The result of a 1.6x crop gives shooters that need longer focal lengths a bit of an in-camera stretch to their lenses. 1.6x Crop = Longer ZoomsĪnother big bonus for sports and bird shooters is the use of the APS-C format sensor. It seems Canon may have found a nice balance between image resolution and acceptable noise levels with the 7D.
This hasn’t been as prevalent in the first impressions of the Canon 7D – perhaps due to its promising low light, high ISO performance. You generally get a lot of groans when a camera company packs so many pixels on a sensor. Sports and wedding shooters have to love this ability to shoot available light at higher shutter speeds. We can’t wait to see what a production model does. Initial reports suggest that the Canon 7D is a stellar performer at higher ISOs however, I believe most/all of these are based on a pre-production model evaluation. The Canon 7D offers a sensitivity range of ISO 100-12800. Additionally, the 7D offers a number of different ways you can select and make use of these 19 AF points: Single AF point, Spot AF, Area AF, Zone AF, and Auto.
The system also includes dual diagonal cross-type sensors in the center at f/2.8 and f/5.6. Canon has obviously invested some serious R&D time on the Canon 7D’s new 19-point, all cross-type AF system. The 7D’s new AF system may make it more attractive than the 1D Mark III, which has been plagued with autofocus issues nearly since the camera was released. It’s just a bit shy of Canon’s flagship sports shooter, the Canon 1D Mark III, which captures 10 frames per second. The Canon 7D can capture images at up to 8 frames per second in machine gun mode, which puts it in the category with other pro-level sports cameras. Here’s 7 things that make it stand out from the DSLR crowd. While the camera has been packed full of hype, it seems that it may be well-deserved hype – the 7D packs some serious ammunition. The Canon 7D has received a lot of attention since (and even before) its announcement on September 1, 2009.
