here comes Canon EOS 7D!

horaay! my first post for the month of september...

ber month started already and Canon announced it's latest dslr entry. the Canon EOS 7D. this high end dslr is feature packed and has loads of improvement from its predecessor the, Canon EOS 50D.

i found the features really great. dpreview even noted that it's more of a big brother of 50D rather than 50D's replacement.

some of its key features are below (taken from http://www.dpreview.com/news/0909/09090105canoneos7d.asp):

• 18 MP APS–C CMOS Sensor
  Designed and manufactured by Canon, the sensor produces an outstanding image and offers fantastic performance at high and low conditions, thanks to a new photodiode and microlens construction.
• 8 fps image capture
  Enabled by the Dual “DIGIC 4” processors and improved electrical system, photographers can capture images at 8fps, without the need for additional accessories and in all file types.
• ISO Range
  The EOS 7D enables photographers to capture subjects in their natural light. The ISO range (100 – 6,400) is expandable to 12,800.
• EOS Movie
  With improved operation, making it easy to switch directly to movie mode, it is now even simpler to shoot Full HD video. Users can set exposure and frame rate – with options for 24 fps to create that cinematic feel.
• Dual “DIGIC 4” processors
  By utilising Dual “DIGIC 4” processors, users of the EOS 7D never have to compromise between shooting speed, image quality and ISO performance.
• Impressive Design
  Canon has listened to photographer feedback when designing the body, as well as the internal technologies. A magnesium alloy body offers environmental protection – the tough, lightweight construction is designed to defend against moisture, and dust – equivalent to the legendary EOS–1N.

to add up to those mentioned above, it has 19 AF points, remote flash, compatible with EF and EF-S lines of lenses and Canon Speedlites..
