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.

NOTE: For connecting an interface cable to the USB 3.0 terminal, a cable protector is included with the EOS 7D Mark II, and must be used at all times to protect the camera's circuit board.

Almost all the people who invested in the 7D Mark II agree it's an absolute hit! Users stated the camera took incredibly clear images and were particularly impressed with the high ISO performance.
