Product Description
A Whole New Class of EOS.
With a host of brand new features designed to enhance every facet of the
photographic process, from still images to video, the new EOS 7D represents a
whole new class of camera.
Made to be the tool of choice for serious photographers and semi-professionals,
the EOS 7D features an all-new 18.0 Megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor and Dual
DIGIC 4 Image Processors, capturing tremendous images at up to ISO 12800 and
speeds of up to 8 fps. The EOS 7D has a new all cross-type 19-point AF system
with improved AI Servo AF subject tracking and user-selectable AF area selection
modes for sharp focus no matter the situation.
The EOS 7D's Intelligent Viewfinder, an entirely newly-designed technology,
provides 100% coverage and displays user-selected AF modes as well as a spot
metering circle and on demand grid lines. New iFCL Metering with 63-zone
dual-layer metering system uses both focus and color information to provide
accurate exposure even in difficult lighting.
The EOS 7D also captures Full HD video at 30p (29.97 fps), 24p (23.976 fps) and
25p with an array of manual controls, including manual exposure during movie
shooting and ISO speed selection. The EOS 7D features a magnesium alloy body
that is dust- and weather-resistant and shutter durability of up to 150,000
cycles. Compatible with over 60 EF and EF-S lenses as well as with EOS System
accessories, the creative opportunities - not just with stills but also with
video - are beyond amazement.
18.0-megapixel CMOS sensor and Dual DIGIC 4 image processors
The EOS 7D features a Canon-designed 18.0-megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor that
captures such a high level of resolution it's easy to crop images for
enlargement without concern of losing detail. A major factor in reducing noise,
the CMOS sensor assures that images shot at highest sensitivity will be
remarkably smooth. Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors ensure that images are
captured, processed and saved with remarkable speed. The EOS 7D's ability to
capture and process data of images shot at 18.0 Megapixels at 8 fps, as well as
Face Detection Live Mode, Full HD video recording, Auto Lighting Optimizer and
Lens Peripheral optimization are all possible thanks to the Dual DIGIC 4 Image
Processors.
ISO 100-6400 (expandable to 12,800) for shooting from bright to dim light
With a broad range of ISO settings, the EOS 7D enables shooting from dawn
through dusk and ensures capture of the finest detail. With enhanced, low-noise
high-sensitivity optimization, shooting in situations previously possible only
with flash becomes as simple as point and shoot.
8.0fps continuous shooting up to 126 Large/JPEGs with UDMA CF card and 15 RAW
Capable of shooting up to 126 Large/JPEGs with a UDMA CF card and 15 RAW at 8
fps, the EOS 7D is a perfect camera for action. Canon's remarkable shutter,
combined with speedy, sophisticated electronics, ensures instant response and
performance. A rapidly-occurring scene can be captured moment by moment, second
by second, so that even the briefest of opportunities are captured in perfect
clarity.
Advanced movie mode with manual exposure control and selectable frame rates
Boasting the most advanced EOS movie capturing features to date, the EOS 7D does
not just shoot video clips, it offers the enhanced image quality, smooth frame
rates and adaptive exposure compensation necessary in a professional
movie-making tool. By shooting video with a large sensor camera, it's simple to
take advantage of the image characteristics intrinsic to SLR photography and not
necessarily to video cameras. In addition to a number of different recording
size and frame rate modes, the EOS 7D enables easy manual control of exposure,
focus and Live View features and even allows for in-camera editing. The large
CMOS sensor and compatibility with over 60 lenses provide a wealth of
depth-of-field options. And it's all as easy as the press of a button--the EOS
7D has a dedicated Live View/Movie Recording lever with a start/stop button that
gets the shooting started fast.
Three recording sizes for video
Full HD Video is captured at 1920 x 1080 resolution at 30p (29.97), 24p (23.976)
or 25p frames per second, for up to 4GB per clip. Movies are saved as .MOV files
and can be viewed in Full HD with HDMI output. Other recording sizes include HD
at 1280 x 720 (50p / 60p (59.94) fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (50p / 60p (59.94)
fps).
Intelligent Viewfinder with 100% field of view and wide viewing angle
The EOS 7D features a phenomenal redesigned viewfinder that not only offers 100
percent coverage, 1x magnification, a 29.4-degree angle of view and
user-controlled dioptric adjustment, it also features a newly-designed
transparent LCD display which enables a number of viewfinder displays to be
overlaid at the touch of a button. Whereas with other cameras the representation
of AF points and metering areas are static, with the EOS 7D, they can be
displayed, adjusted and hidden, in camera, with ease. This means less
distraction and more clarity to view the image in its entirety. Display options
include: grid, spot metering, AF points display, hide all, zone AF, spot
(single-point) AF, AF point expansion and Dual Axis Electronic Level display.
The EOS 7D even features a brilliant new Dual Axis Electronic Level and tilt
display that aids in achieving perfectly level shots, displaying both roll and
pitch in 1-degree increments, either in the viewfinder or on the LCD
New 19-point, all cross-type AF system equipped with dual diagonal cross-type
sensors
Canon packed its most advanced technologies into the EOS 7D's AF system. With 19
high precision, cross-type AF sensors, any of which can be selected
automatically or manually, the EOS 7D is equipped to handle even the trickiest
of focus situations with ease. The high-speed microcomputers in the EOS 7D use
advanced algorithms that help ensure the fastest, most accurate AF performance
under the widest variety of conditions. In addition, Canon's Light Source
detection AF automatically compensates the focus by taking into account
artificial lighting sources and making appropriate adjustments and the EOS 7D's
new Intelligent Macro focusing tracks the object or the cameras movement when
shooting close-up, to ensure focus is never lost. AF modes can be customized to
suit the situation, ensuring reliable focus, every time.
iFCL Metering with 63 zone dual-layer metering sensor
The EOS 7D features a new, 63 zone dual-layer sensor designed to complement the
19-point AF system. By taking into account the color and luminosity surrounding
chosen AF points, this new system delivers an entirely new level of accuracy for
better results even in difficult lighting situations. Since the metering sensor
has a color measurement function, exposure errors and focus errors caused by
different light sources are minimized; the EOS 7D gives stable exposure from
shot to shot in situations where light changes, such as in a theater or concert
hall. This makes the EOS 7D ideal for scenes with extreme difference in
brightness such as brightly lit scenes or backlit scenes; the camera balances
exposure of the main subject at the background, and exposures are not overly
influenced by bright areas in the shot.
Magnesium body with shutter durability up to 150,000 cycles
The EOS 7D is constructed of the highest quality materials, to exacting
standards to ensure unfettered performance at all times. For example, the
shutter can shoot at speeds up to 1/8000 sec for 150,000 cycles; the chassis is
built of lightweight and rigid magnesium, and the camera's seals are built to
resist water and dust. This combination makes the EOS 7D will be ready for
anything.
