Designed with a penchant for speed, the EOS 7D Mark II DSLR Camera from Canon is characterized by its APS-C-sized 20.2MP CMOS sensor, dual DIGIC 6 image processors, and a top continuous shooting rate of 10 fps. Both a 65-point all cross-type phase-detection AF system and Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology benefit fast, accurate focusing performance for both optical viewfinder and live view shooting. Additionally, the combination of the dual image processors along with the CMOS sensor also contribute to enhanced low-light sensitivity to a native ISO 16000, which is further expandable to ISO 51200. The 7D Mark II comfortably performs in a range of challenging situations, and while ideally situated as a tool for sports and wildlife photographers, it resides equally as well in the hands of contemporary multimedia image-makers.

Complementing the 7D Mark II's still imaging assets, support for recording full HD 1080p video is available, in multiple frame rates up to 60 fps. Beyond saving to internal memory cards, uncompressed video can also be recorded to optional external recorders via an HDMI connection. Custom Movie Servo AF, which is aided by the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system, serves to highlight movie recording abilities by enabling controllable speed and sensitivity settings for continuous focusing with moving subjects.

Housing the robust set of imaging capabilities is an equally robust dust and weather-sealed magnesium alloy body, which contains a durable shutter mechanism tested for up to 200,000 actuations. A fixed 3.0" 1.04m-dot Clear View II LCD screen is incorporated into the design, along with a bright Intelligent Viewfinder II optical finder, for versatile monitoring and playback abilities. Customizable buttons are placed about the body for personalized control over different settings and a built-in GPS module automatically embeds location data into files for geotagging images when shooting.

20.2MP APS-C CMOS Sensor and Dual DIGIC 6 Image Processors

Featuring a 20.2 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor and Dual DIGIC 6 image processors, the 7D Mark II is capable of producing high-resolution, well-detailed still imagery and full HD 1080p video with notable sensitivity and minimal noise. A native ISO range of 100-16000, which can further be expanded to ISO 51200, is well-suited to working in difficult lighting conditions and the processing power of the DIGIC 6 processors also contributes to enhanced low-light quality with smooth color and tonal gradations and corrected optical aberrations.

The dual processor design further benefits the imaging system through the addition of speed, which avails 10 fps continuous shooting for over 1000 JPEGs, 31 RAW, or 19 RAW+JPEG files, along with a top shutter speed of 1/8000 sec. and a top flash sync speed of 1/250 sec. Additionally, a shutter lag time of 0.055 sec. and a start-up time of just 0.1 sec. help keep the camera ready to perform when desired.

65-Point All Cross-Type AF System

When shooting with the optical viewfinder, a 65-point all cross-type autofocus system is used to provide wide frame coverage for acquiring focus accurately and quickly. The center point of this cluster is a high-precision dual cross-type sensor that benefits working with f/2.8, or faster, lenses and supports focusing down to -3 EV to enable working in low-light conditions. These focus points are configurable and allow homing in on specific elements within the frame to focus on, or, alternatively, all can be used to provide coverage across the frame.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF

Dual Pixel CMOS AF is a refined live view focusing technology that works to provide incredibly quick and precise autofocusing abilities that function in a similar manner to how a camcorder acquires focus. This system integrates two separate photodiodes within each pixel to provide a broad and dense network of phase-detection gathering elements across nearly 80% of the frame to help reduce focus hunting for faster, more direct control of focus placement. Dual Pixel CMOS AF is utilized during live view applications, for either still or video shooting.

When working with still imagery, this focusing system works to acquire focus quickly and accurately, making it ideally suited to shooting and tracking moving subjects so that critical focus is attained with each shot. When shooting video, focusing is smooth and natural when changing from different subjects or different distances within the scene. Subject tracking in movies is also heightened due to the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system's ability to recognize subjects and maintain focus when working within changing or cluttered scenery.

EOS HD Video

Full HD 1080p video recording is supported in multiple frame rates, up to 60 fps, in both the MOV and MP4 file formats. Additionally, uncompressed video can be recorded to an optional external recorded via the HDMI output. In-camera video is recorded using the high quality H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec and manual exposure control is supported for greater refinement over the look and feel of recordings. Video clips are automatically partitioned after the file size has reached 4GB and both IPB and All i-frame compressions are available for use depending on editing and output preferences.

When recording video, customizable Movie Servo AF can be utilized to adjust the focusing location, speed, and tracking intervals for fluid and smooth AF quality. Support is also available for STM lenses, which deliver exceptionally quiet and smooth focusing to benefit the overall quality of movies.

Body Design

Featuring a durable magnesium alloy body with a shutter tested to 200,000 cycles, along with enhanced mirror and shutter drive mechanisms, this rugged camera is also sealed to resist dust and moisture for use in inclement conditions. On the rear of the camera is a bright, large 3.0" 1.04m-dot LCD screen that can be used for live view monitoring, image review, and menu navigation. It features a smudge-resistant and anti-reflective Clear View II coating to better enable viewing in bright lighting conditions. Alternatively, for eye-level finding, an optical Intelligent Viewfinder II is incorporated into the design and provides 100% frame coverage, for greater composition accuracy, and an overlay display to highlight pertinent shooting settings, such as a digital level, exposure information, and other camera functions. The body design also incorporates a dual memory card slot that accepts one CompactFlash card and one SD/SDHC/SDXC card to extend file saving capabilities by permitting overflow recording or in-camera duplicating. The camera also features a range of customizable controls that can be configured to adjust a range of settings based on your personal preference.

Scene Detection System and Exposure Metering

For enhanced precision in regard to exposure metering, an iSA (Intelligent Scene Analysis) system employs an independent 150,000-pixel RGB metering sensor, which benefits the iTR AF (Intelligent Tracking and Recognition) system, for consistent, precise subject tracking and exposure metering capabilities. These systems also incorporated dedicated tracking algorithms designed to recognize faces and colors, too, to support both exposure metering and autofocus functions.

Other Camera Features

A built-in intervalometer permits the creation of time lapse imagery and supports recording 1-99 consecutive frames in pre-selected intervals.

The bulb shutter speed setting enables you to keep the shutter open as long as desired for an expanded range of creative exposure capabilities.

An integrated GPS Receiver automatically records location data with each exposure, including longitude and latitude, elevation, and UTC time as EXIF data, and also provides a digital compass. Movement can also be tracked at set intervals to showcase your routes taken during shooting.

Advanced mirror vibration control technology supports the 7D Mark II's exceptional continuous shooting speeds and helps to maintain consistent results during shooting bursts.

A flicker detection system can automatically warn you, in the viewfinder, when a flickering light source has been detected. The effects of these light sources can be compensated for using the Anti-Flicker Shooting function, which will automatically record images only during instances of peak light volume. This system is especially useful for reducing inconsistent exposure or color results, which are prevalent when continuously shooting in difficult lighting conditions.

In-camera correction for a variety of lens aberrations is possible, including the ability to control peripheral illumination, chromatic aberration, and other distortions. When working in live view, the Image Simulation Function can be utilized to monitor the effects of distortion correction for fine-tuning your results.

A USB 3.0 terminal is available for expedited transfer speeds between the camera and a computer or the optional WFT-E7 (Version 2) for Wi-Fi connectivity.

Picture Style modes allow you to set predefined looks to imagery in-camera and include Auto, Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Faithful, Monochrome, and up to three User Defined settings.

Language support: English, German, French, Dutch, Danish, Portuguese, Finnish, Italian, Norwegian, Swedish, Spanish, Greek, Russian, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian, Ukraine, Turkish, Arabic, Thai, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, and Japanese.
 
or just buy two Nikon D5300's...

That said, I'd imagine Canon's next T9i or, whatever it's going to be called, will probably have most of these stats... only with the mediocre VF, and more pedestrian burstrate/AF. Still not bad though, I suppose.
 
Wow canon, finally giving people what they want, kudos.

But classic canon, they can't put these video features into a cheaper package, a gh4 is cheaper than a 7d mk2 lets be honest here guys...

I mean, you know they will... now that Sony is ahead of the game, and Nikon has brought out the D750 and the fact that their D5300 is way cheaper than this as a crop DSLR, I'd imagine they will have to put out an entry level camera with 1080/60p soon to keep up.

The 'classic' part of this is that Canon wasted time with like 7 different T3i versions before they finally brought out a new sensor and even considered 1080/60p. Instead, they virtually allowed Sony and Nikon to catch back up, and in some ways surpass...

Yeah I mean Canon isn't too worried about the consumer HDDSLR market, this new 7D is also targeting a photo audience as well, it seems like a pretty legit crop photo camera (inb4 jamie says its not).

That being said, there are SO MANY canon fanboys out there that will use canon til the day they die because they own one $1k lens. The 5d/7d market is huge and these stubborn people will never use nikon or panasonic and Canon knows this.

Evan is right, lets all remember Canon & Nikon DSLR's are PHOTO CAMERAS first and foremost, the fact that we as photographers even have video in our cameras is a damn bonus IMO. Weren't Sony & Panasonic always ahead for video? So big surprise here nothing has changed...

Haha, it's funny, I read that release from a photo point of view and thought it was pretty cool, then went back and looked at it from a video point of view and was unimpressed. Looks like a pretty decent camera for someone like me though who shoots about 70% photo and 30% video, all with the same camera, hopefully the price drops fast

I mean, maybe in the camcorder market, Panasonic and Sony along with Canon have always been ahead, but we're talking about HDDSLR's and MILCs here... cameras that can take good video AND photo. It's only been recently where Sony released the A1, Olympus brought out the OMD, and being that cameras like the 7D and 5Dii were better or just about as good for video as the GH2/3, I'd say it was only the GH4 that really put Panasonic into a drivers seat in that regard.

My point is, for the longest time, Canon was absolutely murdering everyone, or at least doing just as well, became complacent, and now their competitors are arguably ahead in the photo/video unit department - at least when it comes to putting out solid products (to reiterate Evan's point - Canon Fanboys yadda yadda sales)

TL;DR?

Canon should have brought out 1080 p60 2 years ago and kicked pretty much everyone looking for a camera for action video and photo to their side of the aisle - but Nikon, Sony, and Panasonic all beat them to it.
 
well...a little late to the party, almost to the point where everyone else at the party decides to go downtown, but finally here nonetheless..

just a quick glance through the specs looks pretty decent...i didnt see the price though
 
One more thing I do have to say... 10fps is fucking awesome for this. Coupled with a 70-200 and that's a beast ass camera for sportz at under 2 grand...

I feel like that's the chief audience with this, the OG 7D was always really popular with sports photographers.

Have you used a gh2 or gh3?

I think pretty much everyone I know would disagree with you about this. The gh2 was awesome, not the most ideal setup and menu etc but it shot great video, better than a 7d. I just got a gh3 and its fucking amazing, the 7d/5d doesn't touch the gh3 IMO the only benefit is if you already own canon glass.

I wonder if the new 7d will actually resolve full 1080p though. Right now, on every camera is they make (maybe not the 5d mk3?) only resolves about 700-800 lines so 1080p24 was actually just 720p upscaled to 1080p. The gh2 and gh3 both resolve 1000 lines and have "true" 1080p and you can definitely tell the difference on a 1080p monitor.

I mean look at this

Obviously lighting and settings can make some difference, but the gh3 is the clear winner in that video.

Yes, I have used both.mostly the GH2, but I've shot some on the GH3 as well (and it's awesome). I was mostly alluding to the low light capabilities of the GH2 in comparison to the 60D/7D/5Dii (for whatever reason I felt it was worse, you might believe otherwise, and I'll trust your opinion there) Along with the mediocre battery life, the small native lens selection with fly-by-wire controls, and more difficulty finding affordable or decent rectilinear ultra wide angles always seemed to be an issue imo (granted things like the 14 f2.5 sorta render that point moot if you find this to be wide enough)

So yeah, the video quality is great, but by 'better' I meant the whole package as it exists for video - which is where the Canons held their own very much so. For anyone who's only interested in video quality, I'd probably recommend the GH series cameras if anything because that's what they're optimized for, and the smaller size is pretty fucking nice for toting around on longer shoots.
 
Could be a sweet photo cam for a lot of people. Especially paired with a 5d

BUT it all depends on the sensor IMO.

It needs to have WAY better IQ and ISO performance. The 7d mk i sucks in both departments.

So, the jury is still out for me. If they improved those things though, it is definitely something I may be interested in for in the future.

I disagree with this wide angle lens part, I'm using a nikon 11-16 and 11 is VERY WIDE, its equivalent to 13.25mm on a canon crop camera.

That being said, native lenses aren't a big deal for video IMO i loved using nikon lenses on my fs100, i use canon lenses at work with our fs700 etc I did like the 18-200 kit but definitely not necessary in my opinion.

As for low light... the 5dmk3 is really the only canon camera with good low light capabilities and believe me coming from an fs100 to gh3 is disappointing for low light, its really only a fraction of my shooting. With a fast lens, the gh3 is just fine really. But the 7d/t2i/60d are unusable past 1000 iso and we all know that, but the gh3 is similar to that.

In the end, your video package is all based on your preference but the gh3 is a better overall "video" camera.

What? an 11-16 is like 17ish-25ish on a Canon crop. It's a 22-32 on a GH#. that 5mm is a pretty decent difference to a lot of people.

I just really never liked the ergonomics of native m4/3 lenses for video. They're absolutely great for shooting on photos with an Olympus Pen, but I dislike them for use with video in comparison to vintage glass and more modern Nikon-D lenses with fully mechanical focus pulls. Personal preference of course, but my sentiments aren't isolated. Plenty of folks feel the same.

As for low light, when you are spending what you can with a GH3, can't you just spend a little more for a monster like the Sony A1, or other NEX cameras at this point?

Shit, for what it's worth, I still love the VG20/30 for video at that price.

Even though you thought I was mistaken by predicting 1080p/60fps, Canon came through. You are right about the price however, the GH4 offers much more for videographers for an overall better price.

11 on a gh3 is 22mm full frame, which is equivalent to 13.75 on a 1.6x crop (canon camera), 17mm on a 1.6x crop is equivalent to 27.3 on full frame.

And my gh3 was $650 so really spending an extra $1000+ isnt even worth it to me when I never shoot anything in low light really, even shooting urban isn't that bad as long as you light properly and hell I didn't even shoot one hand rail last year. i would like to this year but not worth spending more money/keeping my fs100.

do you live on the sun? How do you never have to shoot anything in low light? Do you just light up the room when you walk into it?

Well seeing as everything I shoot these days with my own personal equipment is outdoor action sports... yes it is usually sunny/light outside.

If you read my post, I didn't go out and shoot any handrails last year, which in the past was really the only time I shot in lowlight. If I was shooting in lowlight for freelance, i'd still have my fs100...
 
So does it shoot 1080p or "1080p" ?

13133735:SourSteezle said:

I never understood people's fascination with low light capabilities. I never had to shoot above 400 ISO unless I was shooting drunk bullshit in the woods at 4:00am. With the 7D the sensor noise turned to shit the moment I went up to 800 ISO, but on the GH2 I could crank it to 1600 before it started to look bad.

In summation, relying on low light is for journalists and pussies. Thank you.
 
For me, low light is kinda important I guess. I'm in low light situations 2/3 times - whether it's shooting at the indoor skatepark in town (which is poorly lit) or on surveillance shoots for work, I feel as though I'm always shooting at like 7am before the sun's fully up, or after 5pm when it's just about down. Low light with fast lenses that don't have heavy aberrations are absolutely key.

I mean god forbid you bring a couple lights ha I feel like the only excuse for true low light situations are weddings and documentary/run and gun.

Considering I'm doing surveillance video a lot? Haha, Yeah. it's like filming in a sewer at times.

As for lights.. kinda not a thing I can bring to this skatepark, unfortunately - it's city owned, and Sacramento has fucktard rules about video/photography. (You can film anywhere, but you need a permit if you're bring professional lighting into the situation)

Yeah I was speaking more generally I understand what you're saying.

I'm reality we should all be lighting everything because that's how you shoot something properly but like you just explained you can't always do that.

Yeah. Even so, there are plenty of people who will take low light into consideration because they plan to film weddings or run-gun docs/events. I know on here we're mostly doing skiing outdoors in the ultra bright snow and such, but still. It's worthy of note.

In my instance it's mostly for weddings and run and gun stuff at work. Also for anything there's a speaker on stage and there's no AV crew to light him, good low light capabilities is a must. I'm pretty impressed with the image quality from just about every camera nowadays, so I'm hoping for improvement with the noise in Canon dslr's specifically. the Sony A7 or whatever it is, just blows it out of the water
 
Why is anyone bitching about this? Pretty sure its cheaper than the original 7d was when it came out, has 10fps (sports monster, but I'm admittedly a fps whore), has 65 autofocus points, has the same button layout as a 5d mkiii so would be a killer second body. the video upgrade is a long time coming (almost ridiculously so) but thats a bonus. Like cydwhit said, someone who is 70% photo and 30% video, this would be a killer camera.

I don't think anyone's really bitching about this. I think we're mostly bitching that Canon took until now to bring out 1080p60. I mean, this camera and whatever T7i comes out that has the same video capabilities are going to make stuff like the 70D completely moot at this point.

Yeah, I'm wary to order one right away based on how poorly the og 7d performed but I'm sure this one will be good as far as APS-C cameras go. I love the fact that the button layout is the same as my 5d3 (the RATE button is a great invention).

Also lol video, this is clearly a sport photographer camera, if you're still riding the canon HDSLR train, you're going off the tracks.
 
chiming in for the gh4 > canon > nikon comment regarding DSLR's. I'll post some footage soon of some drone work my friends I have been doing. However the gh4 will be in our aresenal soon, all footage was on multiple 5dmkii's.

shot the stock photos and video that will be used on the newest Adobe Lightroom - they also bought the dji s1000.

here's the gear in studio
