But the problem is the camera is not out yet, so most of us won't know does the camera work as good as Canon claim?? Specification is one thing, does it work well is another thing. He had use the camera and he is an experience sports shooter, so basically his video is to tell us that how he feel about the camera (such as build, AF performance, battery life and etc) and with his experience on shooting sports, is the camera suitable for shooting sports.
Have a nice day.

Right... and Canon is just going to let no-name people evaluate their preproduction units...

You all seem to be making the same mistake.... You are confusing an in-depth review with advertising...... This is advertising.... Of course it is fluff and no critical information.....

Ok, let me clarify: To reach that conclusion it doesn't require a review at all, it's really rather advertising.

Some very critical info I gathered from the review:
-Great buffer
-AF almost as fast as the 1DX
-AF points very near the edge of the sensor
-Amazing ISO performance for a crop sensor
-Scott Kelby doesn't care as much about DR as everyone else on this fourm!

My comment was aimed at the people bashing Scott Kelbyjaayres20 said:
I watched the "interview" with the attitude that it was an infomercial and thought that it was well done as a selling tool for the 7D2.... It certainly highlighted the reasons to buy it instead of a 70D.... The AF system, the almost endless buffer, and the ISO performance. The infomercial will help sell cameras, and isn't that the reason it was made
I already have my preorder in, but if I was sitting on the fence this would have helped convince me.It was certainly NOT the place to delve into tech details like full well capacity and read noise

+1. One person doing one review or giving experiences from using something over a short period of time is not going to satisfy all the "review points" for all the critics of this forum. None of us have access to it, so this is what we have. But instead of treating it as some information/experience from someone who has used multiple lenses/cameras in advance of it becoming generally available, it's being discounted as worthless. I didn't have any interest in a 7DII, but I miss frames because of the slower framerate and smaller buffer of the 5DIII. Now I'll consider it once it's out a while and I get to have a chance to play with one.

The problem is that he had the camera for like a week? more? and did an hour long video on the camera but didn't say anything of substance. Its actually kind of amazing how little he was able to convey in such a long period of time. I guess the soothing, melodious voice of marketing and vague reassurances that everything is totally great guys just trust me is all people really need. Be sure to get your pre-orders in!

It's been a few days since I watched the video, but as I remember it he had 2 for 36 hours each. One of them had already been returned, the other one (the one he waves around and demonstrates in the video) was to be returned immediately afterwards.

He's used to using a 1DX and has a 70D. He says it's little brother to the 1DX but is an older brother than he thought it would be. ACR and DPP don't support it yet, so what is the point of comparing RAWs? Noise looks better than 70D but it doesn't match FF. It has a deep buffer. What else are you expecting? And you've found some other source that played with a preproduction model and got all the info you wanted? I don't think so...
which led to my second sentence which you didn't quote "But instead of treating it as some information/experience from someone who has used multiple lenses/cameras in advance of it becoming generally available, it's being discounted as worthless."

I finally watched this video last night. I don't get the hate or the criticism, honestly. This was not a review. If you think it was you are probably the type to have bought the next iPhone because Steve Jobs proclaimed it to be "magical, innovative, Apple". It was an informative hands-on account that turns out to be decent marketing material. We won't see full reviews until after the camera has been released. For those who want/need the upgrades in the 7D2 a review probably won't change things, most have already pre-ordered. If you expected huge differences in DR and usable .jpgs at 16k ISO, then by all means continue to lament the lack of technical details, or just wait for a review. Then your complaints have merit.
