EOS 7D Mark II Professional

We had a look at the new Canon EOS 7D Mark II at Photokina 2014. The EOS 7D Mark II features Dual DIGIC 6 Image Processors for superb image quality and rapid burst shooting of up to 10 frames per second. It also features Canon's first 65 point all cross-type autofocus system for fast accurate focus, and the camera certainly felt rapid in use. The camera is dust and weather resistant, and has an ISO range of ISO100 - ISO16000 (native), which extends to ISO51200 (Hi2). Focus works from -3EV to 18EV. The EOS 7D Mark II is set to be available in November 2014 for an estimated retail price of £1599.99 for the body only.

The camera features a USB 3.0 socket for quicker transfer of images from the camera to your computer. The camera has a battery life of 670 shots, which can be extended with the optional battery grip, and the camera will display the remaining battery life as a percentage. There is a new flicker detection feature that can be activated, and will reduce the effects of lights flickering when shooting continuously.
