Review of the Canon EOS 7D 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3-inch LCD and 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens by Canon
Canon’s EOS 7D was the top of the camera for personal use when it was released in 2009. The features and specs have come to be recognized as fairly standard in a camera of this caliber. The EOS 7D features dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors, for speeds up to 8 fps and able to capture images at up to ISO 12,800. Auto-focus systems track subjects or the user can select the AF area. The Intelligent Viewfinder offers 100% coverage and displays a spot metering circle and grid lines on demand.
The EOS 7D stands out from the rest of Canon’s cameras for having a magnesium alloy body as opposed to plastic. This makes it a heavier and more durable camera that is dust- and weather-resistant. The EOS 7D is a goal for photo enthusiasts who are exploring their creativity and pushing the boundaries of the Rebel line of Canon cameras. Professional photographers also trust the Canon brand and use the EOS 7D for its features and options.
The major features of the Canon EOS 7D include the 18 megapixel CMOS Sensor that allows for excellent cropping capabilities without the loss of detail and sharpness. Auto Lighting Optimizer and Lens Peripheral optimization are benefits of the Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors, as well as the full HD movie recording and Face Detection Live Mode.
The 7D offers manual exposure control and selectable frame rates in movie mode, boasting one of the most advanced movie capturing capabilities available in the personal digital camera market. Of course, in camera editing is also a popular and impressive feature, and movies are saved as .MOV files which can be viewed in Full HD with HDMI output. Many amateurs find that this camera is a great step up from the EOS 60D, but a little too far of a leap from the Rebel series.
