Canon’s 7D Line Has Come to an End: Report

As Canon turns its attention to growing its mirrorless camera market share, the company is reportedly sunsetting some of its popular DSLR lines such as the high-megapixel 5DS and 5DS R. And the latest word is that the popular 7D line has also come to an abrupt end.

Canon Reveals Two New L Lenses and an Interesting SD Card WiFi Adapter

The 5D Mark IV might be the big release of the day, but it's certainly not the only news from Canon this Thursday.

Wildlife Photographer Adam Jones Takes Canon’s 7D Mark II Into the Wild for a Real World Review

When cameras get put through a review, it’s often done at a pixel-peeping level in a studio, where the lighting is consistent across the board and variables are few and far between. This is NOT one of those reviews.

When it came time to review Canon's new APS-C flagship, the 7D Mark II, DPReview reached out to professional wildlife photographer Adam Jones and asked him to take the camera out into the wild... literally.

Diving Into the Numbers: Is the Canon 7D Mark II as Bad as DxOMark Says it Is?

After much anticipation and positive initial reports about the new Canon 7D Mark II, DxOMark's review of the camera's sensor was met with some shock. According to their tests, the Mark II's sensor was on par with the 5-year-old Nikon D300s, and even fell behind smaller Micro Four Thirds sensors -- not good.

But was this assessment fair? Photographer and educator Tony Northrup -- who praised the 7D Mark II in his rapid review -- wanted to find out. And so he created this in-depth video to dive into DxO's numbers, make some side-by-side comparisons, and see if the 7D really is as disappointing as DxO seemed to report.

Cracking Open the 7D Mark II, The Most Thoroughly Weather Sealed Camera I’ve Ever Seen

OK, I have to admit I really like the 7D Mark II. I didn’t want to because it wasn’t what I wanted. I wanted to see the new Canon chip foundry that would be cranking out high-resolution sensors. But despite wanting to hate the 22-megapixel APS-C camera, after a fairly short exposure to the autofocus system, I have to admit I like it. There’s just something about getting every shot in focus every time that’s appealing to me.
