Canon EOS 7D 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera Body Only - International Version

hi i'm laurie grunin senior editor with cnet and this is the canon eo7d with entirely new autofocus and metering systems a new high-resolution 8-channel readout sensor coupled with dual digit 4 image processors and a new 100 coverage viewfinder plus 1080p video capture and canon's first implementation of in-camera wireless flash the 70 looks like an aggressive attempt to combat nikon in the 1700 or so class that's historically been owned by models like the d300 and the successor the d300s one of the heavier single grip digital slrs available there are no radical design departures in the 7d but there are tons of subtle and a few conspicuous interface changes that greatly enhance the fluidity of the camera's operation following trends in consumer digital slr design the 7d now also has an interactive control panel for changing frequently accessed settings though i generally prefer buttons
