Canon 7D
No, it isn’t a whole new line, it seems that Canon wanted to stop the confusion between the Nikon D60 and the Canon 60D, so they have renamed 60D to 7D — at least that’s what I’ve read.
It looks very good so far, I sure hope that the 1D Mark IV does not disappoint either as this is just about what I need — without the 45 point AF, and weather seal but than it also costs a lot less than the 1D line.
The highlights:
- 2 DIGIC IV Chips (AF and Image) (the same as the 1D line)
- 8+ fps (the same as the 1D Mark II+)
- 18MP (better than the 1Ds Mark II)
- 19 point AF system (standard for the XXD line)
- $1699.00 List Price.
What I would like to know is, did Canon come out with yet another battery for it? The fiasco with the 5D Mark II’s battery not being available was just ridiculous.
Here are various reviews and even some places that you can buy
You can also pre-order the body (some places with a premium):
- Amazon.com – (linked as disappeared for now, I’m sure it will be back soon)
- Berger-Brothers – $1699.00 (pre-order), $1899 (pre-order with 28-135 lens)
Good Luck.
