Hands on with the Canon EOS 7D
By Alexandra Savvides on 21 October 2009
Sydney's Cockatoo Island provided the scenic backdrop for our hands on with the Canon EOS 7D, with some Photo5 action thrown in the mix.
Cockatoo Island is located in Sydney Harbour, a heritage listed island full of abandoned warehouses, industrial sights and sounds, and, of course, birds.
We had our first play with the 7D and our initial impressions were favourable — the 18-megapixel digital SLR features full HD video recording and up to 8 frames per second continuous shooting speed. Click through for images taken with the camera and some responses to the Photo5 competition.
This is the 7D with the EF-S 18-135mm lens sold as the Super Kit for AU$3499. The body is fairly chunky so the weight of the lens balances it nicely.
