the kid camera of the family for the past 4 years. And you know how kids are, rough, it gets dropped, banged and treated much worse than I treated it…so you can quote engineering estimates at me all day long and if its 6 years or 55 years, the fact is having the swivel has not made the camera or any of my camcorders more prone to breaking.

what David said, or:

you could get the 50D. I’ve compared 50D shots against my friends’ 40Ds and my own 30D and there is nothing to suggest the 50D’s image quality is inferior.

if you look at the 50D reviews on Amazon, they are hugely and overwhelmingly positive regarding its functionality and image quality. the people I know who bought 50Ds and actively shoot with them also have no qualms about having done so.

if the 7D hadn’t come out, or had been disappointing, I was ready to get a 50D myself.
