Well I just ordered a Canon T7 camera. I'm kind of excited about it. Give me some positive and negative feedback on this camera. Also I want to see photos taken using this camera. Thank you

The T7 is an excellent entry level dslr, similar to the T6 with one notable exception, the T6 has the 24 mp sensor. Can't show you photo's, when you receive the camera, why don't you post some photo's and show us what they look like?

A circular polarizer and neutral density filter would be the mode useful.

A circular polarizer would be my first filter effect I would own.

Think maybe the lens and what diameter it uses would help?
Just a thought.

It's kinda late now. You should be aware of the pros and cons before buying something.

Just be aware that normal flashes will no longer work on that camera. Canon is making a "special" flash to work with it.

Sorry, the T6 is only 18MP. The T6i was 24MP.

By far the most useful filter for digital photography is a Circular Polarizer.

If you bought the camera "in kit" with a lens, that would be the EF-S 18-55mm. It uses a 58mm filter. All things considered, I recommend high quality, multi-coated B+W F-Pro or X-Pro Circular Polarizing filters, which cost $57 and $65 respectively in that size. Those filters are actually a very good value. Other C-Pol filters with the same features and quality cost 50% to 100% more. There are cheaper C-Pol, too, but they aren't multi-coated, use lower quality glass, etc. Keep in mind that a filter will effect every image shot through it.... So I want the best quality possible and don't think it's worth the few $ that might be saved buying cheap. But, at the same time, I see little reason to spend 1.5X to 2X as much with no further gain in quality.

A C-Pol filter isn't something you need to use all the time. But it is easily the most useful of all filters for digital photography and can do things that cannot be replicated in post-processing (where most other filters can be pretty easily emulated). See Steve's video for more info about using C-Pol filters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMOsBG2JaZY

Other filters that might be less frequently needed, that are considerably more specialized, include Neutral Density in various strengths. Those are used in bright light to make extra long exposures (tripod required) or to be able to use really large lens apertures (which the 18-55mm doesn't have). UV or Clear Protection filters are the only other type of filter that maybe needed, but really only serve any purpose when out shooting in a sandstorm or at a paintball battle or similar. I usually use one at the beach, just to be safe and because salt spray is difficult to clean off optics.

Canon EF-S 18-55mm lens doesn't come with a lens hood. I'd highly recommend you get and use a matched hood because it both improves images by keeping oblique light off the lens and it helps to physically protect the lens from bumps and damage while shooting. There are several different EF-S 18-55mm lenses and they use different lens hoods. So, depending upon which of those lenses you got with the camera, you'll need EW-60C for an EF-S 18-55mm IS "II" or an EW-63C for an EF-S 18-55mm IS "STM" lens.

If you got the two-lens kit, the second lens is probably a Canon EF 75-300mm "III" telephoto zoom. That also doesn't come with a lens hood (only the premium "L-series" Canon lenses come with hoods). Get the ET-60 hood for use with that lens. The EF 75-300 "III" also uses 58mm filters, so it can share whatever you get for use on the 18-55mm.

Canon's own hoods for these lenses aren't terribly expensive. But there are slightly cheaper third party hoods... Manufacturers such as Vello offer close copies that probably work just as well.

The T7 has a 24MP sensor. The T6 uses the 18MP sensor, Ched.

You're asking for positive and negative feedback and demo photos AFTER ordering it? Isn't that backwards?

Carter, could you please clarify your "Special Flash comment?" I look to you for definitive info, and I have a 77D, which is close to the same camera, and I'm not aware that the "EX" flashes not working on them"--and I'm about to buy a flash.

Thanks, and hope all is well in beautiful Montana,
C
