If I am paid by Canon to take pictures with a 7D2, that is what I will do. If I am paid to use a GoPro or an iPhone, then that's what I will use.

The goal is not to take great pictures at the world cup, it is to take great pictures with a 7D2 at the world cup.

Of course. How many of those people do you think there are? Very, very few. Getting accreditation for these things is very tough, I know I have to go through the process a lot, but I have never, ever, met someone "working" for Canon. The next event I am at Canon will be there, they have already been informed I will be there (along with hundreds presumably of other CPS/media members) but I am not paid by them, nor will I use something that does not meet my needs.

Oh come on, if Canon want someone shooting something at the World Cup they will NO problem whatsoever getting that person accreditation. There is one heck of a difference between Canon going for accreditations for people than you or whatever little media you work for trying to get accredited.

Did anyone notice the amount of rain covers over certain lens / camera combos with last night's Uruguary vs England game? I bet that's where all the 7DII's are hiding. A rain cover is hardly needed in Sao Paulo this time of year!
