This video probably took them 5 years to make...

Be nice if it has the "silent" mode HSS of the 5d3.. didn't notice that mentioned anywhere, it's a great benefit when shooting wildlife a bit closer... ;D

Please don't throw stones at me...

But should I "upgrade" from my 1D Mk3 to the 7D II for sports? My sensor is 7 years old already, and 1.6x gives me more reach.

Although 1D Mark iii is a wonderful camera for studio and landscape, 7D Mark ii will probably do better in photos of sports and wildlife.

And motherf*ckers, $1800 in US and 2000EURO ($2587) in Europe.

In Germany, it is 1699€!!! that is incredibly low! Normally it is $=€ with cameras over here!

I reckon release date hasn't been announced? How many months will we have to wait?

Earlier today, US dealers were quoting mid November. UK dealer Park Cameras were suggesting 5-7 days but that soon vanished from their website!

Re: Why is there not an L-series 24-70 equivalent for cropped sensors?!!

Scott Kelby said in his video that it produces the cleanest high ISO images he's ever seen from a crop sensor dSLR.

10-frames-per-second! (Drops the mic. Walks off stage). ;-)

someone show him the NX1.

now when it´s about tracking the 7D MK2 will be better i guess but from the FPS alone.. 15 are better than 10.

LOL. In your experience, do many static subjects require 10-15 fps bursts? For moving subjects, I bet the 10 fps of the 7DII yields a higher keeper rate than the 15 fps of the NX1. The 7DII's hit rate will also be higher than the NX1 with native lenses longer than 200mm...it's not hard to be higher than zero.

that´s not the question.

15 FPS are more than 10 FPS. it´s a fact.

and that the canon will be better for tracking.. well i wrote that.

I see. Isnt the 1Ds MkIII the one for studio and landscape?
Anyway, I'll have to see if the body is tiny. The 6D is way to small for my hands, the 1D fits perfectly.

 

[stefsan]

On paper this looks like a real winner and I can sense that curious urge to hit the pre-order button in my fingertips. But I will resist at least until there are reliable tests of sensor performance and IQ.

By the way: I could not find any info wether the radio flash trigger is still on board. I hope I just missed that…

Jrista where are you? Still sleep? wake up!

Amazon states a release date of 11/17

November, 2017?

Seems about right. ;D

Yeah but let me know how many of those Samsungs you see on the sidelines of NFL, NCAA, NBA, NHL, MLB, Soccer, and Tiddlywinks games compared to this 7D2 a year from now. Samsung looks like it will be a good camera but Pros will stay with Canon. Again, it's all about who this rig was built for. No offense to Samsung.

 

[Mark D5 TEAM II]

Wow, AP and PentaPhoto's Alessandro Trovati's 7D2 report is fulsome in praise, 10/10 frames in focus with no AF configuration needed:

He continues: “I wanted to use the EOS 7D Mark II in a very different way to how I would normally work with my usual cameras (Alessandro shoots with an EOS-1D X and an EOS 5D Mark III), and instead of going through the Custom Functions to set it up I used the camera like an amateur would shoot, just to see how well it would take care of focusing and speed right out-of-the-box. I have to tell you, I was so incredibly surprised. This camera shoots at 10fps and it holds focus perfectly, even when shooting subjects that are moving fast in front of you from left to right, or right to left. The sport of ‘Calcio fiorentino’ is like a gladiator match between the players and the action happens so fast you need a very special camera to capture all the atmosphere.”

70D Firmware Update?

I'm hoping that some of the new features on the 7DII will trickle down to the 70D as a firmware update in the not-to-distant future. Movie-Servo and a few other features make sense.
