Canon Eos 7D - MSRP: $1899 w/ starter kit or $1699 body only
I won't call myself a techie in anyway but being an individual that uses electronic gadgets on a daily basis I must admit there's a soft spot in my heart for them. More so I'm a Film student which means my educational investment and future career prosperity is pretty much dependent on my knowledge in and ability to operate all these cutting edge technology. So with that in mind, lets talk about the Canon 7D dslr camera!
If you are in anyway a fan of photography, the buzz about this camera has probably been booming in your ears for months now. Canon newest addition to the eos family has kept a constant flow of drool down the side of my mouth since I caught air of the news about 3 months ago.
What makes this so special is the fact it not only functions as a camera, it can record in full 1080p resolution at different frame rates including 24p. Not gonna get into the heavy specifics and description here but to break it down, this means that, providing you a have a quality canon lens, can shoot DIGITAL video that will appear similar to FILM footage. The beauty though is that the canon lens provides a short depth of field that gives it the look of PROFESSIONAL cameras (like those Arriflex that can cost you an arm, leg and ballsack!). This is a great breakthrough for indie filmmakers!
Extremely small, flexible and easy to mod with a multitude of accessories complements of both Canon and many other third party providers (everyone from Audio-Technica to Zacuto) this little underdog is soon to be crowned the King of cheap, no-budget indie films in no time! i personally cannot wait to buy mines, hopefully within the month or maybe next, all i know is when I'm done it will look something like this:
BEASTMODE!
