Pros: Fast af , crop, gps, two carts. Image quality

Cons: Weight, wifi

Opinion: This camera has a great learning curve the af section is very adjustubel but when you know your camera you got great results. 7d mark II is a camera designed for sports or nature photography. The autofocus module is excellent, responsive and highly customizable for different shooting conditions, but it is essential be studied well the manual dedicated to exploit their full potential. The body keeps the autofocus until f8 at the midpoint foam (cross) and this is a good opportunity for more. Reduced shutter lag and gusts up to 10 shots per second give the 7d mark II unmistakably sporty character, as well as very useful (especially for those without super tele in kit) is the crop in the room due to the format aps-c. Just sensor aps-c is the component that most characterizes this camera, from benefit (by multiplying the focal length of the lens) to the limit if you decide to shoot in low light and with very high sensitivity ISO. Also very usabel for macro and landscape. Also gps is nice specely on vacations so you cane see where you have been.

Pros: Very solid construction, shutter speed, AF module practically the same as the pros, general ergonomics, good weight, general settings, excellent value for money, very workable raw files if shot correctly, double memory slots

Cons: Problematic ISO sealing

Opinion: I've had this camera body since 2016 and I have to say that I've always loved this SLR. As everyone has already said, the af module is incredibly fast and professional, the construction is excellent and gives a crazy feeling when shooting. Let's say that for sports and nature photography he almost never betrays him. The lack of wifi is not a big problem, the double slot comes in handy with a dedicated card. The monitor is not articulated, it has never created problems for me, but I understand that some people would appreciate it. The real problem is the ISO sealing, let's say that up to 3200 the files can be used if well exposed, after that absolutely not. Also in view of a change of camera body I will keep it as a forklift in case of need. Thank you 7D2 for all the photos we took together

Pros: Speed, AF, Burst (on the jpg it is very close to the 1DX), AF tracking setting settings equal to the pro, good weight and ergonomics, excellent quality price.

Cons: It suffers damn high iso, above 1600 becomes a problem that is slightly limited with fixed L objectives like a 300 2.8 but still very noisy.

Opinion: I bought the 7D Mark II in exchange for the 7D in 2019 and it was a remarkable step, the ergonomic structure allows a good grip and the tropicalization is very good. For those who do not want to faint with pro bodies this is an excellent alternative for birdlife or naturalism in general, for sport suffers a little. Unfortunately above 1600 iso images begin to become ugly but in any case usable, certainly without big pretensions, for purists of super sharpness may not be up to par while for fans it is an excellent SLR. Not bad if there is no Wifi ...... If you don't do pro photojournalism you don't need it. An articulated monitor wouldn't have been bad.... but neither does the 1DX mark III. Highly recommended for photo hunting or as a second body for sports

Pros: general speed, autofocus, burst, complete and simple menus, af dot arrangement, ergonomic, buttons consistent with other canons

Cons: iso tightness and dynamic range are not in step with the current apsc, but even in 2014 they were not at the top. missing some modern features, sometimes useful, such as touch and wifi

Opinion: It was my first Canon SLR (I came from the Pentax system, abandoned for autofocus), the autofocus is from another planet and the vast availability of lenses made me greatly appreciate the choice made. The autofocus is still current, the speed and constancy are very high, the tracking is lower than the most modern and advanced mirrorless. The image quality was slightly lower than the Pentax I had (K01 and K3), but it was only noticeable at high sensitivities. However, I took shots at 12800 iso with a final quality much more than satisfactory ... I really appreciated the ergonomics, the robustness, the arrangement of keys and rings, after selling it I switched to the 5D mark IV and I felt like I was holding the same machine. It is a machine of substance, if you need speed characteristics, robustness and ergonomics it does not have many rivals, if not at higher prices among the full frame (or the d500 which still costs more and you mount different lenses).

Pros: Excellent camera body for action, excellent AF on almost the entire frame, customization from pro, ergonomic, excellent for those accustomed to 5D, double memory slot.

Cons: Sensor that accuses the years especially for dynamic range and video tightness (but it was not born for that). It is not a body buys and snaps, it must be set properly for every shooting condition. Very pro-oriented rather than prosumer-oriented, it grants few errors.

Opinion: After witnessing the production exit of the 77D and the same 7Dmkii I waited waiting for the hypothetical 7dmkiii. Given the release of the 90D, tested, I opted for a used 7dmkii, the 1.6x is convenient both for the focal length and the wallet. Of the 90D I was not satisfied with the AF (very similar to the 77D that I already own), and the decision to increase the density of the sensor against an increase in the performance of the iso seal; in my opinion a 7dmkii with a sensor of the 77D, but more performing with little light would have been the top, without considering that I always use the Canon 70-200 2.8 at TA and on the 77D already shows its limits in softness at 24 megapixels. To take advantage of the crop on 32 megapixels on apsc you must have the appropriate optics. Moving on to the 7dmkii I must say that at the beginning it did not convince me very much, as workability of the RAW I found the 77D better and more permissive. With the need to get the JPG ready I worked a lot on the photo style (I created some depending on the contexts and I uploaded to profile 1, 2 and 3), over and under exposure, focus options (quite complex, but if you have a 5dsr they are similar), customization of the WB; all I saved on positions C1, C2, C3 to have everything ready when needed. Now I am very happy with the result obtained. I read about the short battery life, I use little screen, very little, no stabilizer, but the AF of the 70-200 2.8 works constantly all the time and I make the machine generate the reduced JPG and I can shoot 1500-2000 shots before getting to the last notch. The sore button for me is the dynamic range more than the iso seal, let's say that up to 3200 iso does its job, above the noise there is, but unless you want to print large format does not give problems; the problem is the loss of chromatic detail in the midtones, in this aspect the 77D is better. Fantastic customization of the various buttons and selectors, customizations that are saved along with everything else in the "C" settings of the shooting mode selector. Another thing that made me choose compared to the 90D is the double slot for me fundamental, on the CF I keep the RAW and on the sd the JPG ready, otherwise double copy of the RAW. As for the construction is a 5D, solid, unaesthetic and not very useful flash pop up, but it has the advantage of being used as a Speedlite transmitter without removing flashes external to the scene. Unrivaled autofocus (if not 1dx mkii and mkiii, and R5), rarely misses a beat and also is a full frame af sensor mounted on APSC which offers a very extensive and detailed AF coverage. Fast shooting, silent mode. It obviously suffers on the other electronic features such as the absence of wi-fi that forces you to lose the sd slot to insert the transmitter. The eye proximity sensor is missing for turning off the screen that is not touch, defect only in case of video shooting because you can not directly select the focus. For the rest it has become my favorite machine for action. The exposure indicator to the right of the viewfinder is very useful for when using flashes such as fill in as you have the direct view of the over and under absolute exposure of the machine and the relative one of the flash light (selectable directly from the shortcut on the set button) so as to realize how far the flash deviates from the "zero" exposure of the scene; for normal use just the classic indicator placed under the viewfinder. The shutter bursts are customizable, so if in some cases 10fps is too much, you can lower them. Highly recommended for sport if combined with 70-200 2.8 also not stabilized that although a little soft, up to 20megapixel does not show excessive loss of resolution at TA. Really recommended. Convenient GPS for nature photography.
