The Canon EOS 7D digital SLR offers performance with unprecedented versatility. Made to be the tool of choice for serious photographers and semi-professionals, the EOS 7D features an 18.0 Megapixel sensor and Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors allowing it to capture stunning images at up to ISO 12,800 and at speeds of up to 8 frames per second!

The Lensbaby Composer is selective focus SLR lens that works on Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, and Pentax cameras. Based on a unique and innovative ball and socket configuration, the Composer delivers smooth selective focus photography with unparalleled ease. Photographers simply tilt the lens to a desired angle and then focus with a focusing ring. The result is an area of sharp focus (the “Sweet Spot”) which can be moved around the frame. The Lensbaby is perfect for taking creative photographs of your pets!
