Here's hoping these are not the actual specs for the 7DII I was hoping to put this body in my bag as a second camera.
I bet these are the real specs.
It would be typicall for Canon (aka Boring).
Compare that to these specs:
- 28 MP APS-C CMOS Sensor (ISOCELL tech)
- DRIMe Image Signal Processor
- ISO 100-51200
- 15 fps with tracking.
- UHD 4K 3840×2160 at 30p/24p
- Full HD up to 60p
- 3″ Tiltable AMOLED Touch Display
- Water and dust proof
- Wi-Fi and NFC Connectivity
- Magnesium Alloy, Weather-Sealed Body
- Vertical grip available.
- Will announce revolutionary PD system.
- Slightly bigger body than NX30.
- Body design matches with 16-50 F2.0-F2.8 lens.
- Best high ISO performance and EVF among crop sensor bodies.
- Available on the market in October (TBD)
- Not retro design but similar with Mamiya?
Design: it is THE NX flagship! look just like any other DSLR Flagship. buttons and wheels.
Sensor: definitely not a normal CMOS sensor. either BSI or ISOCELL.
Engine: Brand new Drime engine, multi-core powered.
Continuous shots: Yes, 15 fps with tracking. (Not confirmed full image or not)
2nd gen. PD AF: More than 200 PD sensors from corner to corner on the image sensor. 154 cross sensors among them.
Card: Support UHS-2 memory card.
Lenses: 50-150mm F2.8, another 'S' Lens is coming.
I know there is the telephoto lens problem for Samsung.
But for the body that looks pretty good on paper.
Canons hallmark is not innovation, it´s solid performance.
That´s fine but also boring.
People say Canon as market leader does not have to push the boundries.
Can be conservative in it´s position.
Well we have seen how that worked out for other market leaders in the past.
I only hope the 7D MK2 does not show this ugly noise i hate on the 7D.
Some images are perfectly fine and then you shoot at the same ISO in another situation and you think it´s a completely different camera.
I never had such issues with my Canon FF cameras.
I don´t speak about the FF having less noise, it´s that the 7D seems to be unpredictable in some situations.
Some skys look fine at ISO 800 and the other day it looks like sprinkeld with big sandkorns.
