Canon Middle East has launched in Qatar its new DSLR camera, the EOS 7D Mark II, which builds on the class-leading performance of the iconic EOS 7D, and harnesses technologies found in the flagship, professional EOS-1D X.
Completely rebuilt and redesigned, the EOS 7D Mark II can capture an incredible 10 frames per second (fps) without a drop in resolution, and features a new 65-point cross-type AF system and Dual DIGIC 6 processors.
The camera boasts a new 20.2 MP APS-C CMOS sensor with a native ISO 100-16,000 range, expandable to ISO 51,200. Together with an advanced high-resolution 150k pixel RGB+IR metering sensor and innovative flicker detection, the EOS 7D Mark II ensures beautifully exposed images.
The EOS 7D Mark II’s high speed of 10fps is due in part to a newly designed shutter and mirror drive mechanism, with 200,000-cycle shutter durability.
A new cutting-edge flicker detection feature ensures images are only shot when light levels are at their brightest level - intelligently analysing the light source and detecting flickering light the eye simply can’t see.
The EOS 7D Mark II builds on its predecessor’s movie reputation with a new suite of pro-standard recording features. Superior AF performance is executed by Canon’s unique Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology, enabling shooting with smooth, accurate focus.
In a first for EOS, both Movie Servo AF speed and tracking sensitivity can be customised, giving complete control for pull-focus effects and transitions between subjects. The camera captures every split second of the action in Full HD quality, with a choice of frame rates from 24p to 60p for smooth movement and slow motion effects.
The EOS 7D Mark II has improved weather resistance and a tough magnesium alloy chassis - as well as built-in GPS and a digital compass. As part of the world renowned EOS System, the EOS 7D Mark II supports a number of accessories, including a new battery grip that enables longer, more stable shooting throughout the day.
