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...

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

I purchased the Canon 7d2 as an upgrade from the 7d. As a nature photographer I was particularly interested in the greater frame rate, better noise control and the larger buffer. In addition it allows the auto focus to function with my Canon 100-400 Mark 2 L when fitted with a 1.4 extender.

Easy to use; Compact; Build quality; Battery life; Screen size

Released in 2009, the original Canon EOS 7D has become a firm favourite APS-C Digital SLR, and impressively has lasted well for a 5 year old camera, a testament to how popular the camera is.

10fps continuous shooting - max 9.5fps with C-AF; Improved noise performance compared to 70D; Tough weather-sealed magnesium alloy body; Quick live view shutter response and focus speeds; Dual axis electronic level; 65 cross-type AF points; USB3.0 socket; 100% viewfinder coverage; GPS built-in,...

High Price; Does not feature Wi-Fi; Images can appear soft straight from the camera; Separate port covers would be good to help weather sealing; Tilting screen would be a benefit for video

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

A little pricy ; Doesn’t “push the envelope” tech-wise;

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.

Under the hood the 7D Mark II is an entirely different beast than the original 7D. It appears that instead of focusing on increased resolution, Canon focused on improving virtually every other system on the camera to make it easier for photographers to capture the the photos they want.

10 frames per second shooting; 65 point all cross-type autofocus sensor; EV -3 sensitivity for center AF point; Fast autofocus; iTR metering sensor with face detection and subject recognition and tracking; Dual-Pixel autofocus for live view and video; Control layout virtually identical to 5D Mark...

iTR struggles to accurately track moving subjects; especially fast ones; Comparatively poor base ISO dynamic range and exposure latitude in Raw; Spot-metering not linked to AF point; Soft video lacks detail; Long screen blackout during live view shooting; No AF with continuous shooting in live view,...

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!
