EOS 7D Accessories

There are many accessories for the Canon EOS 7D. The EF-S series of lenses are especially made to work well with this camera. An extra battery or two will come in handy if you plan on long excursions or shooting lots of video. If you're going to shoot a lot of video, you'll probably want extra memory cards as well.

Memory cards.
8GB Compact Flash memory cards are probably the best deal right now. I have been using Sandisk Ultra II SD cards for years without a single problem. I recommend the SanDisk 8GB Extreme III CF Card or Extreme IV because they are much faster than the Ultra II's. If you're going to shoot movies, you'll want as much memory as you can get. Consider larger 16GB CompactFlash memory cards.

The new WFT-E5A Wireless File Transmitter fits to the bottom of the camera and gives the look of a pro camera body as well providing the wireless capability.

The new Canon BG-E7 Battery Grip attaches to the bottom of the camera to provide extra battery power and gives the look of a pro camera body.

Another good idea is to have at least one extra battery - this camera uses the Canon LP-E6 Battery Pack Or you may want to try out this inexpensive, non-Canon High Capacity LP-E6 Replacement Lithium-Ion Battery With Charger that is a lot less expensive than Canon's and reportedly lasts longer. The disadvantages to this setup is that there is no microchip in the battery, so you won't be able to tell how much charge remains, and you have to use their (included) charger (be sure NOT to use their charger on your original Canon batteries!)
