Canon EOS 7D L Announced, Shipping in May

[richpjr]

Hey, I'm left handed - sign me up for one!

 

[RGF]

Has any company ever made a lefty camera?

 

[ski2slow]

and all L-Lensens now have to be re-releases as R-Lenses...

;D ;D ;D

Jimi Hendrix will love this camera!

Rumor is they're planning a special Hendrix limited edition -- signed by Jimi himself.

It will be purple and focus will be a bit hazy.

 

[kuffer]

I heard it can photograph the future.

 

[dstppy]

Really? We're all 12 years old now? *sigh*

Okay, just because it's a joke, doesn't mean we can slack off people:
I'm switching to Nikon.

Talk is cheap, DO IT :-X

Okay, good, we have that now.

Ah, finally we know what the 7D Mark II will be like

And this, okay, thread's got everything a camera rumor thread needs . . . moving along.

Gotta say I'm stunning... so... devils advocate, in a few months if they come out with a 7d2... will there be a 7d2L as well?

 

[jcollett]

I'm only getting one if the lens zooms backwards too...

When they do, they call them "Nikon"

 

[willis]

Awesome! 8)

Although a tad awkard it's possible to use a battery-gripped body lefthanded , flip it so both shutters point up It's a bit tight between the thumb and forehead, but hey ;D

I'm left handed, but I have so many years of holding a camera in my right, I probably would feel awkward with it. However, I did hold my TLR in my left hand, so maybe I'd try it.

Fantastic, I'm not a left-hander, but this is perfect for all Stereo Photographers. (They didn't say that, but that was the main target. )

The camera has options to sync the lens and other functions for that.

The handles are perfect for this - when mounted in pairs - to take movies with it, no extra gear needed, just the "Canon "Bridge 04/01" to get both mounted.

It's only to sad that this is only today available and the next order can go placed in exactly one year. ;o)

How'd you do that?

 

[Stig]

maaan, for a second I thought they are introducing a new naming scheme again... 1Dx, 7Dl, 100Dbs...

The lefties must be a growing and profitable market. Good for Canon to jump ahead on the curve for this. Truly a leader.

Finally I get to shoot akimbo like the cool guys always do in hollywood movies. The high shutter speed will be handy for those times when you need to jump of an exploding building to get the best candid pics of people from above.

So, do the photos come out reversed, left to right?
