Welcome to the 657th Digital Photography Review newsletter!

It feels like spring might finally be springing here in Seattle, but there's no time to play in the sunshine - we've got work to do. This week we finished our review of Canon's new EOS Rebel T7i/800D and published another of our periodically-updated roundups (there are plenty more to come). We also heard from Erez Marom, who explains why he loves his Canon EF 11-24mm. Continuing that theme, I wrote an article about how much I used to love the EOS-1D Mark II. Ah... memories. You'll find links to all of this content below.
