No dedicated AF-assist lamp (flash is used), and AF-assist adjustment is buried in the Flash Settings menu Kit lens (28-135mm) isn't quite up to the resolving power of the 18-megapixel sensor, odd focal length for subframe DSLR No continuous autofocus in Movie mode. ProsĮxcellent 18-megapixel sensor with impressively low noise and superb detail Very good high ISO performance, especially for 18-megapixel subframe sensor Rugged construction with magnesium body and weather sealing Fast autofocus and fast burst rate of 8 fps Full HD (1920x1080) movies at 30/25/24p, 60/50p at 1280x720. Not shying away from the megapixel race, the new Canon 7D has a brand new 18-megapixel APS-C sensor with a 1.6x crop factor. At £1,600 it’s one of the most expensive APS-C cameras on the market, but it’s also one of the best, and a great upgrade for existing 7D users.The Canon 7D is the digital SLR that many Canon fans have been waiting for, with a list of long-absent features that the lineup has needed to take on cameras like the Nikon D300. In all, Canon has made a very capable action camera for the enthusiast photographer. The addition of Canon’s Dual Pixel AF provides improved autofocus in video, too.

It’s great to see a professional-grade autofocusing system inside an enthusiast camera. The new 65-point autofocus system is fantastic, locking on and tracking subjects very quickly, even in challenging conditions. The new addition of the thumb lever coupled with the additional viewfinder information displays makes settings easy to change without even needing to take the eye from the camera. The body is solid, it feels good in the hand and the button placement makes sense. Where it truly excels is in its build, handling and autofocusing system. However, for the target audience of the wildlife and sports photographer, these features may not be a priority.

There is no touchscreen, no articulation of the LCD and no Wi-Fi connectivity, which is disappointing. My main gripes about the camera concern what’s been left out. However at low ISOs it can’t match the ability to recover shadow detail that we see from many of its competitors. The 20.2-million-pixel sensor gives improved image quality compared to the 7D, with better performance at high ISO settings, although we’d probably avoid using settings north of ISO 6400.

After a five-year wait, the Canon EOS 7D Mark II adds some class-leading specification to its already popular camera.
