EOS 7D Mark II Body, EF-S 18 135mm f/3.5 5.6 IS STM, Eyecup Eg, Wide Neck Strap EW-EOS 7D Mark II, USB Interface Cable IFC-150U II, Battery Pack LP-E6N, Battery Charger LC-E6, Cable Protector, EOS Digital Solution Disk, Software Instruction Manual From the Manufacturer Fuel Your Creative PassionThe Canon EOS 7D Mark II digital SLR camera is designed to meet the demands of photographers and videographers who want a camera that can provide a wide range of artistic opportunities. With a winning combination of cutting-edge operations and a robust, ergonomic design, it is optimized to make even the most challenging photography simple and easy. The EOS 7D Mark II features a refined APS-C sized 20.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor with Dual DIGIC 6 Image Processors for gorgeous imagery. It shoots up to 10 frames per second at ISOs ranging from 100–16000 (expandable to H1: 25600, H2: 51200), has a 65-point all cross-type AF system and features Canon's amazing Dual Pixel CMOS AF for brilliant Live-View AF. It has dual card slots for both CF and SD cards, USB 3.0 connectivity and even has built-in GPS for easy location tagging, automatically. Compatible with an ever-expanding collection of EF and EF-S lenses plus a host of EOS accessories, the EOS 7D Mark II is an ideal tool for creative and ambitious photography. The number of available AF points, and whether single line or cross-type, varies depending on the lens. In certain countries and regions, the use of GPS may be restricted. Therefore be sure to use GPS in accordance with the laws and regulations of your country or region. Be particularly careful when traveling outside your home country. As a signal is received from GPS satellites, take sufficient measures when using in locations where the use of electronics is regulated. Superlative Sensor for Gorgeous Images20.2 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor and ISO 100–16000The EOS 7D Mark II has a newly designed 20.2 Megapixel sensor that delivers high-resolution image files with stunning detail and impressive clarity. Optimized for low-light shooting, the EOS 7D Mark II's sensor captures images at up to ISO 16000 (expandable to H1: 25600, H2: 51200) with remarkably low noise, thanks to its improved, higher sensitivity design. Phenomenal for stills, the EOS 7D Mark II's sensor is equally up to the task for movies, delivering Full HD capture even at rates of up to 60p.Dual DIGIC 6 Image ProcessorsThe EOS 7D Mark II's sensor works seamlessly with its Dual DIGIC 6 Image Processors for advanced image processing across the board. These image processors help the EOS 7D Mark II capture up to 1090 JPEG, 31 RAW, and 19 RAW + JPEG shots in a single burst for amazing action photography. Further, they enable the camera's powerful image processing on-the-fly: lens aberration, variances in peripheral illumination and image distortion can all be corrected in real time thanks to the EOS 7D Mark II's Dual DIGIC 6 Image Processors. Speed Improvements Across the BoardHigh speed continuous shooting up to 10.0 fps allows you to capture fast actionWith a new, rugged shutter designed for 200,000 cycles, the EOS 7D Mark II can shoot up to 10 frames per second to capture all the action. With super quick AF and exposure systems complementing the shutter's 55 msec shutter release time lag, the EOS 7D Mark II is tailored to meet and even exceed the speed of the action. Refined mechanics like a newly designed, more efficient shutter-drive motor and a vibration dampened mirror drive mean impressive performance for high caliber image quality, fast.Sophisticated Mirror Control SystemThe EOS 7D Mark II camera employs an advanced mirror vibration control technology that enables the camera to support its speedy, continuous shooting capabilities while ensuring great image quality. The system uses a motor to help reduce the vibrations caused by high-speed shooting. By reducing the vibrations, the camera can achieve accurate and precise autofocus to provide steady and clear action shots at up to 10.0 frames per second. Brilliant, Speedy AF Tracking65-point all cross-type AF system for high-performance, accurate subject tracking with EV -3 sensitivity (center point) for focusing in extreme low-light conditionsAn EOS first, the EOS 7D Mark II features 65 all cross- type AF points for high precision AF at remarkable speed. Cross-type AF points ensure stable AF that is not influenced by the subject's shape or color. On the EOS 7D Mark II, the AF points are spread over a wide area of the frame, enabling faster AF, wherever the subject lies. With a central dual cross-type AF point of f/2.8, AF is enhanced with lenses faster than f/2.8. And thanks to this new system, AF is possible even in dim lighting as low as EV-3. The number of available AF points, and whether single line or cross- type, varies depending on the lens. Achieve Impressive AF During Video CaptureCanon's innovative Dual Pixel CMOS AF enables you to shoot video like a camcorder with smooth, fast, and accurate autofocus and lets you enjoy instant and precise autofocus even when shooting stillsThe EOS 7D Mark II features Canon's revolutionary Dual Pixel CMOS AF, a milestone in AF speed and accuracy that unlocks the potential of Live View shooting. This advanced technology has truly changed what is possible with a DSLR camera. Dual Pixel CMOS AF involves a sophisticated rethinking of the CMOS sensor. Traditionally, image sensors have one photodiode per pixel for recording, but the CMOS sensor on the EOS 7D Mark II has two photodiodes per pixel, 40 million in total, enabling each pixel on the sensor to both perform phase-difference detection autofocus and capture light. With phase-difference detection AF, autofocus is achieved quickly and easily on the camera. This unique AF system enables autofocus on approximately 80% of the image plane, vertically and horizontally, and helps ensure virtually no loss in image quality. Click here for larger image The benefits of Dual Pixel CMOS AF are clearly evident in Live View and video shooting, where the EOS 7D Mark II achieves natural, precise focus very quickly, even when switching between subjects. And, combined with the predictive power of Movie Servo AF, subjects in motion are smoothly and consistently tracked – once focus is locked, the EOS 7D Mark II holds on! Plus, with the shallow depth-of-field afforded by EOS optics, video gains a brilliant, cinematic ambience lacking when shooting video with many other Digital SLRs. HD Quality, EOS PerformanceStunning Full HD video with custom Movie Servo AF (speed and sensitivity) for continuous focus tracking of moving subjects, multiple frame rates including Full HD recording at 60p in MOV and MP4 formats and uncompressed HDMI outWhile offering performance improvements across the board for still photography, the EOS 7D Mark II is also an incredibly capable HD movie camera. Taking advantage of its Dual Pixel CMOS AF capabilities, the EOS 7D Mark II has customizable Movie Servo AF options: not only can AF location be defined, AF speed and tracking intervals can be specified too, for fluid, smooth focus transitions. The EOS 7D Mark II delivers refined and detailed image quality with Full HD 60P recording at ISO values up to 16000, has an HDMI output and records to both SD and CF cards for versatility and security during important shoots. Comprehensive Information, Right in the ViewfinderIntelligent Viewfinder II provides approximately 100% field of view for shooting easeThe EOS 7D Mark II's Intelligent Viewfinder II makes it easy to both shoot, change and confirm camera settings and shooting modes all without looking away from the viewfinder. Displaying approximately 100% of the composition, the viewfinder can show settings like shooting mode, exposure level, white balance, drive mode, AF operation, metering mode, recording format, even an electronic level and more. All of this information can be displayed by or superimposed easily over the image for review while shooting, and multiple views are customizable through the EOS 7D Mark II's simple user interface. Specialty Controls, Built Right InImproved custom controls and built-in intervalometer and bulb timer for expanded creativityAn EOS first, the EOS 7D Mark II offers time-lapse fixed-point shooting and long exposures without the need for a remote control. The EOS 7D Mark II's interval timer takes from 1 to 99 shots at preselected intervals, ideal for shooting flowers as they bloom or clouds drifting through the sky. Its built-in bulb timer keeps the shutter open for a designated amount of time, perfect for night photography, or to capture the flow of traffic on a street corner. Built to PerformMagnesium alloy body with shutter durability up to 200,000 cycles and enhanced dust and weather resistanceThe EOS 7D Mark II is constructed of the highest quality materials, and to exacting standards that ensure unfettered performance at all times. For example, the shutter can shoot at speeds up to 1/8000 sec. for up to 200,000 cycles, the chassis is built of lightweight and rigid magnesium, and the camera's seals are built to resist water and dust. This combination makes the EOS 7D Mark II ready for almost anything. Speed and Accuracy with Intelligent Subject Recognition and AnalysisEOS Scene Detection System features a new 150,000-pixel RGB+IR Metering Sensor for improved precisionThe EOS 7D Mark II has an amazing iSA Intelligent Subject Analysis system that employs an independent RGB light sensor with approximately 150,000-pixel resolution. This sensor enables Canon's intelligent Tracking and Recognition system (iTR AF) that detects and tracks subjects, automatically switching the AF point to optimize tracking. With new tracking algorithms tailored to recognize faces and colors, this system serves as a brilliant foundation to the EOS 7D Mark II's AF system. Extraordinary GPS, Built-inBuilt-in GPS Receiver provides a digital compass, records location information (longitude, latitude, elevation and universal coordinated time (UTC)) as EXIF information for geotagging images when shootingIdeal for travel or nature photography, the EOS 7D Mark II's built-in GPS can record longitude, latitude and altitude data as EXIF data, can track movement at set intervals with its logging function, and can even set the camera's internal clock to local time! When using the logger function on a computer, you will see the exact route you travelled, and the map will show you where and when you took each image. In certain countries and regions, the use of GPS may be restricted. Therefore be sure to use GPS in accordance with the laws and regulations of your country or region. Be particularly careful when traveling outside your home country. As a signal is received from GPS satellites, take sufficient measures when using in locations where the use of electronics is regulated. Sharp and Clear Viewing3.0-inch Clear View II LCD monitor (approximately 1,040,000 dots) for bright and clear viewingThe EOS 7D Mark II comes with a 3.0-inch Clear View II LCD monitor for shooting videos and stills. Displaying fine detail (at approximately 1.04 million dots), this screen is perfect for composing and reviewing images. Thanks to a solid construction between the monitor's resin-coated cover and the liquid crystal display, reflections are minimized, and the display can be viewed with reduced glare. The LCD's surface is treated with a smudge-resistant coating to minimize fingerprints and maintain a bright, clear image display. Additional FeaturesAnti-flicker shootingThe EOS 7D Mark II features a new flicker detection system that not only alerts the user in the viewfinder, but with the camera's Anti-Flicker Shooting function can compensate for flickering light sources, taking shots only at peak light volume. This feature is useful for minimizing disparities in color and exposure, especially during continuous shooting in sub-optimal lighting situations.In-camera lens aberration correctionsTo help photographers with achieving high quality images, the EOS 7D Mark II corrects image distortions like peripheral illumination, chromatic aberration and distortion, in-camera, as the image is recorded. When shooting in Live View mode, the results of distortion can even be monitored in real time through the EOS 7D Mark II's Image Simulation Function.USB 3.0The EOS 7D Mark II features a USB 3.0 digital terminal for fast transfer to PCs and printers, plus offers connectivity to Canon's WFT-E7 (Version 2) for wireless transfer and Wi-Fi® compatibility. NOTE: For connecting an interface cable to the USB 3.0 terminal, a cable protector is included with the EOS 7D Mark II, and must be used at all times to protect the camera's circuit board.

  • 7D Mark II is First Class And One of the Fastest DSLRs in the World
Style: Body Set: Base
3/29/2015 – The GPS function has been an invaluable tool in helping me identify towns, areas, restaurants and attractions that I have been to. When the metadata of each picture is combined with Lightroom 5 ‘Map Mode’, tracking down locations is a joy to find places that I may have forgotten about along my journeys. Within the last two months, I travelled to a few international locations and I did not realize how fast and accurate the GPS can be when pictures are downloaded to Lightroom 5. ------ 3//29/2015 – In my original post, I made a comment about the strength of the 7D Mark II ISO that I have to make a correction to help other customers get the most accurate information. Originally, I stated “Honestly, this camera can shoot excellent shots even at 6,400 and above, and in order to see noise, you would have to blow up the picture on a computer or a very large print by zooming in at every single detail. Compared to most DSLRs on the market except the 1D-X (or Mark Five for those counting), the ISO performance on this camera is first class.” After over 1500 shots later, my experience is telling me that the high ISO function of 16,000 is a ‘strength’ to help the 7D Mark II shoot in low light situations much easier than a DSLR that can only typically produce 6,400, but it does not really improve the noise issue. When I made my original post, I was using the Canon’s ‘Digital Photo Professional’ (DPP) software which I believe masks a lot of the noise by default settings, but now that I upgraded to Lightroom 5 (LR5), I can see much more detail (noise) with the same pictures in RAW. There were shots that I have taken at 320 or 800 ISO now in daylight or slightly indoor settings that had significant noise issues, which are much lower than 6,400. While the higher ISO in the 7D Mark II helps the photographer take shots in low light situations with ease, I think the high ISO of 16,000 is considered an ‘overcompensation factor’ probably needed to help the APS-C sensor shoot pictures on 7D Mark II easier than say a full frame 5D Mark III or 6D DSLR. I have actually seen other photography videos run test on this sensor and ISO issue, and I believe that there is truth to this issue. The 7D Mark II is a great all around fast and powerful camera for the money. (My favorite at the moment) While every camera has noise issues, don’t expect this model to have the best sensor and noise functions compared to full-frame cameras. Regardless, with Lightroom 5, you can clean it up anyway, problem solved! ------- Update 2/1/2015 - One negative thing I noticed about the 7D Mark II is the GPS function. I love it, but I have been observing for the past few weeks how if you enable the GPS, and turn off the camera, the GPS is still on and drains the batteries fairly quickly in a matter of days. Canon should have made this function turn off when the camera is turned off, not the same as camera on, but in sleep mode. Ever since, I disabled the GPS with the camera turned off, the batteries maintains its energy. Strange that this GPS function can be still use power even when you shut off the camera. Update 1/19/2015 - Just learned that the 7D Mark comes with a built in intervalometer for long term continuous shooting for photography like star trailing. This camera is getting better by the day. --------- My review and proud new owner of the Canon 7D Mark II. I graduated from the Rebel T5 and I must say up front that this camera is by far quite possibly the fastest and most advanced APS-C 1.6x (60% more zoom with any lens) crop factor body on the market! This camera is already becoming the envy from other photographers and my review will be updated periodically to provide deeper insights of this valuable piece of technology. One of the main inspirations for purchasing the 7D Mark II is because I kept coming across features that I wanted to use, but could not on my lower end model such as built in transmitter for wireless flash, IR sensor for wireless shutter, GPS for location stats for pictures taken and a slew of other internal functions. I wanted a camera that I did not have to worry about lacking features that only the top tier Canon body lineup had for the next 5 years, so I made the jump. With that said, the 7D Mark II has an astronomical and dizzying amount of awesome features, so my review is based on a hands on experience and focused on the major highlights. So here goes something! 1) The first observation I immediately noticed is how heavy and solidly built the 7D Mark II is. At 820 grams or 1.80 lbs., this camera weighs like a beefy beast. This body contains magnesium alloy and you can tell immediately. My other cameras feel like a feather weight compared to this. This weight does not count adding a pro standard or telephoto lens, flash and battery grip. In the end, it may add up to be nearly 4 - 10 lbs. depending on your setup. All the buttons are placed in the right spots, the LCD screen is surprisingly smaller at 3 inches instead of the standard 3.2 inches like my Rebel T5 and other DSLR bodies. I could not reuse my extra screen protectors. You notice a cool eight way directional `joystick' with a lever right above the `Q' button to operate on board controls such as the highly anticipated 65 AF All Cross Point System , which will be discussed later. 2) Second, at 10 FPS High Continuous shutter speed, the 7D Mark II is a rapid fire beast! Let me explain, on most cameras, you can hear the shutter close and release making a sound like `Chit...Cher'. (Sounds like Transformers, Don't laugh, lol) On the 7D Mark II, you just hear "Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick". The sound of the shutter is so fast, it literally moves faster than the blink of an eye, a heartbeat, or maybe close to the speed of light. (No exaggeration). Although you can use this camera for any type of photography, this body is most certainly made for sports, wildlife and anything that moves fast. I even love how you can set the shutter to shoot photos from ranges such as 1/1,000 to 1/8,000 of a second, preventing the camera from falling below a certain shutter threshold if the subject moves very fast. Also, you can decrease shutter speeds in High Mode from 5 to 10 FPS, Low Mode from 1-9 FPS and even switch to a Silent Mode from 1-4 FPS. Interestingly, many other high speed shutter functions on other camera sound like rockets at war, whereas the 7D Mark II sounds fairly quiet even in High Mode at 10 FPS. (No joke) The buffer on the camera also does a great job loading the multitude of all the recently taken pictures very quickly to the SD or CF cards, which you have the option of adding both at the same time and changing which one you want to use for pictures and video (I only use SD Cards for now) 3) The 65 All Cross Point AF is a masterpiece of the smartest Canon technology. The ability to switch on the AF Points while looking through the viewfinder and A) Increase the size of the AF Points, B) Move the AF Points to different subjects in the view, C) See clearly with a red lit VF Display, and D) Allow the AI Servo Mode to perform an extra six `Cases' to track your subjects with the AF mode.....insane computer camera technology! My words cannot do justice for the function alone, I hear that this mode alone surpasses anything on the market right now. I will admit that the 65 All Cross Point works like 99 % of the time for that tact sharpness of your intended subject demanded by the most professional photographers. I would prefer 100% of the time, because of the cost and value of this product along with an expensive Canon lens. In addition, the Viewfinder is so intelligent that it allows the user to add or remove certain icons to be displayed through the viewfinder itself such as AF Mode, Shoot Mode, White Balance, Drive Mode, Metering, Image Quality and even Anti-Flicker Mode. Amazing! Other than that, the 65 All Cross Point system works excellently. 4) ISO, ISO, ISO. Concerning ISO, if you use a 7D Mark II, you really do not need to worry about noise and grain on most shots. Even in low lit environments, the 7D Mark II performs exceedingly well with a healthy range of 23 ISO increments from 100 - 16,000. If you want more, you can go to 25,600 or the max 51,200. Honestly, this camera can shoot excellent shots even at 6,400 and above, and in order to see noise, you would have to blow up the picture on a computer or a very large print by zooming in at every single detail. Compared to most DSLRs on the market except the 1D-X (or Mark Five for those counting), the ISO performance on this camera is first class. 5) Another function that I thought I should add to my review is on exposure. This may seem insignificant to some, but I thought this was awesome. On my older models including the Rebel T5, I had trouble in Shutter and Aperture Priority Modes where the use of a Speedlite Flash would cause over exposure. (I tried adjusting my settings to no avail) However, on the 7D Mark II, there is a function that allows the user to command the computer to correct and over and under exposure specifically in those modes mentioned prior. Now when I use my Speedlite Flash in Shutter and Aperture Priority, I don't have that over exposure problem anymore. The only negative thing I noticed about the 7D Mark II is the battery life. I don't think it is the battery itself, but I believe this body juices so much battery power with the high speed 10 FPS. The shutter speed is absolutely insane and the camera by design encourages you to switch from One Shot Mode to High Speed Continuous Mode; it is that addictive to shoot shots so fast during live action events that you do not want to miss a beat. So there you have it, I really wish I could write more because there really is a lot to talk about this particular camera. It is a first class DSLR that outshines some of the many other Canon and other competitor cameras on the market. When you compare the specs and hands on experience, the 7D Mark is (IMO) the 1D-X's `little BIG brother" for much lower, but still price tag. Believe me, I did thought about getting the 5D Mark III, but I extremely satisfied and overwhelmed with prideful ownership for the 7D Mark II because it is really a stellar DSLR camera. I strongly believe this camera will retain of its value for photography professionals and enthusiast for years to come. ... show more

  • After four years with a 7D, the 7D2 is a really nice step up
Style: Body Set: Base
NICE upgrade!!!! Besides several small pocket Canons like G11 and S100, I've owned a 40D, 50D, and for the last 4 years my primary body has been a 7D. Photography is part of what I do professionally AND it is a huge personal passion. Between the two, I shoot 25k-30k images a year. I tend to shoot tightly cropped, longer images, not wider, so the x1.6 crop factor over a full-frame pro body works fine for me (as does the price difference... worth a nice chunk of L-glass). The 7D2 includes my top three wish-list items over the 7D: locking mode dial, GPS, more focus points. Beyond that there are MANY other upgrades that work to my advantage, such a super-speedy continuous shooting, great high ISO IQ, excellent focusing and focus tracking options, to name a few. For an experienced photographer who wants to finesse settings to maximize a shooting style or nail a subject, this is a great body. (In that regard, the software and combo possibilities are VERY much like a 5D3.) All the remarkable features, options and combinations of options can be confusing and overwhelming, even for an experienced photog. The owner's manual (even the big one that comes as a PDF) is not always much help teaching you what the heck something is or why you'd want to set it "this way" instead of "that way." In several ways, the 7D2 is much more complicated than the 7D. Once you get your 7D2, it might behoove you to find a good, expansive guide to give real-world examples and reasons why you should consider certain settings. (I got the 400-pg Klostermann guide PDF. Good, inexpensive, it's helpful and covers all the features pretty well, but it's not quite all I was hoping for. With that said, even though I am an experienced photog who reads owner's manuals, it definitely has helped me understand some of the improved and expanded features much better.) [I won't go into a review of the remarkable features of the 7D2. Others have done that far better than I can. But I do want to put in a good word for the original Canon 7D and the importance of good lenses. The 7D is selling for way less than a grand these days. (Right now I see it at a couple very reputable camera stores for under $800!!!) If I was on a budget and had my choice between a "7D2 with non-L-glass" or a "7D with an L-lens," I'd go for the latter in a second. The lens is going to make a bigger difference in IQ (image quality) than either of those bodies. (I own several chunks of L-glass; I know.) Other advantages to the 7D: the menus/settings are easier to understand and it gets over 1500 images on a battery charge (vs maybe 800 images with 7D2). If your resources are limited, but you want to take high quality images, consider buying the best lenses possible. Also, consider that a Canon L-lens will probably retain 80%-90% of its value forever, but a body will lose 70% of its value in just a few years.] Bringing this review back to the 7D2 -- fabulous camera! Great new tool. Love it! ... show more
