Canon 7D MKII and Lightroom Ver. 5.7

I'm considering getting a Canon 7D MKII body. I currently use Lightroom version 5.7. Will this version of Lightroom recognize files from the 7D2? Thanks.

Yes, according to Adobe web site.

Here is the story from Adobe
Cameras supported by Camera Raw

I use PS CS6 and yes, Adobe Bridge recognizes my 7D MK II without incident.

Yes, it works just fine w/ the 7DII

Thanks all for the replies. Going forward if I didn't have the latest version of Lightroom could I copy the raw files into Lightroom as DNG files? I went to the Adobe training site and they explained the benefit of dng files but didn't clarify if you still need the latest Lightroom version to coincide with the camera to properly convert to dng.

Once you convert to DNG, any version should be able to open your raws. You may want to check this out:

Thanks for the thread. I have such a smooth workflow now (insert card, Lightroom open automatically, sees photos, I click import, all done). I tried the "copy to DNG" tab at top of page and it works fine with my present camera that Lightroom recognizes. So going forward if I can't get your program to work I simply convert to DNG first then manually open Lightroom and import. Sort of like going to Canon's DPP program, batch converting to TIFF files and then importing to Lightroom. I tried that a while back but the 16 bit TIFF's were huge compared to raw files. The DNG files are a bit smaller than the raw so every little bit helps. Again, thanks for the help.

One warning on Adobe's DNG converter, you must ensure that you convert to the correct Process Version and/or LR/ACR version to match you software. This is probably not such an issue if you are only going back one generatiion of software, but if you are using older versions especially CS2 which Adobe have mmade a free download, you will need to check you are exporting to the correct flavour of DNG.

Something else also to be aware of is that some software that supports DNG, only does so when the DNG was created in a camera. They won't work with files that were converted to DNG by some other piece of software. So I would very strongly reccomend keeping the original CR2 files backed up propperly in at least two places, just like you would the files you are working on.

Thanks for that, Alan. I was unaware.
