Canon announced its new EOS 7D Studio Version (7DSV) DSLR camera, ideal for professional school and event photographers which features four levels of “locking” camera controls for studio environments.

Based on original EOS 7D, this Studio Version has four different “lock” levels allowing administrators to enable the appropriate level of camera functionality for any studio operation. Alongside the new camera, Canon also introduce the Canon Barcode Solution for the new EOS 7D Studio Version which links customer data directly with the image file so that it can be maintained throughout the entire workflow process, ideal for school photographers, forensic and medical photo workflows.

The EOS 7D Studio Version Barcode 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. The kit is priced at $2599. The price is $1829 if you get the EOS 7DSV body only.[canon]
