Canon EOS 7D

Come anticipato, Canon ha annunciato oggi la nuova reflex digitale EOS 7D.

La nuova arrivata vanta un nuovo sensore CMOS da 18 megapixel, doppio processore DIGIC IV, ISO espandibili fino a 12.800, raffica da 8 fps, registrazione video full HD. Inoltre incorpora un nuovo mirino 1,0x con copertura del 100%, display LCD da 3 pollici e 920000 pixel di risoluzione.
La nuova reflex EOS 7D, dispone di 19 punti con un nuovo sensore AF che consente ai fotografi di realizzare scatti precisi. Il nuovo sistema AF offre una vasta gamma di impostazioni manuali ed automatiche. Interessantissima la scelta di equipaggiare questa macchina con un ulteriore sistema AF di nuova generazione: Il Focus Colore. Il Focus Colore è un sistema di misurazione della luminanza (iFCL) che permette la messsa a fuoco attraverso 63 zone. Un sistema complementare che rende decisamente precisa la messa a fuoco.
Canon EOS 7D dispone di un nuovo mirino che copre al 100% il fotogramma. Con ingrandimento 1,0x, la reflex permette di osservare completamente l’inquadratura. E’ presente inoltre, per la prima volta, il sistema Dual-Axis Electronic Level che ci indica l’angolazione, funzione particolarmente utile quando si vuole riprendere un paesaggio basandosi sull’orizzonte, oppure se usato con ottiche basculanti. Il display da 3 pollici Clear View II è stato progettato per essere nitido anche in condizioni di forte luminosità, l’angolo visuale è di 160° .
E’ la prima volta anche per un trasmettitore Speedlite integrato. L’utente potrà controllare i flash Speedlite senza accessori aggiuntivi. La registrazione video è oramai di serie sulla maggior parte delle reflex, sulla 7D viene offerto pieno controllo manuale delle aperture, esposizione, frame rate selezionabili e formato full HD. Il doppio processore DIGIC IV permette una raffica di 8 fps ed il supporto di schede UDMA. Il prezzo di vendita per il mercato americano sarà di 1700$ solo corpo.

Canon EOS 7D è un prodotto davvero innovativo, aspettiamo di vedere le prove ed i confronti.
