What's going on here?
640 * 680 != 920,000
The 920k pixels is accurate, therefore it's more like 1100 x 830. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.44.26.236 ( talk) 13:49, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
FYI to all. I have made a commons category for this camera here. As soon as free image is available it should be categorized here. Thanks. Nebrot ( talk) 20:06, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
I'm a huge fan of Canon and one of the things I've always loved about Canon EOS is the way their cameras range was "indexed" (you'll have to excuse my English or edit this).
You see 1000D and you know it's the lowest level. You see 5D and you know you're somewhere near the top of the range. Unlike Nikon where D50 was followed by D40, D40x and D60, then the series split into... D3000 and D5000. It's all very confusing (unless you're a faithful fan).
But now all of a sudden Canon does the same stupid thing. 7D, which logically should be the successor of 5D, turned out to be the replacement of 50D. What the heck happened to 60D? Why change the tradition?
Canon has done a lot of strange things lately. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.124.60.158 ( talk • contribs)
Yes true but this section is not needed since it would apply to any MPEG-4 capable device. I suggest removal. -- ErnestVoice (User) (Talk) 14:44, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
To the average layman, this "video licensing" section is misleading. Here we're talking about content distribution in h.264, not generating works themselves. You can basically do whatever you want with video generated by the 5dmkII or 7d, your final product just has to be encoded in a different format if you want to sell it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.225.47.164 ( talk) 10:18, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
As there appears to be consensus here to remove this section, I'm going to delete it. 198.175.253.81 ( talk) 14:42, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
The Canon 7D, contrary to popular rumor, is not weather sealed. Nor is it waterproof or water resistant by any recognized standard, and Canon has never made any claim to the contrary. Canon has stated it to be "As weather resistant as the 1N" - an old film camera. This was mistaken for being as resistant as the 1D series, which is weather sealed. The canon-released diagram here: http://a.img-dpreview.com/previews/CanonEOS7D/Images/whatsnew_sealing.jpg makes this very clear. Red shows weather sealed seams, green shows seams with "tightened tolerances", whatever that means. Seams shown in black are neither sealed nor "tightened." Given this, I think we can get rid of "weather sealed" as a stated feature of the camera. Perhaps "Improved weather protection as compared to the 50D" would be an honest statement.

Canon does specifically state the 7d to be dust and weather resistant on their website, and is recognized to be among canon's best sealed bodies, second only to the 1d series. Thus, "dust and water resistant" should at the very least be listed as a feature.

I am surprised to see "Due to its weather sealed body, and dual Digic IV Processors, the Canon EOS 7D is prone to overheating after short periods of time during video capture, when the outside temperature is higher than 30 degrees Celsius.[citation needed]". I use it regularly in video mode in Thailand (almost always > 30 deg C) & have never even noticed it getting warm. I thought firmware v 1.2.1 fixed this. I suggest this is removed.

"Effective resolution", as used in the infobox, is not simply the result or "effect" of simply multiplying the official specs of pixels in the x and y dimension, as those official specs are, in fact, interpolated specs that result from the camera taking a very cruddy, tiny effective image taken by the sensor and then blowing it up and artificially sharpening it (introducing sharpening artifacts and the like), which is then given in the official specs as official resolution of that camera. See Pixel#Megapixel and Demosaicing, according to which the *EFFECTIVE* resolution of a camera like this is actually that of 1080p, or about 2 MP, which the camera then interpolates to 18 fake MP in post before actually saving the image. -- 2003:EF:13C6:FE11:61E2:258B:D37C:7B1F ( talk) 19:32, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
The maximum size for cards being used is 128GB. Type 1 (3mm) or type 2 (5mm) can be used. 2400:4053:82C1:4810:F40B:2CF6:4B17:8EED ( talk) 03:02, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
In what sense is the "EOS 7D Digital SLR Body" an accessory? Assuming that it is not in actual fact a spare body that Canon supplies with these cameras, irrespective of whether it is listed on Canon's website as an accessory, the statement in the article here should either be clarified or deleted.
