The 7D Mark II leaves no doubt about its rule of the Canon APS-C sensor lineup. With an advanced and extremely capable AF system, fast burst rate, Dual Pixel AF and customizable Movie Servo AF, the EOS 7D Mark II is going to find its way into a wide range of photographers’ kits where its use will be either as a primary camera or secondary to an EOS 5D Mark III or 6D. Its speed-oriented feature set is especially well-suited for wildlife and sports action photography.

While the Canon 7D MK II is receiving a lot of flak, it isn’t a bad camera at all and the image quality is still very capable despite the lower rankings in lab tests.

7D II will suit serious enthusiasts and professional photographers who can benefit from the smaller sensor format. These include sports and wildlife photographers who can benefit from the 1.6x crop factor extension in focal length, particularly when applied to telephoto lenses.

The sophisticated – and significantly improved – autofocusing system will appeal to these photographers, as will the improved weatherproofing of the camera body.

At the high price, it seems odd that the camera doesn't include built-in Wi-Fi or a touchscreen, both found on the cheaper 70D. In addition, some other cheaper cameras offer quicker continuous shooting, as well as a higher resolution sensor.

For those with an investment in Canon lenses, or for those that have a specific range of Canon lenses they would like to use, the Canon EOS 7D Mark II offers extremely fast focusing and continuous shooting. The camera has a professional quality weather sealed body, and should last a significant number of years, particularly if the previous 7D is anything to go by, as the 7D is still in use by a number of people today

Canon's EOS 7D Mark II becomes one of the toughest, fastest and most confident DSLRs for sports and action photography. If you always wanted the flagship 1Dx but couldn't afford it or accommodate the size and weight, the 7D Mark II will give you most of its handling performance in a smaller, lighter and much cheaper package.

Canon 7D Mark II vs 5D Mark III

In both our lab testing and real-world Shooter's Report, the Canon 7D Mark II performed very well. Image quality from the new 20.2MP sensor was very good, producing images with excellent detail, accurate colors and very good high ISO performance for an APS-C sensor. The 7D Mark II produced sharp JPEG images with very good detail, but with a good RAW converter, additional detail can often be extracted from the files. At higher ISOs, the 7D Mark II is not class-leading compared to other enthusiast and semi-pro APS-C DSLRs, but nonetheless very good and a noticeable improvement over the original 7D.
