Possibly. First thing I turned off on the 7d2 and it has not been on since. Major battery drain
Meh. I was only interested in an MILC if it was in EF mount. I agree with LeeJay, these toys should be below $1K at most. Real men use OVFs.
Where's the "boo" button?!!Then I guess real men are going extinct in 10-15 years.

If you choose f8 as your shooting aperture, it will stop down when you choose. So now you have to AF at f8,
Why would anyone ever design a camera that way?
To alleviate focus shift, perhaps. I don’t know anything about the Nikon z system, so just a guess.
Until this leak I was aiming to sell my one of my 7d mk1 and My 400 F5.6 to buy a 7d mk2 but now I don't know. Would you go for 7d mk2 or EOS R paired with a 100-400 IS II(maby with 1.4TC)? I mainly shoot birds and therefore do some heavy croping. I was waiting for an announcement for 7d mk3 but that does not seem to be anything that will arrive any time soon..

Thanks, I knew there was a perfectly logical explanation for why Canon discontinued development of APS-C DSLRs after the launch and commercial success of the EOS M line. I'm just sure they'll do that same thing after the launch of the EOS R.
Except, you know, they didn't...and won't.
If I understand correctly, this is not the value of the scene luminance (in ISO 100 EV units), but the value of autofocus sensor illuminance. Which means that if you use a slower lens or a teleconverter, the ability to autofocus in the low light degrades by the corresponding amount of stops.I don’t understand the point of Autofocus at -6 EV.
Add me to that list, this is why I am holding off doing any upgrades until I see this live.If the price is still sub 2k (or thereabouts) as rumored, I'm buying one. That simple.
Same, i was looking for some ef lens purcase(s) but was holding off until we knew about Canons ML plans. I guess I'll keep holding off for now.My quess is FF mirrorless first will take out APS-C DSLRs and then Entrylevel FF as 6D. Then later - maybe 10 years down the road there will ony be one FF DSLR in lineup - and the rest will be mirrorless.
So I would hold my horses on the 7Dmk2 and wait another half year.
For my self: I will put my wishes for a 24-70 f/2.8 mkII L and a 135L on hold until I have learned more on Canons future plans for the EF mount.
(disclamer: I am not a ML fanboy. I love my 6D, and my EF lenses, and I at this point a bit frustrated to see, that EF lenses are not natively mounted on the EOS R)
You’re probably right about it being sensor illuminance.If I understand correctly, this is not the value of the scene luminance (in ISO 100 EV units), but the value of autofocus sensor illuminance. Which means that if you use a slower lens or a teleconverter, the ability to autofocus in the low light degrades by the corresponding amount of stops.
So, if you want to autofocus at 400/5.6 with TC 2x in twilight, you need a very sensitive AF sensor.
Weddings, dark rooms, moving subjects, fast focus, and no need for autofocus assist light from a flash, etc.I don’t understand the point of Autofocus at -6 EV.
I quoted that, but didn't write that.I don’t understand the point of Autofocus at -6 EV.
Only 1080p at 60fps ?
No 120fps ?
That's a big NO.
Waiting for the next Sony ,probably a7000/6700 will be anounced first ..
I was likely misinterpreting the spec, namely as being able to autofocus in -6EV ambient, which would be pointless.Weddings, dark rooms, moving subjects, fast focus, and no need for autofocus assist light from a flash, etc.
Still not fully pointless, but of very limited use. Like shooting with flash without focus assist light.I was likely misinterpreting the spec, namely as being able to autofocus in -6EV ambient, which would be pointless.
