From the press release:

Canon introduces the EOS 7D digital camera, an all-new camera designed to meet professional requirements. In addition to Canon's new 18-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, the EOS 7D is equipped with the following features: dual DIGIC 4 processors for fast and high-quality shooting in various lighting conditions, an ISO sensitivity range that can be extended up to 12,800, and function of continuous shooting at a speed of 8 frames per second without the use of additional accessories. The model is distinguished by impressive technology and excellent build quality, opening up completely new photographic possibilities.

Image Accuracy — High-performance autofocus and metering systems
The camera is equipped with 19 crosshair AF points that allow photographers to capture precise shots and optimize composition. An advanced autofocus system provides a range of manual and automatic settings, including Zone AF and Spot AF modes, allowing you to track and capture subjects quickly and accurately. Autofocus settings are user-selectable, allowing for quick response to changes during shooting. You can set different AF points for vertical and horizontal positions, allowing you to automatically switch between landscape and portrait shots without pressing any buttons.

The EOS 7D also features a new metering system. The Focus Chroma and Luminance Metering System (iFCL) intelligently measures focus, chrominance, and luminance in 63 zones. In addition to the 19 AF points, the dual-layer sensor can collect data from each well-defined area for more accurate exposure.

The picture is exactly what you see
The Canon EOS 7D is equipped with an Intelligent Viewfinder that guarantees 100% coverage of your subject. With a 1x zoom1 – a first for an EOS camera – photographers see a large, bright image for a perfect shot. Transmissive LCD pixels built into the viewfinder allow you to choose between different overlay options (such as AF points, spot metering, and composition grid) and use a range of assistive tools to define image boundaries. For the first time ever, an EOS-based camera is equipped with a dual-axis electronic level (on the viewfinder and LCD screen) that indicates tilt and pan angles. This feature is especially useful when shooting landscapes to align the sky line, or when using tilt and shift lenses to align the camera.

The camera is equipped with a new 3-inch Clear View II LCD screen with a solid structure. No glare is achieved by eliminating the air gap between the protective cover of the LCD screen and the liquid crystal. The viewing angle of the new display is 160 degrees and does not decrease even in bright light conditions. The bright light sensor (same as in the EOS 5D Mark II) located on the side of the screen can automatically adjust the brightness according to the shooting conditions.

Creative experiments with lighting
The Canon EOS 7D is equipped with a built-in Speedlite transmitter. For the first time on an EOS-based camera, photographers can control an external flash without additional accessories. Perfect for those who like to experiment creatively with lighting settings. The EOS 7D also features an advanced manual built-in flash and a wider range, including a 15mm focal length.

Personalizing your photography with custom settings
The EOS 7D was conceived and designed with professional needs in mind. With its aesthetic characteristics and ergonomics, the camera guarantees maximum return. Photographers can personalize the shooting process. The user can independently configure the camera by assigning the most frequently used functions and settings to convenient buttons. This saves time when capturing critical moments through quick setup.
