Yessir. Pre-ordered it Monday morning when my daughter woke me up at 4am and while I was holding her to go back to sleep.

My 7D's a little long in the tooth (still going to keep it for the office work, but I think the shutter needs more lube or something). I occasionally get Err 80 codes thrown at me. I'll send it back to the mothership soon for eval.

For some, not enough of a sensor upgrade = downgrade.

But the question is... 7D Classic or 7D MK II for a new purchase?

Lenses planned to be used with either is a 24-140, 70-200 F4 IS, 10-22 or some other UWA.

i think the only reason to choose the 7DI over the 7DII would be cost. In every other area the 7DII is better.

Price. You'd save somewhere between $1,000 to $1,400 by going with the original 7D. And as DPReview stated, the sensor technology hasn't advanced much at all in the 5 years since the original 7D.

I don't put much weight at all in these photos.

I plan to do my own 7D, 7D2, 5D3, 1Dx photo comparisons (when I find time) and then I'll know where the 7D2 stands. Doubtful I can coordinate the time to do this but I have a friend with the A6000 and if the planets align, I might be able to compare some action/servo situations and see.

Unfortunately pics are thin on the ground. I waited a long time for this camera ( I recently bought an X Pro1 to carry everywhere ) and I don't normally pore over new camera releases, but don't manufacturers state the JPEG/RAW improvements over a previous model ? ? ? The Fuji really opened my eyes to what a crop can do in the IQ dept.

EDIT.
Would live to see a sensor to sensor shoutout with these model Julian

Worry not, I'll definitely do a shootout between the cameras I have. Too bad I don't have a 70D to compare with (as it would be the best "direct comparison" to test out the two 20.2mp sensors against one another).

I shoot in RAW so I don't rely upon the built-in JPG engines for noise reduction. It'll just be a matter of when LR 5 will be updated to open and process 7D2 RAW files, but Adobe's generally really good about releasing updates on time.

I gave in and pre ordered one of these babies. Now the long wait.

If sensor technology was your primary concern wouldn't you be buying a Sony a7R with the metabones adaptor and not a 7D2?
This is not exactly a camera that's geared towards landscape shooters... And most other types of photography are not as demanding on the sensor. Right tool for the job mate, this is a kickarse sports camera.

Sadly, we have been mocked by a moderator, changing the thread title. Some of us have already submitted the pre-order. If the camera was shipping, a few of us would have gotten ours by now!

Many of the lens-specific and body-specific threads started out the same way, yet some moderator felt fit to see things different. Lame...

I was wondering about the title change. Sad it was done without consultation? Where I mod we treat that as a major faux pas.

Hey, I'm proud to be a wannabe. I pre-ordered this afternoon. My 7d is still going strong after 5 years, but the new version is calling out to me. I've kind of slowed down with photography lately except for personal family shots, so figure a new camera might enliven my interest. Here's looking at early December!
