Canon EOS 7D Mark II Pro Reviews

The Canon EOS 7D Mark II offers high-speed continuous shooting at 10fps, as well as an advanced high speed focus system that will be of benefit to those that want to shoot quick moving subjects, particularly sports, or wildlife. The high level of weather sealing and built-in GPS makes the camera suitable for a variety of weather conditions, as well as travelling. Alternatives offer cameras with no AA filter, for improved resolution and detail, whereas the 7D Mark II uses an AA (anti-aliasing) filter, and images can be a little soft straight from the camera. At the high price, it seems odd that the camera doesn't include built-in Wi-Fi or a touchscreen, both found on the cheaper 70D. In addition, some other cheaper cameras offer quicker continuous shooting, as well as a higher resolution sensor. For those with an investment in Canon lenses, or for those that have a specific range of Canon lenses they would like to use, the Canon EOS 7D Mark II offers extremely fast focusing and continuous shooting. The camera has a professional quality weather sealed body, and should last a significant number of years, particularly if the previous 7D is anything to go by, as the 7D is still in use by a number of people today. The Canon EOS 7D Mark II has a number of features that will appeal to the Canon shooter, particularly if action and high-speed shooting is important, however it comes at a noticeably high price when compared to the competition.

The EOS 7 D Mark II may use an APS-C sensor, but it's a pro-level camera in every respect. Its 10 frames per second shooting and blazing fast autofocus set it apart from most of its peers, but it also includes features such as Intelligent Tracking and Recognition (iTR) for improved focus tracking, Dual-Pixel autofocus for smooth, natural looking focus when shooting video, and well designed ergonomics that match Canon's 5D Mark III. Its dynamic range and video quality fall behind some of its top-performing peers, but its performance is class-leading.
