| Bottom line | An excellent midrange dSLR, the Canon EOS 7D delivers for the money. | An unsurprisingly great camera that's worth every penny of its higher price for its target market of professional nonsports photographers, the Nikon D800 should definitely please those who've been waiting patiently to replace their older Nikon equipment. |
