Although I've largely moved from Canon on Landscape and Architecture to the Sony A7R, the 7DII remains my favorite for Birds, Wildlife and Action. This is absolutely awesome when paired with the 100-400 Mk II or the 70-200L 2.8 IS.

Fast Focusing; Great Usability and Handling; the Camera for Birders; Wildlife and Sports - especially good with the new 100-400 Mk II

I would like a little better Dynamic Range; especially pulling up detail from dark feathers

The 7D MKII is a great camera, having owned the orginal 7D, the improvements really stand out and are very much appreciated. The new body feels very comfortable, button layout is slightly changed but easy to learn.

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.

I was a big fan of the original Canon EOS 7D and eagerly awaited the 7D Mark II. And once it shipped, I was struck by how much the competition had changed in the interim, as well as the fact that I liked -- and disliked -- the same things about both models. So while the Mark II is a great camera with significantly improved performance and a few new features, including GPS, dual card slots and expanded video frame- and bitrates, important holes remain, like an articulated LCD and Wi-Fi.

The fixed LCD and lack of built-in wireless file transfer support may make some people cross it off their short list, but the Canon EOS 7D Mark II should please any Canon fan looking for speed.

Preserving its familiar and weather-sealed design; the 7D Mark II builds on the best of its predecessor: it's speedy with excellent photo and video quality; GPS; a flexible autofocus system and a big; bright viewfinder.

No tilting or articulated display makes shooting video without a rig annoying; and it lacks built-in Wi-Fi.

Just purchased a new 7D Mark II and its just awesome. Its so fast for the sporting shots I do at the my son's soccer games. Just loving it!

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

"Bought this last week and love it the AF Tracking feature is unbelievable when shoot birds in flight the joy is great for moving your AF point around quick on the fly and the lever for changing type of focus point you wish to use in an instance love and is unbelievably fast I love it.

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.
