Beyond the Still.
With
a host of features designed to enhance every facet of the photographic
process, from still images to video, the EOS 7D represents an advanced
class of camera. Made to be the tool of choice for serious photographers
and semi-professionals, the EOS 7D features an 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 8.0 fps. The EOS 7D has
an 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 provides 100%
coverage and displays user-selected AF modes as well as a spot metering
circle and on-demand grid lines. 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 video 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.
