Just purchased a new 7D Mark II and its just awesome. Its so fast for the sporting shots I do at the my son's soccer games. Just loving it!

The fixed LCD and lack of built-in wireless file transfer support may make some people cross it off their short list, but the Canon EOS 7D Mark II should please any Canon fan looking for speed.

Preserving its familiar and weather-sealed design; the 7D Mark II builds on the best of its predecessor: it's speedy with excellent photo and video quality; GPS; a flexible autofocus system and a big; bright viewfinder.

No tilting or articulated display makes shooting video without a rig annoying; and it lacks built-in Wi-Fi.

I was a big fan of the original Canon EOS 7D and eagerly awaited the 7D Mark II. And once it shipped, I was struck by how much the competition had changed in the interim, as well as the fact that I liked -- and disliked -- the same things about both models. So while the Mark II is a great camera with significantly improved performance and a few new features, including GPS, dual card slots and expanded video frame- and bitrates, important holes remain, like an articulated LCD and Wi-Fi.

I put this in the same class as the original 7d. AF is iffy. Actually the 7D was pretty good. &D II is about the same. De-noise is easier, frame rate is better. If you can pick one up used and in good shape it is ok. I would never buy a new one.

Canon has made another fine all-round enthusiast DSLR, but it's not mind-blowing on the tech front

Good all-round performance; Fast; accurate autofocus; Weatherproof and rugged

A little pricy; Doesn't "push the envelope" tech-wise

The Canon EOS 7D Mark II is an update to a classic. The original EOS 7D was released five years ago, and has long been considered royalty among APS-C sensor DSLRs. A refresh was long due, though.

Good image quality; Decent burst performance; Fast; reliable AF

Lacks 4K video recording; No Wi-Fi

Those of you who are into sports photography, action photography, and any other types of photography where a really fast camera is required, will do well to consider Canon's EOS 7D Mark II.

Fast shutter; Fast focus

Fixed screen position

Given its price tag, the 7D MkII is likely to appeal more to existing Canon users than first-time D-SLR buyers. In this case, its pro-level features offer a lot to those looking to trade up to a dedicated sports and wildlife camera for enthusiast level money.

It is clear Canon made a few sacrifices in order to get other features in the 7D Mark II. First, they still went with the APS-C crop sensor. It isn't horrible and saves a lot of money.

Very fast burst mode; focusing is fantastic (especially auto focus tracking); many options to custom tailor the camera to your needs; great high ISO

No Wifi; No vertical holding mode without the battery grip; fixed LCD can be a bummer at times
