On September 1 2009, Canon announced the EOS 7D to add to its prosumer lineup of DSLRs. The Canon 7D comes with 18 Megapixel APS-C (1.6x crop) CMOS sensor, which is 3 Megapixels more than the 50D. There is a new autofocus system consisting of 19 cross-type points which will likely be welcomed by most shooters. It also features two DIGIC-4 processors, 100% viewfinder with 1.0x magnification, improved Movie function, a new 3 inches LCD monitor, and a wide range of ISO speed settings from 100-6400 (expandable to 12,800).

The 7D will record Full HD at 1920 x 1080 pixels in selectable frame rates of 24p (23.976), 25p, or 30p (29.97); 720p HD recording at 50p or 60p (59.94) and SD video at frame rates of 50p or 60p (59.94). The 7D is priced at $1699 for body only and in a kit with Canon's EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM at an initial retail price of $1899.
