Last month, long-time Nikon shooter Jeremy Gray dove in to give the Canon 7D Mark II a spin, and now he's back with the second installment of his Canon 7D Mark II Shooter's Report. On the first pass he covered handling and ergonomics as well as his thoughts on the general shooting experience with the new Canon flagship APS-C camera, this time around he's going more in-depth with the camera's capabilities and performance.
In this second and final installment, he explores shooting in various metering modes, including fully automatic scene modes and HDR modes. He also examines the speed and the AF performance of the 7D Mark II, especially when paired with the new 400mm f/4 DO II for some wildlife shooting including birds in flight. Lastly, he tests out the high ISO chops, video recording, as well as the new built-in GPS.
Head on over to Jeremy's Canon 7D Mark II Shooter's Report Part II for all the details, results and sample images as well as his final thoughts on his shooting experience with the new Canon 7D Mark II.
