My Appologies To Canon for my previous & Incorrect review - The Camera Is Very Good - My Bad
By Michael L. Williams on Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2022
I originally mentioned a shakiness on playback problem using the 60fps, but this proved to be the fault of my playback being used on my PC, the playback on the camera is great and I found the problem on the PC to be from particular playback software, using other software the 60fps videos were fine. I love it, but For beginners? Well, maybe if it's a very smart beginner who's half engineer and catches on quick, and doesn't want to spend several thousand on their first camera. In other words, you don't have to be an engineer to figure these things out and get them working right, but it sure doesn't hurt anything if you are. But once you get it figured out it's pretty good stuff. I'd say it's both for beginners and pros alike. You can get into that mega-bucks camera from NASA a little later. And those fancy things mounted on the tiny helicopters, yeah they do really cool stuff and get great scenery, but not so good for the close-up stuff I like. This one is perfect for now, with the Canon interchangeable lenses. Both the Canon 18 mm & 300 mm I have a great zoom on them, in addition to the digital zoon that can also be used in some modes. So if it's telephoto shooting you're looking for, look no further. Setting up the WiFi & Bluetooth for remote control use with a phone or tablet I found difficult, but I got through it. Love the fact that it does video as well as photos. Was going to get the T8i with the 4K but some of the reviews were not too keen on that. 4K is a bit top heavy with the bandwidth demands and all, it's nice but not that nice when it doesn't work so well, this T7i does a great job with the 1080p and is nearly as good as 4K and less money. I also saw some bashing of the lenses and Auto-Focus regarding this camera, but I've found the lenses and auto-focus to be just fine. In fact I have a 300 mm Canon telephoto lens that has very good auto-focus, and good stabilization as well. It takes good pics and telephoto videos. Love the sound on it, and love the ability to use the sound on Auto or adjustable Manual. I have one of these fancy tiny things people use when jumping off cliffs, from a plane or trying to kill themselves on a motorcycle, but the built in sound does work but is less than ideal, so I use an external microphone with it. Who wants to hear the screams of someone dying anyway. Better to have a silent crash. The sound on this is very nice without an external mic., but an external mic can also be used if desired.

Horrible video quality, ok for stills
By CHILI on Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2017
I'm primarily a Nikon shooter. Before that I used Canon caneras. I moved from Canon because of bad IQ from sensors. As a wedding photographer, I needed better dynamic range and file flexibility than Canon was giving me. After shooting with Nikon cameras the last few years, I decided to purchase the t7i as I was interested in shooting video in AF , not manually focused, and thought that enough time had elapsed that Canon has stepped up their IQ game. But that has unfortunately not happened. The t7i has the same IQ as the Sl1 I used to own, except that it's a bit better in low light for stills. The color is subjective whether one likes it or not, but the fact is that Nikon is much closer to reality. Canon colors are more saturated than reality and Sony's are terrible. Nikon has beautiful color according to my taste and as mentioned, closer to reality. But that could be fixed with picture profiles and post processing, so I didn't send back the camera because of color. The handling is fantastic. Much better button layout than the Nikon cameras, according to my preference and the touchscreen is a joy to use. Photo quality is nothing to write home about, a little better in low light than the Canon cropped sensors of a few years ago and also a bit better than the Sony a6000, except for the DR. But definitely inferior to Nikon. Dual pixel is very good, that is the reason I bought it. And the reason I sent it back is because the video IQ is horrible, very unsharp and tons of artifacts. It is simply unusable. My Nikons have pretty good video quality but I directly compared the t7i to the a6000, both with the kit lenses, because they both have usable video AF ( unlike the Nikon cameras). The Sony has great video IQ and the Canon has terrible video IQ. Also, the dynamic range of the t7i's video is worse than its stills. The blacks are ugly and crushed and I couldn't change that even after setting the video picture profile to "neutral" and the contrast to the lowest setting. So I sent it right back for a return. What's the point of dual pixel if the video IQ is so bad? Edit: Since my Canon g40 camcorder has excellent video quality ( for a half inch sensor), I wanted to find out why Canon cameras, including their mirrorless have bad video IQ. It seems, according to what I've read, that Canon DSLRs and mirroless cameras don't do full pixel readout from their sensors only skip lines and that is causing the bad video IQ. I'm not sure if this is also the case for FF cameras, only crop, but my 6d also had unusable video quality.
