One more raptor: Merlin at 700mm, ISO 800.

Anyone else mildly annoyed that Canon claims 1080p/60 but enabling it disables Servo AF during video? That would have been nice to know.

No worries TS... I'd call it user-post-error for moi... Hehehehe... Glad you like the content, though...



PS. Shall I put it in the Dropbox for you to play with? Let me know!!!

Sure, I expect that in this case, its better to leave the raw alone a bit and try to get photoshop to curve up the shadows, but am not for certain.

ruhikant wonderful shot.

+1 Great shot!

So despite my birding not going well here is the other part of the day. All at 12,800 and I did some B&W conversions. DPP did the NR on AUTO. There is still some shadow noise but it is crop sensor.

Anyone wonder about this beast clearing buffer should read this article.

That was me, Bianchi, during the Breeder's Cup sporting event I shot last week... So yesterday was the first time using the camera since the event... Fully charged and ready to shoot... I went to a local Botanical garden here in SoCal and shot 122 frames during a 3 hour period... The battery life indicator was still at full bars!!! So I'm chalking up the Breeder's Cup battery fiasco as a fluke in my part... Gonna try shooting again soon to gauge and see the 7D2's battery life longevity... I'll keep you and everyone posted!!! I'm hoping yours is also a fluke and that you get better results in your next photographic outing...

Currently have 1017 shots at 5% battery life left. I guess the stupid vertical grip is not going to get here in time for Aviation Nation for me this weekend. Oh well. I'll just bring a spare battery.

Copied the link. I was wondering about the card as well when I tried 10 FPS.

The number in the lower right of the viewfinder tells you about how many shots the camera thinks it is going to get before your buffer gets full.

Good to know. Must've been a one-time fluke or that "first time charge".

no b&w on this one

That looks like Rose Hills!

Good stuff, btw.

Butch how long did your's last after charging. As I said, all I did was try setting up my camera in about an hours span after battery fully charged, and wala, dead battery. Didn't shoot a single shot. Had to use one from another camera to finish my set up. Tried to charge the dead battery, but after being in charger overnight, it was still blinking yellow.

I now want to see how long the battery that I have been using in my other camera lasts in the new 7DII...because I know I get normal use from that battery. As I said earlier, it just might be a bad batch of batteries that shipped with the new 7DII..or it could very well be a problem with the Camera causing this. I guess time will tell. Others complained of the same issue, very short battery life.

If anyone had short life with there battery, and replaced it with one of there existing ones, did you have normal life from it fully charged while using it in the 7DII.. If so , that would rule out Camera causing the problem, and seem to point to just a battery issue.

Nice; yes, with a proper card installed, this thing is a monster at clearing the buffer. Especially for jpeg shooters; as near as I can tell, the buffer clears faster than it fills w/ jpegs.
