With its EOS 7D, Canon introduces one of the fastest, most efficient DSLRs on the market. To get you up to speed, here are the base specs:
- 18-megapixel APS-C sensor
- Dual DIGIC 4 processors
- 19-point AF system
- 8 frames-per-second
- Magnesium alloy body
- Full HD video (with selectable resolution and frame rate)
- ISO 6400 (extendable to 12800)
- Built-in wireless Speedlite transmitter
- 100% viewfinder coverage (with 1.0x magnification)
Every feature of the EOS 7D is engineered for active photographers with active subjects. Most importantly: the camera is fast/fast/fast, propelled by dual DIGIC 4 processors. These handle heavy, complex data without skipping a beat: bursts at 8fps, noise reduction at ISO 6400 that looks like DIGIC III's ISO 1600, full speed read and write on UDMA cards.
Along with 1080p (24/25/30fps) HD video, the 7D also sports a 720p mode with a frame rate of 60—for more fluid video footage of fast-moving subjects.
The Canon EOS 7D is packed with features—too many to describe here. So, two final, important notes:
- You can read all the specific details of the 7D on calumetphoto.com.
- This remarkable DSLR is now available for pre-order from Calumet Photo. Place your order now to be one of the first to own the Canon EOS 7D.

Better Audio with Your Video DSLR
Thanks to BeachTek's DXA-5D XLR Adapter
While its video capabilities have impressed even veteran cinematographers, the Canon 5D Mark II's audio capture leaves something to be desired.
The object that fulfills that desire is Beachtek's XLR adapter, which takes the mini stereo input on video-enabled DSLRs like the 5D Mark II and turns it into a professional audio input controller.
As its name suggests, the Beachtek adapter provides two XLR inputs for professional grade microphones. It also packs in functionality that boosts the effectiveness of the 5D Mark II as a video capture rig:
- Control of audio levels
- Monitoring of input through headphones and display
- Override of the camera's auto gain control
- Support for many professional mics via phantom power
The adapter fits snugly at the base of the camera, adding a little size but a whole lot of functionality.
