Designed to be fast, the EOS 7D Mark II delivers impressive resultsĬanon’s revolutionary Dual Pixel CMOS AF enables superb HD shooting with the EOS 7D Mark II. The EOS 7D Mark II features some of Canon’s most sophisticated AF technologies ever, enabling the camera to achieve accurate and speedy AF performance while maintaining impeccably clear action shots. Refined mechanics like a newly designed, more efficient shutter drive motor and a vibration dampened mirror drive help deliver reliable, speedy performance for high caliber image capture. Compatible with an ever-expanding collection of EF and EF-S lenses plus a host of EOS accessories, the EOS 7D Mark II is an ideal tool for creative and ambitious photography.Ī new, rugged shutter designed for 200,000 cycles, enables the EOS 7D Mark II to shoot up to 10.0 frames per second to capture all the action. It has dual card slots for both CF and SD cards, USB 3.0 connectivity and even has built-in GPS** for easy location tagging, automatically. It shoots up to 10 frames per second at ISOs ranging from 100–16000 (expandable to H1: 25600, H2: 51200), has a 65-point* all cross-type AF system and features Canon’s amazing Dual Pixel CMOS AF for brilliant Live-View AF. The EOS 7D Mark II features a refined APS-C sized 20.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor with Dual DIGIC 6 Image Processors for gorgeous imagery. ![]() With a winning combination of cutting-edge operations and a robust, ergonomic design, it is optimized to make even the most challenging photography simple and easy. It has some life in it yet, especially if you pick one up second hand.The Canon EOS 7D Mark II digital SLR camera is designed to meet the demands of photographers and videographers who want a camera that can provide a wide range of artistic opportunities. Mostly in wildlife photography and more particularly bird photography, it is autofocus, frame rate and lastly low light performance that are key.Īlthough the gap is narrowing, the 7D Mark ii still makes one of the most compelling cases as a wildlife and bird photography camera. It’s higher megapixel competitors resolve more. While signal to noise is impressive, no doubt because of that smaller 20mp sensor, the same is not true of resolution. When factoring in the APS-C sensor it is one of the best, especially for night sky panoramas and stitching. ![]() It is actually a surprisingly good astrophotography camera. With its lower resolution 20mp sensor, the signal-to-noise ratio is lower than the Nikon D7500, Canon 90D and Sony A6400. In fact, in tests the image still holds up respectably against more modern rivals. Its durability is also a big feature in its favour as is the good frame rate and reasonable image quality. Conclusionįor me, the 7D Mark ii is still ticking what I regard to be the most important boxes for wildlife and bird photography.Īutofocus performance is paramount, and here the 7D still shines. It is still a very presentable 650 shots from one charge, but that is half the amount of the 90D. This can improve the ergonomic appeal of these cameras for those of us with big hands or those who enjoy shooting verticals. Its popularity and abundance has made third-party battery grips and batteries readily available. The 7D Mark ii has an upgraded LP-E6n battery but because the camera has a lot of extras, for example, GPS, the battery life is not that good compared to other DSLR’s like the 90D. You can pick up a used 7D mark ii at a fraction of the cost and still get a beast of a camera with plenty of wildlife photography left in it. It is by far the better choice for video too.īut as I’ve said repeatedly, as a new camera it doesn’t stack up. Where the 90D wins is in image quality and it has a better image quality where there are dark backgrounds and low light. ![]() The 90D autofocus system is less nuanced and not as good. The newer but more ‘enthusiast’ or video based 90D is an excellent alternative option, but that camera doesn’t always stack up well against the 7D mark ii. ![]() The 7D Mark ii is still at the top of the APS-C crop sensor line-up. If, however, you already have an investment in Canon glass, then you have less choice. If you are looking only at new cameras, then there are probably better bodies to consider from other brands. Now and then I see specials at more reasonable prices, but it is not a good deal new. The camera is long past its sell-by date and by rights, it should be heavily discounted as a result. It is almost a crime that Canon is still trying to sell them at these prices. I cringe when I hear people talking about buying a new 7D Mark ii. Why you should NOT to Buy the Canon 7D Mark ii It is expensive when bought new.
