The 7D Mark II has a new 20.2MP APS-C sensor and a much wider ISO range than its predecessor, going all the way up to ISO 51,200 in its extended mode. Thanks to the thoughtfully laid-out, plentiful controls, the huge, bright optical viewfinder, and nice touches like the locking mode dial and monochrome top-plate LCD (all of which are carried over from the 7D), the 7D Mark II feels like a DSLR that’ll won’t let down pros or enthusiastic amateurs on the design or construction front. The magnesium alloy body is reassuringly sturdy and weighty in your hands, and weather-sealing on the ports and buttons means you can use the 7D Mark II on a rainy or snowy day without fearing for its innards. The original 7D was a well-designed and very well-built camera, and that’s happily been carried over to its successor. None of these changes could be described as earth-shattering, but all are welcome. The rear LCD has been given a small quality bump to improve clarity and detail. Flip up the side flap and you’ll find a USB 3.0 port for faster image and video transfer (images are still stored on SD and/or CompactFlash card). The 7D Mark II looks a lot like the original version, but there are a number of minor changes to the design: control-wise, there’s a new thumb-controlled dial slider on the back that can be customised to tweak manual shooting criteria, as well as a new Q Menu button on the right of the rear LCD.
