About this model
The Canon EOS 7D is a tough, fast APS-C DSLR built for enthusiasts and semi-pros. Its 18-megapixel sensor delivers detailed images, while the 19-point autofocus system and 8 frames-per-second continuous shooting make it well suited to action, wildlife and sports. The weather-sealed magnesium alloy body stands up to heavy use, and the bright optical viewfinder with 100% coverage helps with precise framing. Full HD 1080p video is on board, with manual control and an external microphone socket. The 3-inch LCD and dual DIGIC 4 processors keep the camera responsive. This listing is for the body only; lenses are sold separately.
