I am tired of my 7D markII

As I say, at least I have the choice how I use the camera. How can that not be good thing for birders?

Good for birders is the 5D3, according to my own extended experience with both cameras, despite full format and slower burst rate. Much better in-focus hit rate.

I had a Canon 7D Mark II and initially was not happy with it, especially with performance servo AF . He used a 300 2.8 . On a trip to Chile, I stole all the photographic equipment and lost everything he had bought with great sacrifice in 8 years. After a few months , I could buy a new camera and buy again 7D Mark II with a 100-400 IS II . This new camera like the first bird has difficulty following moving towards the camera, for the rest, I think an excellent camera. The AF for stationary subjects is very accurate and the servo when objects move horizontally is very accurate . When the subject moves toward the camera, errs many pictures , but I'm still very happy with the camera and lens.
It is difficult to analyze the problems , but if you're so frustrated , it is likely that your camera has a problem , because in general it works very well , just not as good AF as initially promoted

I have a 7D2, one of the early release batches back in October 2014. And since day 1 uhave had the 7d2, I have found it to overexpose when using zoom lens. Have upgraded firmware to latest and it still the same.
