In another installment of the 2010 Canon 7D Gift Guide, We are looking at five products from $100 to $500 in price. Any one of these products would be a great addition to the Canon 7D enthusiast.

Gifts from $100 – $500

Rode VideoMic Directional Video Condenser Microphone w/Mount ($149)
The RODE VideoMic is a professional grade shotgun microphone. Based on the latest ‘Film industry’ technology, the VideoMic is designed specifically for use with high quality Digital Video Cameras. It can be plugged directly into your Canon 7D or into an external audio recording device like the Zoom H4n or H1.
ePhoto INC 3000 Watt Digital Photo Photography Film Video Continuous Light Lighting Kit with Carrying Case – 3 light stands, 3 softboxes, 3 Light Heads(5bulb each), 15 photo bulbs ($226)
I recently purchased this light kit. I thought for the price, it was worth the try. So far, the performance has been great. It does not have adjustable light box orientation (you can build it portrait or horizontal), but for the price, it is a great deal. The light out put is great. If you are doing video podcasting or photography, this is a must have.
Zoom H4n ($299)I have the Zoom H4n and I love it. For video, it is the most important tool right behind your Canon 7D. The audio quality from the H4n is on par with the video quality with the Canon 7D. With the ability to record 4 channels at once, provide phantom power to microphones and its excellent on-board microphones, the Zoom H4n is a must-have for serious Canon 7D videographers.
Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Medium Telephoto Lens ($365)
This is a great portrait lens as well as a fantastic lens for low-light video. For the money, it is hard to beat.
Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Wide Angle Lens ($455)
This is another affordable great prime lens from Canon. With an f-stop of only 1.8, this is a great lens for low-light video. Not to mention, this is a great lens for photography too!
