Tag Archives: Canon EOS 7D

The Canon 7D is an 18 megapixel DSLR camera that can shoot at 1080p with 24-30fps.  The price of the camera is $1,899.  This is quite steep for the average consumer, but not a bad price for professional photographers.

The 7D is more rugged than the 5D, but the body is more weatherproof.  The camera has a button dedicated for switching to RAW+JPEG modes.  There is also an electronic axis level with dual DIGIC IV image processors.

The dual DIGIC image processors allow the cameraman to far burst shoot images at 94-shot JPEG bursts or 15 RAW shots at full resolution with 14-bit A/D conversion.  There are 19 cross-type points for focusing and default focus points can be locked into horizontally or vertically.  All 19 cross-type points are f/5.6 sensitive.  ISO speed settings range from 100-6400, but can be expanded to 12,800.  Full HD video can be captured at a resolution of 1920 x 1080.
