Physical Features

The 7D features a Magnesium alloy body, plastic in the rear, and primarily external controls. The presence of the external controls for most functions encourage experimentation without having to traverse through menus. It also possesses a 2.5 inch TFT LCD.

The 7D's LCD also doubles as the control LCD. Rather than having a second, smaller LCD located elsewhere, it displays information such as exposure settings, aperture, shutter speed, battery life, and other miscellaneous recording information. The LCD, when acting as the control LCD, also rotates 90º based on the rotation of the camera to keep all of the information shown upright. LCD redirects here. ...

Anti-Shake Technology

The Konica Minolta Maxxum/Dynax 5D and 7D both come with Konica Minolta's Anti-Shake Technology. A major difference between Konica Minolta's Anti-Shake and Canon's Image stabilization is that the operation is done in the camera itself rather than inside the lens, thus making the effects usable regardless of the lens attached. In Canon's IS the lens has a floating element that is used to redirect the frame based on outside movement. In Konica Minolta's AS, however, the CCD is on a floating plane controlled by two actuators that work based on detected outside movement and create an inverse, thereby keeping the incoming image in line with the CCD as much as possible.
