OFFICIAL/NO LEAK: Canon 7D Official US Press Release

Couple of questions:

7d allows live monitoring while recording via HDMI? If so, what resolution(s)?

If I've got $2K for one camera that needs to last at least a year, do I get this or the GH-1? Or should I hold off for a couple of days and wait for more hands-on stuff from people like Kholi?
 
So how wide would my canon 15mm be on this considering the crop? Something like 20mm? A wild guess.
 
I just looked at the movies again, both from the 7D and the 5DII. Sorry but 5d annihilates the 7D in sharpness and detail.

I don't understand the crop thing at all.

Just geometry, basically the sensor is smaller and uses less of the lenses output compared to full frame sensors. In the case of APS-C the size is 63% of full frame 35mm still so you multiply by 1.6 to get the equivelant focal lenght. There's arguments about what that really means and if it actually works that way but that's the overwhelming consensus

The cool thing with the 7D is that you can use the EF-S lenses like the 10-22, which will at least get you 16mm FOV on the wide end. Not too bad.

If you shoot both stills and video, there's no question that 5D is better, but for video only, 7D is the winner.
 
Raw image quality goes to the 5D no doubt, but we have yet to see this in the hands of cinematographers we know and love... eachother, yay! After all this clips are mostly from still photographers and web masters :)
 
7's the key number here. Think about it ... 7-Elevens ... 7 dwarves. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby!
 
The 7D thread that Jannard started at Reduser.net just got deleted...hmmmmmm?
I think it was the right thing to do personaly, it was stupid to knock a camera that is 0.10 the cost of your only product. Creates a really sketchy vibe.
 
Love the auto level indicator - handy for setting up level horizons.
