Canon EOS 7D Mark II vs EOS 5D Mark III vs EOS 6D Video

In this video by DigitalRev, Lok C compares the new Canon EOS 7D Mark II to the full-frame EOS 5D Mark III and EOS 6D. Want to know if the 7D Mark II is the right camera for you, or if you should better go for the EOS 5D3 or 6D? Find your answers in the video. DigitalRev’s Kai had a look on the 7D Mark II.

The AF-system of the (full-frame) EOS-1D X is the best you can get on an APS-C camera, you get 10fps, and an amazing high ISO performance. Read more about the EOS 7D Mark II’s excellent weather sealing, the highly advanced AF, and the industry leading high ISO performance (have a look here too).

Canon EOS 7D Mark II is a Game Changing Camera for Low Light & Long Exposure Photography

7d2_king

This is a very geek review/sensor analysis of the EOS 7D Mark II by Roger Clark of ClarkVision. He measured various figures of sensor noise, with an eye on long exposure settings and astrophotography. Well, it seems the 7D Mark II found another spot where it is a game changer.

The EOS 7D Mark II is a “stellar performer in low light situations, especially in the lowest light situations commonly found in astrophotography“. In the conclusion R. Clark writes:

The approximately 10x lower thermal dark current is a game changing factor, making this camera the top Canon camera for long exposure low light photography that I have tested. The superb autofocus system, comparable to Canon 1D series pro cameras with 65 autofocus points is another game changing innovation, as the camera is at a price point that is affordable to more people.

Thermal dark current influences noise because of electrons that collect in the sensor due to thermal processes, a phenomenon that occurs during long exposures. According to Clark’s measures, the 7D Mark II is the top performer when it comes to low thermal dark current. 10% lower than other Canon cameras. The EOS 6D is the next best low light camera in the Canon line-up.

Clark’s detailed examination of the 7D Mark II’s sensor properties is very technical and may not be anyone’s favourite read but it is definitely an insight into sensor analytics beyond DxOMark. Charts and test shots are provided.

The EOS 7D Mark II is on the way to become the industry leading APS-C DSLR. The AF-system of the EOS-1D X, 10fps, and amazing high ISO. Read more about the EOS 7D Mark II’s excellent weather sealing, the highly advanced AF, and the industry leading high ISO performance (have a look here too).

More Canon EOS 7D Mark II Thru-the-Viewfinder Action

JPEG burstshot – 7D mark2 + EF 16-35mm

Want to see how the EOS 7D Mark II 10fps burst rate sounds and how it looks thru the viewfinder? Here you are, thanks to Youtube user Daero Lee. The fast mirror movement is quite impressing when seen in the viewfinder.

Daero Lee’s first video showed the EOS 7D Mark II game-changing AF tracking through the viewfinder, at 10fps while shooting an amateur dance performance. A video that perfectly shows how advanced the 7D2’s autofocus is.

The last video below shows the 7D Mark II’s movie AF in Live View mode (Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology).

Canon EOS 7D Mark II Review (Photography Blog)

EOS 7D Mark II Review

Photography Blog posted their EOS 7D Mark II review. And it is another review that highlights the killer features of the 7D2: auto-focus, high ISO performance, speed.

From the conclusion:

The Canon EOS 7D Mark II is an excellent DSLR camera, with its APS-C sensor, cutting-edge auto-focusing system, fantastic viewfinder and outright speed making it a great fit for sports and wildlife, especially as it doesn’t cost the earth.

Featuring a near-identical control layout to the 5D Mark III, the EOS 7D Mark II makes the perfect partner to the 5D for the keen Canon shooter looking for an all-round kit. The new 65-point auto-focus system in particular is a big step forward, along with the excellent performance at higher ISOs, the fast 10fps continuous shooting, excellent metering system, impressive optical viewfinder with 100% coverage and a more refined movie making interface.

This is not the first review to point out how well the EOS 7D Mark II fits into a photography kit together with the EOS 5D Mark III. Having a very similar menu system and button layout, the EOS 7D Mark II complements with its full-frame sibling. It’s the extra reach (1.6 crop factor) and the advanced AF coming into play here.

Photography Blogs review comes with sample images, image quality analysis, and more. Be sure to check it out.

We had a lot of coverage of the EOS 7D Mark II here on Canon Watch. The EOS 7D Mark II is the industry leading DSLR in the APS-C world, the best possible APS-C camera for professional sport and action photographers, not to forget photojournalists. And it comes with the relatively affordable price of $1799 for the body only. You get the AF-system of the EOS-1D X, 10fps, and excellent high ISO. If you want to learn more about the 7D2 I recommend you read about the excellent weather sealing, the highly advanced AF, and the industry leading high ISO performance (have a look here too).

Photography Blog also posted a set of 26 sample images shot with the 7D2 (RAW format, original size).
