Canon Announces The Studio Version Of The 7D
By David Baxter, August 18, 2010 @ 11:23 AM (EST)
Canon has announced the launch of a “Studio Version” of the D. This SV unit will be ideal for professional, school and event photographers, as it allows 4 levels of ‘locking” of the camera controls. The new “locking” EOS7D (SV) allows users to disable unwanted features and settings resulting in both a reliable and repeatable process. Custom functionality management is also achieved by unlocking individual features according to the user’s needs.
Yuichi Ishizuka, executive Vice President and General Manager, Consumer Imaging Group, Canon U.S.A., recently stated in a press release “We know professional photographers are constantly searching for ways to simplify the workflow process. With the addition of the new EOS 7D Studio Version camera, professionals and business owners can be confident that data management will be streamlined and they can focus on the current task at hand.”
In addition to the EOS7D SV, Canon, has introduced the “Canon Barcode Solution”. This will link customer data to the image file so it can be maintained from photo taking to the final hand over to client. This will be especially useful for such applications as forensic, medical and school photographers as the new “Barcode Solution”, will embed a barcode directly into the images EXIF data, which can then be scanned, post shoot, giving the client other data that is required.
Canon’s Press release states “The EOS 7D Studio Version kit includes Canon’s WFT-E5A unit, which, along with an optional barcode reader, can scan and seamlessly manage image and customer data through a “wired connection”. A wireless system configuration is also possible through Canon’s BU-30 Bluetooth adapter further adding to the system’s convenience and functionality. Existing WFT-E5A units require a firmware update to work with Barcode functionality. This update will need to be done at a Canon Factory Service location if the customer wishes to use a previously purchased WFT-E5A unit, however, if the customer chooses this option, the ability to read and embed GPS (Global Positioning System) data will no longer function.”
The new EOS 7DSV (Studio Version) Barcode Kit (EOS 7DSV and WFT-E5A with firmware change) will carry an estimated selling price of $ $2599. The EOS 7DSV (Studio Version) Body Only will carry an estimated selling price of $1829. Both are available by special order through select Canon authorized dealers.
The following Barcode Scanners are compatible; Honeywell 3800, Honeywell 3820, for scanning via Bluetooth and Honeywell 4600, for scanning 1D and 2D barcodes.
