On the battery: "The 7D Mark II uses a new battery, the LP-E6N, that has a higher capacity than the previous LP-E6 batteries found in the 5D Mark III and its predecessor. Importantly, though, the form factor remains the same, which means you should still be able to use the older LP-E6 batteries in it."

Is this true? Would be very nice for 5D3 owners.

Am confused website says "First Impression" is that same as "Hands-on" ?

Review or infomercial?

 

[aclectasis]

Sorry, when someone said 'review' I didn't mean it meant 'advertisement'

 

[3kramd5]

...infomercial?

What tipped you off? The Canon logo at the top right? heh.

 

[wtlloyd]

That's a commercial, not a review.

Pretty scenery, so I watched it anyway.

 

[gsealy]

I heard that one little blurb about 'clean HDMI out'. That is a good thing, which I presume is true. For me, this gives the camera a lot more versatility than if it were not present. I want to learn more about the video functionality as things go along.

Every frame in focus.....hmmm

Every frame in focus.....hmmm

Give it to Tony Northrup and I am sure he could bugger up the settings and drop that down to 60%

 

[Ninjajack]

A commercial is not a review

 

[LOALTD]

Hilarious puff piece.

Next time I go alpine climbing I should bring one of these so I don't get lost. *eye roll*

 

[Hjalmarg1]

Let's wait for impartial review to see how it really performs. With the same AF of 5D3 and 1Dx looks promising body.

 

[heptagon]

Review? More like professional commercial spot.

 

[3kramd5]

With the same AF of 5D3 and 1Dx looks promising body.

It isn't, it's a new system. On paper, it's potentially a better system.

He is pretty much doing it now.

On paper the spec's look really impressive, if it ends up being as good as it looks I imagine it may take a few sales away from the 1DX. You could purchase 2 (1 for back up) and a very nice piece of glass for the amount of the 1DX. I know the 1DX has some more features and better weather sealing but I don't think that will matter to a lot of potential buyers; will be interesting to see what happens.

I'm eager to see a real review comparing it to the 70D and 7D (sensor differences, improvements in high ISO noise, etc.). These are not reviews but are "marketing brochures".

 

[Daniel Flather]

Every frame in focus.....hmmm

At that distance with the ef 14mm f2.8 L, I'd guess all frames would be in focus, so the statement made is probably true.
