The 18-megapixel Canon 7D is an unusual camera, squeezing nearly the resolution we'd expect in a full-frame camera onto the smaller APS-C sensor format. The company pumped up the processing power, with dual DIGIC 4 processors, enabling a very high burst rate (nearly 8 shots per second) and full HD movie recording at 30 frames per second.
The 7D features a magnesium alloy body with extensive dust and weather seals.
While the camera doesn't come in official kit form, it's widely offered bundled with a Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens ($479.99), which we borrowed for review purposes. Read the very good review here. You can buy the camera here.
