Canon 7D

Superlative Image Quality

The EOS 7D features a superb, Canon designed, 18.0 Megapixel CMOS sensor that incorporates a number of significant refinements to enhance the capture of each image. Thanks to advanced, in-house semiconductor manufacturing, the EOS 7D�s sensor has more pixels than any other APS-C sized sensor in the Canon lineup, with less digital noise, a higher ISO sensitivity (up to 12800 in H mode) plus a wider dynamic range than previously available. The EOS 7D employs a 14-bit converter to process the output of the CMOS sensor for smooth tonal transitions, natural gradations and striking color fidelity. The EOS 7D�s Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors help to ensure that images are captured, processed and saved with remarkable speed � up to 8.0 frames per second.

Full HD Video Capture

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. Shooting video with the EOS 7D increases flexibility for the photographer by allowing full use of Canon�s EF and EF-S lenses, including wide angle, macro, tilt-shift and fisheye, providing a wealth of depth-of-field and other creative shooting options once reserved only for still photography. By shooting video with a large sensor camera, it�s simple to take advantage of the image quality and characteristics intrinsic to SLR photography. Combined with its size, image quality and flexibility, the EOS 7D is an all-in-one image-capturing tool.

Professional Level Performance

Capable of shooting up to 126 Large/JPEGs with a UDMA CF card at 8.0 fps, the EOS 7D is a perfect camera for action. The EOS 7D is outfitted with a rugged, rotary magnet shutter, which, aided by the Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors, ensures instant response and performance on par with most professional cameras on the market while outpacing every camera in its class. Featuring a revamped 19-point highprecision, all cross-type AF point system with dedicated microprocessors, the AF system helps to ensure the fastest, most accurate AF under a wide variety of shooting conditions. The EOS 7D also has a broad range of ISO settings, up to ISO 12800 in H mode, for finely-detailed dawn-to-dusk shooting. RAW images are recorded at 14 bits so that processed 16-bit TIFF images contain the full range of tonal values.
