OFFICIAL: CANON EOS 7D Mark II - User Thread


Hi any 7DII user manage to setup the GPS function? i can only get direction but not the other info? Anyone here can help?


What do u meant can't get the other info?
I used it nice and the battery seems to drained pretty fast and I never use it again. It does shows the map location on my LR and Flickr.

doesn't show latitude elevation and other stuff and i can't seem to connect to the satellite for some reason.

I will only get 1 information which is the direction like EW 54 or something the rest are all dashes.

Many thanks bro, will try,
Hi Bro, in your flickr, you select the share option ( move ur mouse to the somewhere outside your bottom right of the picture you want to post, 4 options will appear, select the share option which is the arrow pointing to the right, select bbcode and copy the URL ), in clubsnap this thread you select insert image and select URL paste the bbcode u just copied earlier into the URL box & uncheck the option "Retrieve remote file and reference locally", preview post to see if that works.

Hope this helps.
 

Here's some of my photos. All not edited

I'm not a 7D user, but just sharing a video review of the 7D2:

thanks for the video :)

as expected, mostly good except for the image quality which I guess most of us are expecting. But nice to see that they think its 1 stop better then the 70D.

Very good video which sounds like what it is. I did mentioned previously that when I was shooting a person's face especially under low light or person who has darker skin tone,the camera sometimes just can't get the focus right on.

He has pretty much sums up how I felt about this camera in its pros and cons and indeed the minor cons are not a deal breaker considering how much the value of the camera is.

Turbonetics, can share how the ISO abilities are compared to 1D4. Based on 1600 and 3200, are the files cleaner than the 1D4, any loss in details?

7D2 is obviously cleaner but softer.
I try to find the files and post it tonight.
 

Roger N. Clark Complete Analysis of the Canon 7D MkII

Summary:
“The data shown here for the Canon 7D Mark II indicate that the camera is operating at near perfect levels for the sensor with lower apparent read noise and impressively low pattern noise compared to all other current Canon cameras tested and better than that in the 7D Mark I. This means that for high signals, noise is dominated by photon statistics. Sensitivity is improved 14% over the 7D Mark 1, and the sensitivity per square micron is the highest that I have measured for any Canon camera to date.


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.”


Final Comments:

I am very impressed with this camera, so much so, that it is now my preferred camera for night imaging except when I need wider angles, then I'll use my Canon 6D, the next best low light camera in the Canon lineup. I'll also use the 7D Mark II for all my action photography. That makes the 7D Mark II an amazing all-around camera, from sports and wildlife action to night photography.

In other words, the 7D2 is a kick-ass astrophotography and action camera. In all other aspects, I don't think it's as exciting. But this is understandable, since the 7D2 was meant to be an action camera. I'm surprised at the astrophotography aspect, since Canon didn't really market that.
