I'm a huge fan of the original canon eos 7d and eagerly awaited the 70 mark 2 so while the mark 2 is a great camera with significantly improved performance and a few new features important holes remain like an articulated LCD and Wi-Fi I'm Laurie renew for cnet and this is the canon eos 7d Mark to its designs extremely similar to that of the 70 with some subtle tweaks including dual card slots new features include reasonably flexible in-camera HDR which allows you to save the original images multiple exposure mode and interval shooting but the interval shooting isn't as powerful as competitors who've been offering the feature for years now Canon also added GPS for geo tagging geo logging though some people may have preferred an articulated display and Wi-Fi plus it gains USB 3 and a headphone jack like its predecessor it's a pretty fast camera the new 65 point focus system performs well and if you shoot action it's definitely worth an upgrade from the 70 for the focus if not the bump from eight frames per second to 10 frames per second for continuous shooting like other modern EOS models the mark 2 also has selectable sensitivity settings for the continuous autofocus video autofocus generally performs well too even with the non STM lenses the mark tues photos look great JPEGs look good up through iso 1600 and depending upon scene content and how large a plan to view them you can even get decent results as high as ISO 25600 that's in part because Kenyans jpg processing is excellent the video quality is extremely good with practically no rolling shutter artifacts more a or edge artifacts the mark tues great camera it's fast familiar and delivers excellent albeit not best-in-class photo and video quality I really enjoy shooting with it but if you like to shoot video and don't want to rig out the camera the lack of an articulated or even a tilting touchscreen display makes it frustrating I'm Lori grunion and this is the canon eos 7d Mark you
