EOS 7D Mark II Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)

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!

Had it for about a week. As a father, I live at the ice rink, daughter figure skates, son plays hockey. The quality of the photos, when in focus, is truly amazing. I am still trying to workout the camera to proper settings with the AF options. I tried taking pictures with ISO200 and in between, up to ISO600, but since the ice rinks light conditions vary from one end to the other, it does not work uniformly. There is a AF Case 5 for "erratic subjects moving quickly in any direction", but I still did not get a chance to test it. It does not have the "running guy" mode dial like EOS50D. I put in Lexar Professional 1066x 64GB memory, it runs smoothly and very quick. I am going to test some RAW files this weekend. Video: I am new to DSLR video mode. When I am recording video, I can still take pictures, but there is a 1 or 2 second stall while the picture is processed. So you will notice when the picture is taken while recording. I watched the video taken using the 70-200mm IS USM II, it is wonderful, clear, crisp.. zooms in and out very smooth. I attempted to record using the generic 28-135mm IS lens that came with EOS50D, and it still came out very clear and crisp... the problem is that when I tried to manually zoom in and out, the lens feels cheap and does not rotate smoothly, it jerks alot, even goes out of focus... I truly blame it on the lens. Kills the joy of recording video when you have the shutter trying to continuously autofocus. I am in the market for a lens to complement my 70-200mm, what should I get? I want to stay in the 18 to 100 range, but need advice. Strongly appreciated.

First I'll say, the camera is AMAZING! I highly recommend it. It worked great for a few months, and then..... I purchased a Digital SLR Camera (EOS 7D Mark II) from Digital Village on Amazon. It was working fine for a few months then stopped powering on. I attempted to go through Canon Warranty (which is posted on the Amazon product's site when I made my purchase) for repair. Canon notified me that I couldn't use the warranty because the item was NOT INTENDED TO BE SOLD IN THE U.S.A!! The fact that this product was not covered under U.S.A. Canon warranty was not posted anywhere, nor was it posed that this equipment was not intended to be sold in the U.S.. On the contrary, the warranty that was displayed during purchase was a U.S. and Canada Warranty. What a headache I'm now dealing with having to try to get the device back from the Canon repair facility (who want to charge me $400 to repair it, contact the seller to get a full refund, and contact Amazon to let them know they have a re-seller performing bad business.!!

The customer service that David provided was fantastic! The product was shipped very quickly and came in a well protected package which is very nice to see. I would recommend his business 100% 10/10

Muy buen servicio, atentos y siempre estuvo en contacto y proporcionando infirmacion del envío

I finally moved from an 1100D to the 7D2. This was a birthday gift from my mother :) I bought the item from Cloudtail and opted for next day morning delivery. I got the package on time. Found the camera sealed and all accessories intact. Registering with Canon Edge for warranty was successful. I'm using the cam with the 400 5.6 prime. The results are awesome! Though I feel i will do much better once i get the hang of the autofocus system. The 10 fps is soo nice!! :D This is the first time I've bought such an expensive product online. i was very anxious but everything turned out for the best! One last thing i noticed. After opening the camera charge the battery fully put it in the camera. But if the camera does not turn on immediately don't worry. Leave it for a minute or two and it should work. When this happened with me I thought my camera was dead on arrival but all izz well!! :P

Lot of Camera for the money.Photographers who are graduating to Pro level gear need to consider this camera. I know that the 5D MK3 or the 6D dominate the low light scene, but 7D MKII is not so bad as they say. It has better metering and Autofocus than the full frames. With the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 Art lens, this camera is formidable. It will easily beat 5D MK3, 6D has better low light capabilities. If you are considering this camera, then its a no brainer - Take it!

Excelente cámara a un precio muy accesible, la entrega fue casi inmediata y con muy buena atención al cliente.
