It is intended to be a “universal weapon” for a wide variety of photographic tasks and meet the needs of demanding amateur and hobby photographers as well as professionals and professional photographers. The EOS 7D is supposed to be a true high end device and is full of technical equipment. This new innovative strength is certainly due not only to the 5,000 photographers with whom the new camera was developed, but also to the significant loss of market share in the DSLR sector, where Nikon is now on a par with Canon. Sensitivity and refresh rate are just some of the key technologies that the EOS 7D incorporates. A water- and dust-proof magnesium housing, a CMOS sensor with 18 megapixels and with ISO 100 – 12,800, up to 8 frames/s, two Digic 4 image processors, a new 19-point autofocus, a new dual layer exposure measuring system with 63 areas, a 100% viewfinder with 1.0-fold magnification factor and translucent LCD for the insertion of grid or spirit level as well as FullHD film recording with full manual control incl. Autofocus auxiliary light per flash salvoĪttentive observers of the international “rumour mill” already knew it: Canon introduced many years ago this high-end APS-C-DSLR with the EOS 7D.Some options can only be set via direct dialling keys.Large (largest in its class), bright, precise viewfinder.Excellent processing (exception: interface covers).High speed for deceleration-free working.Good image quality at very high resolution, but requires good lenses.From the viewfinder to the autofocus to the features and the image sensor, Canon has reworked everything that makes such a camera. The EOS 7D was Canon’s impressive return to the top of the APS-C DSLR range, which is aimed not so much at beginners but rather at die-hard amateur photographers and professionals.
