Yes
i been thinking about getting another camera ,
i have a canon 1200d at the moment but fancy getting another,i have been looking at both of the above ( still on a budget)
what do you lot think ?
any info or advice greatly recieved,
 
The 7D is an excellent camera, the 750D is a different class and is more entry level. Quality wise, I'd suspect the 750Dwould have the edge, eosowcaly at higher iOS. Other advantages are a flip out touch screen and more modern styling; but at the expense of a rugged build and a fast 7 FPS. It's a tough one; I think for me I'd be tempted with the 750D though if it was up to me. Perhaps go and have a good look in a second hand store like London Canera Exchabge. Hope this helps!
 
What's your budget and what do you want to use it for.

As ime quite new ime using it for a bit of everything at the moment.
Budget is about £400 - £450
Maybe more if i sell my 1200d.but i may keep it not decided yet.
 
Both great cameras, the 7d would offer a higher frame rate, the 750d sensor would be much improved on the iso. There are so many options, a 60d is a great contender too You might be able to get a 70d around your budget.
What lenses do you currently have?

I have a sigma 150-500
A sigma 17-70
A tamron 28-200
They are my main ones.
 
As above, they're more different than similar. Making a direct comparison almost impossible.

Actually, just checked and it's only the 760d that has the rear wheel. For me, for ergonomics it's be the 7d all day, I hate the feel of the xxxd cameras (the 760d could sway me). The 7d is the best bang for buck Canon body you can buy right now.
 
If you have a 1200D I don't see the 750D being an amazing upgrade, the 7D is a completely different deal even though older, and then the question what do you usually shoot with your camera

Ime shooting a bit of anything & everything at the moment tbh.
 
I came from a 550D and now have a 7D2 and a 5D3, so I don't directly know about the 7D and 5D2, except I'd say they are quite different. I think one of the things to think about is, what is it about your current camera that is not meeting your needs? For me it was frames per second and speed that prompted the upgrade.

The 7D is quicker, good for things like sports and wildlife. It has a cropped sensor. In a nutshell this means it gets you closer to the action for the same focal length lens. The downside (compared with the 5D2) is that it is not so good in low light at high ISO.

The 5D2 is a full frame camera. This means it has a bigger sensor, will be better in low light. It will require EF lenses, whereas the 7D will be able to use both EF and EF-S lenses. EF lenses are generally more expensive. I am not sure of the specs, but I expect it has far fewer focus points to choose from and less frames per second.

Your current lenses may not fit the 5D2 if they are EF-S lenses.

By the way I kept my 550D for a while as I was so attached to it, but in the end I just didn't use it, so I'd have been better off selling it as soon as I moved on.

If you're not certain what your needs are, then I'd wait to before deciding. Good luck with your choice.
 
Well ive gone & bought a 2nd hand 7d.
Any advice ?
Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow as ive booked friday off work to go out with the camera for the day.( just hope weather stays dry)
