Chronology
SuccessorCanon EOS 7D Mark II

The Canon EOS 7D is a high-end APS-C digital single-lens reflex camera made by Canon.[2] It was announced on 1 September 2009 with a suggested retail price of US$1,699, and was marketed as a semi-professional DSLR camera.[1][3]

Among its features are an 18.0 effective megapixel CMOS sensor, Full HD video recording, its 8.0 frames per second continuous shooting, new viewfinder which offers 1.0X magnification and 100% coverage, 19-point auto-focus system, movie mode, and built-in Speedlite transmitter.[2]

The EOS 7D remained in Canon's single-digit APS-C model lineup without replacement for slightly more than five years—the longest product cycle for any EOS digital camera.[4] Its successor was the Canon EOS 7D Mark II, announced on 15 September 2014.
