From the Canon Canada Press Release:
EOS 7D with WFT-E5A
The EOS 7D Features Fast Eight fps Continuous Shooting, Class-Leading 18-Megapixel Resolution and Full HD Video Recording with Variable Frame Rates and Manual Exposure Control
MISSISSAUGA, ON., September 1, 2009 – Canon Canada Inc., a leader in digital imaging, today introduced a revolutionary camera that redefines the highly competitive mid-range DSLR product category: the Canon EOS 7D Digital SLR camera. Professional photographers and advanced amateurs have been demanding higher performance and more diverse functions in their cameras, and Canon has answered – with the new EOS 7D. Far more than a slight improvement from a previous model, the EOS 7D DSLR is a brand new product that stands on its own with new features never before seen in any Canon camera. Whether it’s shooting at eight frames per second (fps), focusing with the new Zone AF mode or recording 24p Full HD video, the EOS 7D DSLR camera satisfies the most rigorous professional requirements with durability, flexibility, high-resolution images and customizable controls. With its unprecedented out-of-the-box performance and high-end feature set, the EOS 7D is poised as the ultimate step-up camera for serious photographers or a second camera for professionals in the field.

A new era is about to begin here at Voyages. With family support, I have decided that it is time to dedicate a greater segment of my life to pursue and capture light. Keeping in mind that the business of photography involves a lot more than taking pictures, I hope to spend a few days each week dedicated to creating actual photographs, with a good portion of the remainder of my time learning, scanning, labeling, uploading, editing, printing, mounting, framing, writing, organizing, reorganizing and otherwise fiddling with things photographic. So I am turning my back on frustrating part-time evening work; I am parking my landscape-gardening trailer and I am picking up my Nikon.
Born in Canada, but of Dutch descent, my early life was influenced by travels with a constantly moving family. We moved through Canada and South Africa until I reached the age of 17, when we settled down in Edmonton, Alberta. Over the years I have developed a multitude of interests which I now share by means of photography and blogging.
