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. Capture action as it happens 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.

By Abdul Rahman Aljabri No, but it is so good that one begins to think that question, which never was the case before the 7D was introduced. Both systems, cultures and full frame, has its pros and cons and put in the picture. But before that I would say that I am not very enthusiastic about a camera since the introduction of the 5D MK I four years ago. This is because the 7D camera raises the bar for the cutting point where the user culture will not feel at a disadvantage for users of full frame cameras, especially when combined with an incredible EF-S lenses like the 17-55 f2. 8. How so? The 7D sets a new standard in four important ways. 1. 18 Megapixel produces striking images, which is just shy of the top 3MP current line of full-frame Canon cameras. Just a few years ago, most employees producing stellar results using the camera 16MP 1Ds MKII. Now you have more culture in a parliamentary probe is an important result This result translates into a long run and, perhaps more importantly, clipping power. The shooting wildlife with a 300mm instead of 400mm? You can trim up to 50% 7D files of their original file size and still get sharp images. It is not only easy with the 1D Mk III 10MP files. 2. Many members fear that additional sensors would result in small crop photos Noster, but the surprising thing is that this camera produces images with what appears to be less noise than the 1Ds MKII. The noise level is very good. At 1600 ISO, I still prefer the photos from my 5D MKII, but underneath they are very close to ISO1600. Frankly, I can go with the camera is because most of my portraits professionally designed and product photos are shot at ISO100. Both produce files ISO100 very clean and are virtually indistinguishable. 3. Focus is the only area that was lacking on the previous 1.6 6 crop Canon cameras and this changes the camera that a 1D in focus speed and accuracy, but it's the next best thing in relation to them. It is faster than the Canon 5D MKII, which is known to focus on something faster or output range 50D and 40D. The fourth drive chain is fast, so fast that it is all I need in my professional work in portrait, commercial and product photography. Going through photos taken at 8 fps produces very little difference from frame to frame. You still have quickly subject / object to shoot in favor of a quick drive to see. There are of course many other things I have not covered in this review. But based on the above, all I can say that this camera has really raised the bar for all cameras up and made it much cheaper to a professional level camera for all types of photography to go. If you are considering buying the 5D MKII has been an upgrade this camera to give a test to find it because everything you could to benefit the crop cameras, I always wonder that casual users who focuses a lot of things but to shoot landscape, think they need a full frame, in order to realize their potential. Crop cameras like 50D and 7D are good for most users, and offers many advantages including: 1 greater depth of field at the bottom opening of landscape photography 2 more Tilt-shift effect and because the sensor size compared to the effect (8mm shift is larger In fact, compared to a 22 mm sensor compared to a 35-mm sensor) 3 higher magnification micro lenses and extension tubes because of the smaller sensor (equivalent to 35 mm in full-screen 1:1, 1:1 in the plant equivalent 22mm) 4 smaller and lighter lenses with wider aperture to achieve greater range (ie 17-55 vs. 24-70 2.8 2.8 8 similar scope, but much lighter and smaller) Traditionally, the three areas full-frame cameras to obscure the growing rooms are bright display larger depth of field for portrait photography, and better ISO performance, the last point of the 7D has proven be a problem and more.
