Yes, because a JPG HDR mode and a bulb mode make for a ground-breaking win. Maybe it deserves an award, but if those are the things mentioned, come on, it's a joke award, just like most awards of these sort.
Seriously?
You picked those three points out of the whole list. From the TIPA site . . .
With specs that appeal to photographers who know what a DSLR is capable of delivering, the 20.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor in the Canon EOS 7D Mark II resides within a weather- and dust-resistant magnesium alloy body along with dual DIGIC 6 processors. The camera features 10 frames-per-second shooting rate, a 65-point (all cross type) AF system, and a 100% field of view viewfinder. Exciting features include HDR and multi-exposure modes, intervalometer and bulb timer for long exposure capture. The camera has dual card slots for both SD-type and CF cards. To support Full HD video quality there is Dual Pixel CMOS AF and dedicated stereo microphone and built-in headphone jack ports.
THAT's why they say it won the award.
More like you conveniently clipped out the "The jury highlighted such “exciting” features as HDR (High Dynamic Range) and Multiple Exposure modes, as well as an intervalometer and a bulb timer for long exposure capture.". That is what proves it to all be a joke. (And if a Nikon or someone else wins an industry award it's usually the same nonsense, most of these awards are just fluff.)
If they had highlighted large buffer, 10fps, advanced AF system combined with high reach, then fine. But they highlight ridiculous stuff and then just randomly list the Canon product spec sheet list.
