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.

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 autofocus and speed of the 10fps makes this the perfect tool for what I do, which is adventure sports photography. It is built like a tank, too, so it can put up with some ruggedness. I've shot outside in the rain and snow and its done great.

Easy To Use; Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus; Fast Shutter Speed; Good Image Quality; Good Image Stabilization

Short Battery Life; Small LCD Screen

It has taken some time for Canon to update its EOS 7D. The new Mark II version of the digital SLR workhorse will be a welcome update for professional photographers who have used it for sports, action and nature shots since 2009.

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

The Canon EOS 7D Mark II is a new APS-C sensor DSLR camera that's built for speed. Completely rebuilt and redesigned, the EOS 7D Mark II features 10fps burst shooting, a new 65-point cross-type AF system, Dual DIGIC 6 processors, new 20.2 MP APS-C CMOS sensor with a native ISO 100-16,000 range...

I purchased this camera for wildlife photography, paired with a 400mm F5.6L and 500mm F4L IS USM lens. I'm really impressed with the FPS, low noise compared to the mark 1 body, and amazing autofocus capabilities.

Frames per second; Less Noise; Amazing autofocus; great AF tracking features; incredible viewfinder

Noise performance at higher ISO's still isn't as good as I would like; but it is an improvement to the 7D mark I

This camera is the master of all crop sensors and one cannot imagine better than this. Auto focus is fast at most of lighting conditions. Build quality is rugged. There are several options for video, specially 60fps at 1080 resolution. There is a healthy competition from Nikon with model d7200

You need to fine tune each lens (microadjustment), before you can get the sharp image.
