T
he strongest point
for me is the fact
that I can have a very
small, compact camera
that takes the full com-
pliment of
lenses,
with built-
in flash.
What sold
me was the availability
to switch quickly from
color to B&W. You can
very easily set up sev-
eral custom settings,
which is fantastic. One
moment I’m shooting
RAW stills, then I
switch instantly to
B&W to shoot HD
video, and back to
color for stills. It’s very
seamless and intuitive.
This is a fantastic little
jewel of a camera!”

18.0 Megapixel
CMOS Sensor
The EOS 7D features a powerful,
Canon designed, 18.0 Megapixel
CMOS sensor that captures a tremen-
dous level of resolution with striking
detail down to each individual pixel. With
size to spare, it’s easy to crop images or to make
massive enlargements without concern of losing detail. A
marvel of technical innovation, the EOS 7D’s CMOS sensor
incorporates a number of significant refinements: 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, plus a wider dynamic range than
before. The EOS 7D’s CMOS sensor incorporates a unique
on-chip noise reduction technology to deal with both fixed
pattern and random noise. A new photodiode construction
results in an improved photoelectric conversion rate, mean-
ing faster and increased sensitivity at the pixel level. Finally,
an infrared and a multi-layer low-pass filter are placed in
front of the sensor to isolate and eliminate false colors,
while retaining full detail. This low pass filter features a
fluorine coating to reduce dust adhesion for less digital
clean up.
Advanced Video Capture
The EOS 7D’s Movie mode combined with
its compact size increases flexibility. Allowing
for the full use of over 60 Canon EF and EF-S lenses, the
photographer may take advantage of the EOS 7D’s expan-
sive range of ISO sensitivities and to exert full manual
control over exposure and
depth-of-field. Full HD video is
captured at 1920 x 1080 resolution at
24 (23.976), 25, or 30 (29.97) fps, for up
to 4GB per clip. Other recording sizes include
HD at 1280 x 780 resolution at 50/60 (59.94) fps
or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (50/60 fps).
Dual DIGIC 4 Image
Processors
The EOS 7D’s new Dual
DIGIC 4 Image Processors ensure that
images are captured, processed and
saved with remarkable speed — up to
8.0 frames per second! Developed and
produced to maximize performance
for both the capture and recording
stages of digital photography, Dual
DIGIC 4 Image Processors work in
concert with Canon CMOS sensor
chips to dramatically enhance image quality and deliver
a more intuitive, responsive camera. Optimized signal
processing algorithms work with the multi-channel
signal from the camera’s sensor to deliver significantly
speedier camera response. Live Face Detection AF, HD
Video, Canon’s amazing Auto Lighting Optimizer, Lens
Peripheral Illumination Correction and more are all pos-
sible thanks to the speedy processing of the Dual DIGIC 4
Image Processors.
