    Canon Europe: "Why the future's bright for DSLR"

    Everything this article describes is applicable for the EOS 7D Mk II and its owners. And yet Canon killed this DSLR that many were waiting and hoping for. The article's title should therefore be: "Why the future's bright for full frame DSLRs - because that will be the only ones we at Canon...

    7D Mark ii replacement

    After shooting with canon gear for almost 3 decades, I also do not think that there will be a cropped DSLR-body for action photographers. And so far, mirrorless do not come close to DSLR for tracking fast moving objects. So I and 2 friends from my photo club did the following. Because the Nikon...

    What surprises does Canon still have in store for the EOS-1D X Mark III?

    Perhaps a cropped version, perhaps call it 7D Mk III? No problem for me if all "high-end" video features are left out.

    Trust me, I'm a scientist (and not an advertising exec or journalist)

    I must have really hit an open nerve here when even neuro steps in to support bashing me. And to Kit: If you really mean "I'm personally interested in people stopped spreading FUD about scientists", then keep an open mind. The mere fact that someone is a scientist (or claims to be one) does not...

    Trust me, I'm a scientist (and not an advertising exec or journalist)

    Yes you gave actual names of scientists who exposed the dangers of smoking. It just is not relevant to what I wrote, because the two can occur alongsice eachother. And they do.

    Trust me, I'm a scientist (and not an advertising exec or journalist)

    What a general remark about scentists can trigger.................... It is even worse. It is not that there have been scientists that wrote things that are not trustworthy. In fact,the claims of thescientists I referred toand the results from their 'research' looked very trustworthy. The...

    Trust me, I'm a scientist (and not an advertising exec or journalist)

    What an emotion in that reply, AlanF. And apparently triggered by what you THINK I might men instead of what I actually wrote and therefore what I mean. I did not write that all scientists sold out to the Tobacco industry. Yet you seem to feel you must put the label of climate sceptic on me...

    Trust me, I'm a scientist (and not an advertising exec or journalist)

    For several decades, many and many scientists from several areas of expertise have been telling us that smoking was no problem for your health. And at those points in time they all had the research and names to back their claims. The big law suits all over the world, but in particular the US...

    Do you think the 90D is superior to the 7DII?

    There obviously is more to it than you want to acknowledge. Perhaps you are that good or perhaps you just do not need any advanced equipment for your photography. Then you are one of those people that could even uffice with the equipment from "10, 20, 30 or even 40 years ago" that you yourself...

    Do you think the 90D is superior to the 7DII?

    That is not the issue I (implicitely) raised. Even at present there are a lot of situations that are a big challenge for the best action cameras. Specific combinations of lighting, high speed and very manouevrable subjects, etc. . And on the other hand, several situations that are more or less...

    Do you think the 90D is superior to the 7DII?

    Based on the specs (....) I tend to agree with this. But the original question was "Do you think the 90D is superior to the 7DII?". And for several reasons the 90D, being a superb allrounder, cannot match a 5-years old specialist like the 7D Mk II. The main reasons that the 90D cannot even...

    Canon EOS 90D promotional video appears to have leaked

    "You got ..... all 7D line features"? You are joking, right? If not: download and read the 7D II's Manual (apparently you do not have one, hence: download it).

    Canon EOS 90D and Canon EOS M6 Mark II announcements coming at the end of August

    Kindly leave me out of your 'discissions' with others: you do not know me and your replies to my earlier post showed you are not interested either. That you need this forum for confirmation was already clear; now you also showed your vindictive side.

    Canon EOS 90D and Canon EOS M6 Mark II announcements coming at the end of August

    No, dtaylor, you are misrepresenting what I wrote - and clearly want to keep doing so. But in case you just don't understand: I wrote "You cannot realistically expect that Canon will deliver a camera named xxD and priced at around USD 1400.00 to be as good an action camera as a camera from the...

    Canon EOS 90D and Canon EOS M6 Mark II announcements coming at the end of August

    Apparently you are missing your own point, dear dtaylor. I wrote "You cannot realistically expect that Canon will deliver a camera named xxD and priced at around USD 1400.00 to be as good an action camera as a camera from the xD-series..." and then you replied with a comparison about a...

    Canon EOS 90D and Canon EOS M6 Mark II announcements coming at the end of August

    Yes, dtaylor, the 5D is a fine camera for the purposes you describe: landscape, studio and I myself will even add: for occasional action stills. The 1D-series is the action-beast with terrific performance for action photography. Although the 5D-series is 'derived from' the 1D to some extent...

    Canon EOS 90D and Canon EOS M6 Mark II announcements coming at the end of August

    in reply to Why wait for specs, canonical? Do you expect the 90D to match or even surpass the 7D Mk II as an action camera? You cannot realistically expect that Canon will deliver a camera named xxD and priced at around USD 1400.00 to be as good an action camera as a camera from the...

    What should I replace my 7D II with?

    I have been thinking over the same issue for well over a year now: what to do if (we now know: when) Canon does not bring out a capable successor for my 7D Mk II. The last 2 years, 2 people from my photo club went from the 7D and 7D Mk II to the Nikon D500. Since then I have done a lot of...

    Canon EOS 90D Specification List [CR1]

    Thanks for your reply, AlanF. These test results are more or less unanimous, and that really puzzled me. Because this does not correspond with what I have seen over the last 1½ years in results from 3 people having a D500 with the 80-400mm and 4 people with the 7D Mk II (including myself) from...

    Canon EOS 90D Specification List [CR1]

    In the case of the 200-400 mm with 1.4TC you are right: then you simply need the f/8 AF-points for the combo to just work. But for the rest my experiences are quite different. I also have both the 80D and the 7D Mk II. With the 100-400 II, the AF on the 7D Mk II is faster and more reliable...
