Along with this comes a shutter rated to survive 200,000 cycles. The camera's continuous shooting rate jumps to 10 frames per second - something that was limited to pro-grade sports cameras until relatively recently. In this scenario, the camera automatically uses whichever AF point is necessary to maintain focus on the initially selected subject. This means that with iTR engaged and an initial focus point selected, you can initiate focus with a half-depress of the shutter button and then allow the camera to track the subject as it moves across the frame. This works in conjunction with information from a 150,000-pixel RGB + IR metering sensor to offer the latest version of the 'Intelligent Tracking and Recognition' (iTR) focus system from the EOS-1D X. Shutter rated to 200,000 cycles (vs 150,000 on 7D)įor stills photographers, the EOS 7D Mark II offers an all cross-type, 65-point AF module.Compact Flash (UDMA) and SD (UHS-I) slots.10 fps continuous shooting with autofocus.The long-awaited EOS 7D Mark II takes the strengths of its predecessor - highly capable autofocus and video - and builds on every aspect of them. While Nikon appears to be encouraging its high-end users across to full frame, Canon's range continues to offer a range of options. Not simply in the sense that its technology has been superseded, but also in that the idea of a pro-grade APS-C DSLR seemed to one whose time had passed.Ĭanon clearly doesn't think this is the case and, just as it did with the original 7D, has applied truly pro-grade autofocus to one of its best-built bodies. In the five years since its launch, the Canon EOS 7D has gone from being a cutting-edge piece of technology to an apparent remnant of a bygone age.
