Message: <blockquote data-quote="macshark" data-source="post: 1569917" data-attributes="member: 38208">EOS 7D poster decoded using collective intelligence of the web:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">18 Mega Pixel (1800 x 10,000)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Dual Digic 4</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">8fps</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">All Cross-type 19 point AF</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">ISO 6400</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">63 zone metering </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">100% coverage of Optical Viewfinder</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Artificial Intelligence something (too blur)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Electronic Horizon Control (level built into display?)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">3" LCD   </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Full HD Movie</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Live view (what is new here?)</li> </ul>Now only one question remains: Is it 1.6x crop or 1.3x crop? The lens in the poster appears to be the upcoming EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6, but 18MP may be excessive pixel density for a 1.6x crop sensor. 7D could be a 1.3x crop 18MP camera that is engineered to also accept EF-S lenses. In this case, resolution would be 18MP when you use an EF lens, but it would be cropped to 12MP if you use an EF-S lens. The official announcement is expected on Sept 1st.</blockquote>
