-= 7D2 owners unite! Discuss and post photos!

Lots of fantastic shots posted here lately! Between the weather and my schedule, I haven't been out much but both the weather and my schedule have moderated a bit.

This is a shot from yesterday with my old 100-400L ver. 1 + the 1.4x. The 100-400 was never much of a performer on the 7DI. Does a bit better on the 7DII I think!

Nice feather action !

I'm really liking the 7D2 for aerial shots. It has enough ISO to get a decent image even on cloudy days. The image below is one of the many farming towns in Nebraska, USA.

What a beautiful photo.

Great shot Dave!

Was this 1.4x the Canon one or Kenko? The photo is spectacular.

The Canon 1.4x III

And thank you for the kind words!

Who doesn't like a family photo?

Some of the best shots I've seen with this camera.

Thanks Paul! The family photo is with the 500mm + 1.4x. I went back to the location yesterday with the big guns after stumbling upon the nest the day before when I was toting the 100-400.

nice stuff guys... keep em coming....


Dave - can i make a silly request? my 7dm2 is en route !!!!!! I wasnt able to score enough of my bonus for the 70-200... do you have a 55-250? i know such a non liked lens... if you do could you take some to see what kind of quality you are getting? guy I work with says my lenses will wake up with this body vs my t2i (but he said maybe not for this lens.. hah)

Photo Hunter and quite a few others consistently put up great shots.

Beautiful family capture PhotoHunter. I love the chick!!!

I had problems with my 70-300 the images at 300 looked soft all over so i tried the mfa. and they seem to be a lot better what do you guys think my p/s is not the greatest.

This is kind of a ho-hum shot/subject, but I literally just pulled my 7D2 out of the box, stuck the 70-200 2.8IS on it, and walked over to the highway to test out AI Servo. I shot several moving vehicles without any special care; I just wanted to see what would happen. This happens to be the last frame of a 10-shot high speed burst, but every single one of them was in focus. The bus was keeping up with traffic, so it was likely doing about 70 MPH at the time. I think it's acceptably sharp for a hand-held shot; no in-camera or post sharpening added; no NR.

I haven't really gone out to take images purposefully yet; my first hundred or so frames were intended to get a sense of how well the camera was working and tweak any settings. I did some BIF with zone AF, a few static shots of the eagles nesting near our house using single point, a sunset, stuff like that. I got about 2-3 OOF images, which were clearly my fault - I was testing how quickly the AF would auto-switch the focus point so I could optimize the AF case. Every shot I took intentionally was in focus.

I guess I won the lottery - I didn't get one of the 'thousands' of defective bodies being lamented in the other forums. Can't wait to put this beauty to use.
