The press release for the Canon EOS 7D has leaked. Unfortunately, it’s only available as a translation from Chinese, so it’s riddled with all sorts of gibberish. Not that that’s ever stopped us before!
Another bit of unfortunate news, the press release is nearly 8,000 words long. That’s as long, if not longer, than a New Yorker article. As such, I won’t even paste it here. Canon Rumors has the whole thing should you be crazy person.
I will, however, pick out what I perceive to be the highlights:
• 18-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor
• 3-inch LCD (920,000 dot resolution)
• ISO from 100 to 6400, but there’s also an ISO 12800 setting for when you’re taking photos in a black hole
• HD movie mode
• Available September, 2009; no price listed
And more! But again, this press release is machine translated from Chinese, so make of this what you will.
