Canon 7D out of the box

Random images from the Canon 7D out of the box.

Original settings as it came out of the box.

I just switched the images from default JPEG into RAW and colour space from sRGB into RGB.

The camera is on P mode (I rarely use this one …) and as mentioned, all settings are from factory default:

– Auto ISO

– Auto AF point selection

– Batch conversion from RAW to JPEG with CS4 without any additional ingredients (no sharpening, saturation or highlight and shadow correction added)

I used the Canon 35 f1,4 L for these first images and noticed that the camera will pick the slowest shutter speed of 1/50 at the widest aperture (f1,4) as to prevent camera shake. Auto ISO pushed the ISO up to 2000 for some images.

Note the very good level of details while shooting contre-jour.

Again, as in P mode, there is no sign of “blinky” in the histogram.

I personally like the lite noise of the shutter speed. The camera, with the new design, sits very comfortably in the hand.

Unlike my other Canons, I don’t feel the need for the vertical grip for this camera… as yet.

Very well balanced with the Canon 35 f1,4

  1. Hey Bailie,
    The 7D is just awesome and I find myself shooting more with the 7D than my 5D2s.
    I think it’s all about ergonomic and the new AF.
    I can shoot a whole wedding just with this body and 2 primes …
