Canon 7D Photo & Video Cameras in Tanzania
Many thanks to George Abramashvili for the opportunity to review the legendary Canon EOS 7D body camera.
The Canon 7D is a very unusual semi-professional camera, although I personally consider the Canon 7D to be a true professional cropped camera. The Canon 7D is the only camera in its subclass of Canon's CZK, the newer EOS 6D is already full frame, while the EOS 50D and EOS 60D are a lower level.
Canon 7D uses 18MP CMOS sensor. Now you will not surprise anyone with a large number of megapixels, especially after the release of the Nikon D800. For most amateur tasks, 18MP is a lot, but professionals will be able to squeeze out all their potential from 18MP. The camera can form images of 5184 by 3456 pixels (17.9MP). Canon 600D, 650D, 550D and 60D cameras have the same matrix. True, it is worth noting that the Canon 650D uses a slightly modified version of the matrix, which made it possible to double the maximum ISO value. You can t Canon 7D Photo & Video Cameras in Tanzania ake a look at my interesting article, which conducts an experiment on 'megapixels' - Battle of Megapixels.
Canon 7D attracts itself with a very high burst speed. The shooting speed reaches 8 fps - this is an excellent indicator for a cropped camera. No APS-C cropped camera from Canon can shoot at such a high speed, only Canon APS-H and APS cameras can do this. Interestingly, Nikon has as many as 6 APS-C cameras can accelerate to this speed, but Nikon has a lot of limitations and nuances to achieve such burst speed.
True, in order to process such a large amount of data when shooting at 8 fps, the Canon 7D camera uses two DIGIC 4 processors. The weak side of the Canon 7D is a small frame buffer, however, the new firmware slightly increases the number of frames during continuous shooting. The Canon 7D outperforms even some full-frame brothers in performance - for more details, see the performance section of all Canon CZKs.
Canon 7D is very well made, the camera body is made of magnesium alloy. The camera body is weatherproof. The Canon 7D sits very comfortably in the hand, it feels like a device of a serious level.
The optional monochrome display is simply indispensable for quickly adjusting key camera settings. The secondary display has a backlight function. I really appreciate advanced cameras with an additional display, top-level cameras even have 2 such displays. The camera has many controls that you can quickly get used to.
Canon 7D has a 3-inch display with 920k dots. You won’t surprise anyone with such a display now, it’s very convenient to view the footage, delve into the menu settings and shoot video.
Canon 7D can use ISO from 100 to 6400 and expand the value to 12.800. I can’t say that the camera has a low noise level at high ISOs, since there are cameras now that are an order of magnitude lower in noise, especially when you consider full-frame camera lines. The minimum shutter speed is 1\8000, which is an excellent indicator.
B8.
Canon 7D uses 14-bit color depth, the camera supports 14-bit RAW (CR2). Large color depth is very important in image processing. By the way, I updated the Nikon D1X review, with the new software it can use 16-bit color depth.
Of course, video is a very strong point of the Canon 7D. The camera can shoot Full HD 1920×1080 29.97 fps in MOV format, H.264 codec. Also, you can shoot 1280×720 and 640×480 at 60 or 50 frames per second. When shooting a video, all the main parameters are available, the camera has a special button to start / stop video recording
Focusing is based on a 19-point sensor, and all 19 points are cross-shaped. The focus menu has some interesting settings, during the review I did not figure out the full possibility of the methods of operation of the focus system. The Canon 7D does not have an auto focus assist lamp.
Exposure metering is based on a 63-segment sensor, the sensor takes into account the focus, color and brightness of objects in the camera's field of view. Many Canon EOS cameras use 63-segment metering. The exposure meter of any camera takes some getting used to, just like the automatic white balance.
The Canon 7D camera has a huge number of useful features:
