Canon EOS 7D L Announced, Shipping in May

[bdeutsch]

I'm ambidextrous, so I want a dual-gripped reversible "7D A" (actually, I want a 5dmiiiA). That way when one hand gets tired, I can switch. It'll be worth the extra money, since with my new found endurance, I'll be twice as good a photographer and cinematographer.

Reversing 11 is still 11.

Nice april fool's day joke ! ;D ;D ;D

Does it come with a bracket accessory so that you can put a left and right together for binocular vision? Then you can film movies in 3D!

 

[ddashti]

First reaction: Why the "L"?
Second reaction: Why is it reversed??
Third reaction: "You got me."

 

[tnargs]

Now I feel sorry for the plight of left-handed photographers!

In addition to the 7D L, Canon is also releasing a Canon T5i!

...Oh wait, that wan't an april fools. Canon just thought it could put new creative filters in the T4i and call it an upgrade.

Canon should have saved the T5i announcement for today.

This almost makes me want to have one 3d-printed just to see how it feels. I'm sure Canon could ship something like this easily enough if they thought it was worth it. Anyway I laughed

Are Sandisc and Lexar releasing CF L versions to fit?

As a disabled person who can now only use his left hand
who was amazed at this wonderful left-handed incarnation of his current camera
who has told his friends and family what a marvellous thing this was

I can say that I am not remotely amused by this April Fool

It would have been REALLY useful to me

 

[tbadowski]

Almost believable, until I read "SHIPPING IN MAY"

 

[pedro]

You really got me! Now I ;D I thought: Are they crazy? Digic IV? 8) Congrats for this one.

 

[catfish252]

Maybe this really is going to be the upgrade to the 7D everyones waiting for.

I knew there would be one person who had the disability that would say this... I am sorry to hear. There is a way you can try (if you havnt tried already) use one of the cameras that has a flip screen, and use a batter grip. You can use the camera upside down. Better than nothing

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

+1

This was a good one. I think that would indeed, if it existed, would be the most awkward DSLR I'd ever used.

 

[bperrey]

!eno tnaw I

 

[mrsfotografie]

Good joke. Funny how asymmetrical this flipped camera looks, while the dimensions are the same (although reverse) of a 'normal' 7D.
