More Tidbits About The EOS 7D Mark II Specifications (not same sensor as 70D, pro build quality, more on AF, €1800)

The glorious Canon EOS 7D

I got some new EOS 7D Mark II specifications (thanks) that contradict the specs I got previously.

These specs are largely identical with the spec list posted by CR, with a few differences. The source told me that:

• The EOS 7D Mark II sports a 20.2 MP sensor but it is not the same sensor as featured on the EOS 70D
• The AF has 65 points but only 32 are cross-type. Center point is dual cross. f/8 on center point
• The EOS 7D Mark II has a “pro build quality” (whatever this means in detail)
• Price in EU will be €1800 (that could mean something around $1,990 in the US)

Moreover, the source told me that the EOS 7D Mark II has already been presented to resellers.

This is the spec list posted at CR:

• Kit lenses: 18-135 IS STM and 15-85 IS (no STM)
