Canon has announced a new version of the Canon EOS 7D called the 7DSV which means Studio Version.

New features within the camera include an optional barcode solution as well as a locking feature that gives admin control over the camera.

The Locking feature on the EOS 7D allows an administrator to lock/disable various functions and settings on a camera which essentially only gives the user the options they need to complete a job. Four different lock levels are allowed that disable various aspects of the camera.

This complete level of control is guarded by a daily password preventing anyone with a different vision from changing the camera settings and disrupting the overall project and workflow.
