MELVILLE, N.Y., Feb. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Developed and
designed to meet the varying needs of entry-level and advanced
amateur photographers, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging
solutions, today announced two new additions to the celebrated EOS
system – the EOS Rebel T7i DSLR camera, which adds to the popular
Rebel series of entry-level DSLR cameras, and the EOS 77D DLSR
camera, which represents a new category of cameras for advanced
amateur photographers. Canon also introduced today the new EF-S
18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens and Wireless Remote Control BR-E1, as
well as added functionality for the Canon Connect Station
CS100.
"In what marks the 30th year since the introduction
of the Canon EOS System, the announcement today of these two new
DSLR cameras exhibits Canon's commitment to providing our customers
with the tools they need to grow their passion for capturing the
best possible pictures of the moments in time that mean the most to
them, or inspire them to one day shoot professionally," said
Yuichi Ishizuka, president and COO,
Canon U.S.A.
Focused on Innovation
The EOS Rebel T7i and EOS 77D
both feature an optical viewfinder with a 45-point All Cross-type
AF system* to help enable more precise focusing. In live view mode,
both cameras utilize Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF to deliver the
world's fastest AF focusing speed of 0.03 seconds.
1 This technical achievement allows users to find
their subject, focus accurately, and capture the shot more quickly
than ever before. Both models also have built-in
Wi-Fi®2, NFC3 and
Bluetooth®4 technology for easy transfer of
images.
In addition to the focusing enhancements, common features of the
EOS Rebel T7i and EOS 77D cameras include:
- Optical Viewfinder with a 45-point All Cross-type AF
System*
- Fast and accurate Dual Pixel CMOS AF with Phase-detection
- 24.2 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) Sensor
- DIGIC 7 Image Processor, ISO 100–25600
- Built-in Wi-Fi®2,
NFC3 and Bluetooth®4
technology
- Vari-angle Touch Screen, 3.0-inch LCD
- Movie Electronic IS
- HDR Movie & Time-Lapse Movie
- High-speed Continuous Shooting at up to 6.0 frames per second
(fps)
Canon EOS Rebel T7i Camera
The EOS Rebel T7i is the
first camera in the EOS Rebel series with a 45-point, all
cross-type AF system* within the Optical Viewfinder. It
is also the first in the series with Dual Pixel CMOS AF with
Phase-detection and the first with a DIGIC 7 Image Processor.
Creative filters for both still images and video will allow users
to customize the look and feel of their content in new and
imaginative ways.
When designing the new EOS Rebel T7i, Canon took into
consideration feedback from entry-level photographers who expressed
interest in learning to go beyond the program mode of a DSLR
camera. Users will now be able to see on-screen how switching modes
on the mode dial or tweaking settings can alter the image they are
about to capture, guiding photographers on their way to capturing
more compelling images, such as ones with a shallower
depth-of-field or being able to give moving-subjects a frozen or
flowing look.
The Canon EOS Rebel T7i is scheduled to be available in
April 2017 for an estimated retail
price $749.99** for the
body only, $899.99** with
the new EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens and $1,299.00** with the EF-S 18-135mm
f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens respectively. For more information please

Canon EOS 77D Camera
For advanced amateur
photographers looking to expand their knowledge and experience with
DSLR cameras, Canon's new EOS 77D is the ideal next step camera for
them. The EOS 77D represents a new category of advanced amateur EOS
cameras, a step above the Rebel series. Users of the EOS 77D DSLR
camera will benefit from features like the 7650-pixel RGB+IR
Metering Sensor, similar to the one found in the EOS 80D camera and
Anti-Flicker shooting mode to help combat the on-and-off repetitive
flickering from artificial lights found in high-school gyms or
auditoriums. The EOS 77D also features a top LCD panel and quick
control dial for photographers who desire quicker and easier access
to changing and controlling settings on the camera.
The Canon EOS 77D is scheduled to be available in April 2017 for an estimated retail price
$899.99** for the body
only, $1,049.00** with the
new EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens and $1,499.00** with the EF-S 18-135mm
f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens respectively. For more information please

EF-S Lens and Remote Accessory Utilizing
Bluetooth® Technology
The new Canon EF-S 18-55mm
f/4-5.6 IS STM lens is nearly 20 percent smaller than the EF-S
18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens, without sacrificing image quality.
Features of the lens include:
- Compact-size, Standard Zoom Lens with High Image Quality
- Lead Screw-type STM
- Image Stabilization at up to 45 Stops of Shake
Correction

In addition, Canon is introducing its first-ever remote utilizing
Bluetooth® technology3, the Wireless Remote
Control BR-E1. This new remote allows photographers to capture
images from within a 16-foot radius of the camera. This camera
accessory is useful for photographers who are looking to capture
images remotely in situations where there could be issues with
signal reception or line-of-sight to the camera. The Canon Wireless
Remote Control BR-E1 will be compatible with both the EOS Rebel T7i
and EOS 77D cameras. The Canon BR-E1 is schedule to be available in
April 2017 for an estimated retail
price of $50.00**.

77D cameras are compatible with the Canon Connect Station CS100
device, a go-to-photo and video hub that allows family and friends
a way to quickly and easily store, manage view and share
