The editors didn't like
Slightly soft initial video footage
No Movie Servo AF shooting 60p
Nonarticulating/Nontouch LCD screen
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
Fixed rear screen
1080p video only
Only 20.2MP resolution
No tilting or articulated display makes shooting video without a rig annoying
And it lacks built-in Wi-Fi
Costs $100 more than the original 7D
Zoom button moved to a less convenient location
60fps for video lacks 'AllI' compression and continuous autofocus
Still suffers from noticeable noise in high ISOs (though improved)
Has none of competing videospecif
No WiFi
Nothing done from Canon to be the disruptive camera company that they were many years ago
Pricey. Lacks built-in Wi-Fi. Fixed rear LCD. Servo AF unavailable when shooting at 1080p60
Operation of the AF system has a steep learning curve

If you shoot athletes or animals and are trying to keep it under $2000 for a new body, I would wholeheartedly recommend the 7D Mark II. Besides the increase in low light performance and an obsession with the full-frame "look," there arent many reasons to...
Abstract: Coupled with this new higher-resolution sensor is some serious processing horsepower. The original 7D featured dual DIGIC 4 image processors, which was a first for non-1D-series EOS cameras. However, since the camera's debut, Canon has advanced their imag...

Canon's EOS 7D Mark II is one of the toughest, fastest and most confident DSLRs for sports, action and event photography. If you always wanted the flagship 1Dx but couldn't afford it or accommodate the size and weight, the 7D Mark II will give you most of...
Abstract: Or maybe you're more into shooting video. The 7D MKII has you covered there as well. You can record Full HD 1080p video at 24 or 30fps, or 720p HD video at 60fps to create stunning slow motion projects. The 7D MKII has a built-in microphone, a headphone j...
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
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....

The image quality is excellent and high ISO pictures are remarkably noise free. At ISO6400 saving in RAW noise is barely perceptible – JPEG is equally impressive with no objectionable fudging of fine detail. The combination of the fast auto focus and outs
No WiFi, NFC, focus peaking or a swivelling LCD in an expensive camera is perplexing, making the 7D MkII feel oldfashioned
Who should buy this camera? Anyone with a kit of Canon cropped-factor lenses and accessories will love it, but for anyone entering the DSLR market unencumbered it may only be the brand name that will attract. The Nikon D7100 is half the price, and APS mir...
The EOS 7D Mark II's more weatherproof body and robust shutter mechanism are quantifiable benefits for sports and wildlife photographers. Add to that the Mark II's versatile AF modes, along with the 10 frames/second maximum frame-rate and Dual-Pixel autof...
In many ways, Canon's EOS 7D Mark II is a typical replacement model to the original: it's faster, has more processing power, and it brings forth tweaks to the body and feature-set that make it a better product overall. If speed is your major concern...
10fps continuous shooting, Excellent ergonomics, Lots of customisation options available
Fixed screen that's not touchsensitive, No WiFi connectivity builtin, SLR design means the viewfinder can't show the image as it will be captured
Although there are many photographers that are happy to use a camera with 16 million pixels on either an APS-C or full-frame format sensor, I suspect that there will be quite a few who criticise Canon for only making a modest increase on the 7D's pixel c...
