The respondent contests on EOS 7D comfortable and offers a wide range of controls to prevent the use of the menus. Some buttons require you to think outside the viewfinder properly, but it takes less time than using the main menu.

In terms of performance, the EOS 7D shows some very interesting issues, including low-noise images, a high definition, fast autofocus, shutter speeds. The weak point is the depth of the exposure and color JPEG files. See the full review for more information.

The D300 is half in terms of speed, but not in terms of features. The EOS 7D + also the only one of these can record video in 1080p HD.
