Beauty in Darkness, Beauty in Light PHOTOJOURNALISM ©2009 Christopher Morris. All Rights Reserved. 18.0 Megapixel CMOS Sensor The EOS 7D features a powerful, Canon designed, 18.0 Megapixel CMOS sensor that captures a tremendous level of resolution with striking detail down to each individual pixel. With size to spare, it's easy to crop images or to make massive enlargements without concern of losing detail. A marvel of technical innovation, the EOS 7D's CMOS sensor incorporates a number of significant refinements: The EOS 7D's sensor has more pixels than any other APS-C sized sensor in the Canon lineup, with less digital noise, a higher ISO sensitivity, plus a wider dynamic range than before. The EOS 7D's CMOS sensor incorporates a unique on-chip noise reduction technology to deal with both fixed pattern and random noise. A new photodiode construction results in an improved photoelectric conversion rate, meaning faster and increased sensitivity at the pixel level. Finally, an infrared and a multi-layer low-pass filter are placed in front of the sensor to isolate and eliminate false colors, while retaining full detail. This low pass filter features a fluorine coating to reduce dust adhesion for less digital clean up. 107 Advanced Video Capture The EOS 7D's Movie mode combined with its compact size increases flexibility. Allowing for the full use of over 60 Canon EF and EF-S lenses, the photographer may take advantage of the EOS 7D's expansive range of ISO sensitivities and to exert full manual control over exposure and depth-of-field. Full HD video is captured at 1920 x 1080 resolution at 24 (23.976), 25, or 30 (29.97) fps, for up to 4GB per clip. Other recording sizes include HD at 1280 x 780 resolution at 50/60 (59.94) fps or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (50/60 fps). 111 Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors The EOS 7D's new Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors ensure that images are captured, processed and saved with remarkable speed - up to 8.0 frames per second! Developed and produced to maximize performance for both the capture and recording stages of digital photography, Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors work in concert with Canon CMOS sensor Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors chips to dramatically enhance image quality and deliver a more intuitive, responsive camera. Optimized signal processing algorithms work with the multi-channel signal from the camera's sensor to deliver significantly speedier camera response. Live Face Detection AF, HD Video, Canon's amazing Auto Lighting Optimizer, Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction and more are all pos- sible thanks to the speedy processing of the Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors. 107 T" he strongest point for me is the fact that I can have a very small, compact camera that takes the full com- pliment of lenses, with builtin flash. What sold me was the availability to switch quickly from color to B&W. You can very easily set up several custom settings, which is fantastic. One moment I'm shooting RAW stills, then I switch instantly to B&W to shoot HD video, and back to color for stills. It's very seamless and intuitive. This is a fantastic little jewel of a camera!"
