Canon EOS 7D Mark II Review

I expected that the 7D II would be greeted with high demand (and it was), but that prediction was not hard to make. "Building on the class-leading performance of the iconic EOS 7D, and harnessing technologies found in the flagship, professional EOS-1D X ...

Canon EOS 7D Mark II review

Canon's EOS 7D Mark II becomes one of the toughest, fastest and most confident DSLRs for sports and action photography. If you always wanted the flagship 1Dx but couldn't afford it or accommodate the size and weight, the 7D Mark II will give you most of its handling performance in a smaller, lighter...
Pros:
  • Tough build and excellent ergonomics, Broad 65-point AF with lots of customization, Fast 10fps shooting
  • Delivers in practice, Intelligent tracking and recognition works well, Smooth and confident AF tracking for movies, Flicker detection, bulb timer, interval timer, Built-in GPS receiver
Cons:
  • Spot metering not linked to AF point, Movie Servo AF and ALL-i not available at 50 / 60p, No Wifi built-in
  • Requires accessory, No articulated or touch-screen, No 1080p above 60p or 4k option, No truly silent shutter
  • Or focus peaking

Canon EOS 7D Mark II Review

Great review! Thanks for sharing. Is it possible to "rack" the autofocus between to pre-determined points by pressing a button? Thanks! ~Adam I think that is a C100 feature. Thanks! I actually have a Sony RX10 II now and it's really an amazing camera.

  • 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,...
Cons:
  • 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

There are various ways to appraise the 7D Mark II, but none of them compels us to give it an unreserved recommendation. Compared to the original 7D, its autofocus sensor is significantly improved, it's a little faster in continuous mode and much faster in live view mode, it has GPS, interval...

DP Review

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.
Pros:
  • 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...
Cons:
  • 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,...
