After all, you’ve already invested your money in some high-quality glass, and for many of us, there isn’t an urge to sell all our Canon gear just to switch to Sony. Canon photographer who has a bunch of lenses would probably want to hang on just a bit longer.
Due to this fact, the Canon 7D is not an obvious pick when you plan to purchase a new DSLR or upgrade from your current setup. It’s a camera that most probably will get its replacement pretty soon, as it finished its two-year shelf-life and deserved a replacement.
The Canon EOS 7D was announced on September 1, 2009. So here we go, a thought-through comparison between two upper mid-range cameras, the Sony A77 vs.
After going over the specs of Sony’s latest SLT camera, it seems like a very good debate to raise on this blog. I must admit that before the announcement of the A77, I didn’t come across so many comments about people considering getting a mid-range or high-end Sony DSLR over a Canon one. The 7D costs approximately $150 more than the A77, and for an enthusiast photographer who wants to invest in a good camera, that’s not a big barrier. As I browsed photography forums and read users comments and posts, I can see that many people DO consider buying the Sony Alpha SLT-A77 instead of a Canon Digital SLR camera. In this comparison article, I want to compare the Canon 7D versus Sony A77.
