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

Good all-round performance, Fast, accurate autofocus, Weatherproof and rugged
A little pricy, Doesn't “push the envelope” tech-wise
Canon 7D Mark II verdict Open Gallery The Canon 7D Mark II is certainly an improvement upon the original 7D, which was already an excellent DSLR. With fast autofocus, continuous shooting, good low light performance, sturdy build quality and thoug...
Fast 10 fps continuous shooting with large buffer, Ultra-fast autofocusing system with 65 cross-type AF points, Crop-frame camera giving more reach with telephoto lenses
No built-in Wi-Fi, No touchscreen or tilting LCD
After a five-year wait, the Canon EOS 7D Mark II adds some class-leading specification to its already popular camera. The 20.2-million-pixel sensor gives improved image quality compared to the 7D, with better performance at high ISO settings, although we...
Outstanding picture quality up to 3200, even 6400 ISO, Tons of customisation options, 10 fps bursts with AF, Quiet shooting, Nice optical viewfinder, Connectivity (USB 3.0, GPS...), Weatherresistant, Fast AF in video, Video mode is standard, but effective
Nontouchsensitive screen doesn't tilt or swivel, Exposure latitude a bit limited, No continuous AF in 50p video mode, No 4K TV/Cinema, No macro flash for focusing in the dark (although it does use the standard flash), No WiFi
The Canon 7D Mark II may not be revolutionary, but it adds enough elements to the already excellent 7D to make it a fantastic, versatile camera that's worth your attention. Pretty much everything has been stepped up on this model. That said, we do have tr...

Fantastic image quality including to high ISO sensitivities, rugged and weather-sealed build quality, new 65-point autofocus system is brilliant, stacks of customisation, battery outperforms official quota
No tilt-angle screen, no touch controls, live view autofocus not always on point, not a huge image quality upgrade over original 7D, no 4K video, no Wi-Fi built-in
Let's cut to the chase: we're yet to use an APS-C sensor DSLR camera that's impressed us more than the Canon EOS 7D Mark II. It was definitely worth the wait. However, those thinking of upgrading from the original 7D who are hoping for a giant leap...
A worthy successor to one of our favorite DSLRs, but room for improvement still exists Mirrorless cameras are not simply a threat to traditional DSLRs; in many cases they're simply better cameras. Though the pro ranks are firmly in Canon and Nikon han...

Abstract: Canon has renewed one of its reference SLRs and the last edition of the fair Photokina was the place chosen for presentation at society. We talked about the Canon EOS 7D Mark II, a camera that will do well both amateur photography to discerning as profess...
10fps continuous shooting, Excellent ergonomics, Lots of customisation options available
Fixed screen that's not touch, sensitive, No Wi, Fi connectivity built, in, SLR design means the viewfinder can't show the image as it will be captured
As the 7D Mark II uses a new sensor and I have yet to see any images from it, I can't draw any firm conclusions about the image quality that it produces. Canon is claiming that it produces 'best in class' images, but the definition of the camera's class i...
Good image quality, Decent burst performance, Fast, reliable AF
Lacks 4K video recording, No Wi-Fi
The APS-C king has been dethroned For years the original Canon 7D has been a king among APS-C DSLRs. It has been around for five years, but it's finally time for it to be put to bed: the Canon EOS 7D MKII is here. At £1,599 it may seem very expensive for ...
So the final question is would you buy the 7D Mark II? First factor to influence your decision is the pricing. It would cost you about $1,800 in US for just the body, you also get the kit for slightly over than $2,100 that's the 18-135mm 3.5-5.3mm lens. W...
