I have used this camera for everything from wild life, sports, astro, macro, portraits and even low light events. Shooting my nephews football evening games at 10,000 ISO scared me but the results were great. I was easily able to manage the noise even at 10k ISO.

This is a seriously good camera. It is ideal for sports and wildlife and the autofocus is awesome. Took pics of a dog running towards me and in 2 seconds the 20 plus pics were all in focus. Reassuringly heavy, new sensor, 10 frames per second, all make this a great camera.

Crop Sensor; Eos 5d Mk 3 Not Much More; No Articulating Screen; Price High

Just started using my new Canon EOS 7D MKII, an update to my 60D & 70D. I thought the 70D was fantastic but was blown away by the 7D MKII. Blisteringly fast Auto Focus and 10 frames per second, it's a machine gun after the 70D's "mere" 7 frames per second.

Excellent build quality; good battery life; fast and accurate focusing; even in video mode

No 4k video & light sensitivity is not up with the best of the competition

For the last 2 years I have been looking to upgrade my Canon 50d. I have tried the 5D Mark III; the 60d, and others, but I first tried the 7D Mark II after hearing how well it performed photographing birds and wildlife, one of my passions.

Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus; Fast Shutter Speed; Good Image Quality; Good Image Stabilization; High ISO Performance; Large Clear LCD; Quiet

The Canon 7D Mark II is a much needed and much welcomed upgrade to the venerable, 5-year-old EOS 7D. Catering primarily to sports, action and wildlife photographers, the 7D Mark II -- like the 7D -- borrows many features and performance specs from their 1D-series models, but at a more affordable...

Excellent image quality; High ISO performance improved over predecessor; Excellent burst speeds (up to 10fps); Significantly improved buffer depths; 65-pt AF system; Dual Pixel CMOS AF; Can focus down to f/8 (great for teleconverters); 1080/60p video; Headphone and mic jacks; Rugged build quality,...

Autofocus speed (AF shutter lag) slower than 7D and 70D; Mediocre battery life for a pro DSLR; Dynamic range at low to moderate ISOs not as good as competitors; Phase-detect AF did not perform as well as expected in our low-light AF tests; No built-in Wi-Fi; No autofocus for 1080/60p video, Full AF?...

The Canon EOS 7D Mark II ($1,799, body only) is the long-awaited successor to the company's flagship APS-C D-SLR, the 7D . The 20-megapixel camera may bear the same moniker, but the Mark II is completely revamped.

10fps continuous shooting; 65-point cross-type autofocus system; Great control layout; Huge JPG shooting buffer; Lots of detail at high ISO; Access to Canon lens system; 1/8,000-second shutter; CF and SD card slots; Integrated GPS; 1080p60 video

Pricey; Lacks built-in Wi-Fi; Fixed rear LCD; Servo AF unavailable when shooting at 1080p60

The Canon 7D Mark II offers good image quality, excellent performance and a solid design at a good price. It's a great option for budget-conscious photographers who are already invested in Canon's ecosystem of lenses and accessories.

This camera has many more cross-type focus points than anything else we reviewed

Low-light performance suffers as a result of this camera's small APS-C sensor

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,...

The Canon 7D Mark II is an incredibly powerful, exceptionally fast camera and the fastest remotely affordable DSLR on the market. However, its image quality is just below what you'd expect from this type of camera, and as a result, less-expensive cameras like the Canon 70D and recent high-end...

Fastest autofocus and image processing of any APS-C DSLR camera we've evaluated; Fastest capture rate from any DSLR under $4,000; Translucent LCD overlays helpful information on optical preview

Priced as high as some full-frame cameras; Video capability doesn't match that of lower-priced rivals; More noise in high-ISO/low-light conditions than from Canon's own, cheaper 70D
