Canon EOS 7D Mark II kit 18-200

Updated 20MP matrix. The difference with the older sister is only 2MP, but the noise has become less. Fast 7D autofocus has become instant in this model. It has a new predictive-automatic principle of operation, which is used in the top-end 1D X full-frame camera. The updated exposure meter now measures not only the intensity of visible light, but also takes into account the infrared part of the spectrum. This allows you to more accurately determine the exposure at dusk. You can make THREE separate custom modes. Profile customization, finally, hallelujah. It's pretty handy, I enjoy using it. Continuous shooting has been improved and now you can shoot at the declared speed of 10 fps. In fact, when shooting in jpeg + raw, the speed turned out to be about 8 fps. And those same 10 frames can only be obtained in jpeg. The included Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens is suitable for a variety of scenes and shooting conditions. Pretty versatile lens without pronounced flaws. The case is still large and mostly plastic. The plastic is of high quality and wear-resistant, textured where necessary. It has good dust and moisture resistance.

Canon has equipped this camera with its best APS-C sensor with a 1.6 crop factor. Photos taken with the EF-S 18-135mm IS STM lens have high detail, and noise at high ISO is minimal. There are a huge number of autofocus settings that have migrated here from expensive professional cameras. By choosing the right focus mode, it's almost impossible to miss a shot - the 65-point cross-type system won't let you down. For dynamic scenes, there's a special tracking mode called AI Servo. I was surprised to learn that the camera uses not only the autofocus module but also the metering sensor for focusing. The Japanese are resourceful, indeed! The metering itself is also very good.
The controls are classic, with one significant difference. There are extensive customization options for the joystick, selectors, both control wheels, and buttons on the body. You can almost completely reconfigure the camera controls to suit your preferences.
A comfortable, large, and bright viewfinder with overlaying service information. The built-in electronic level was very handy for me.
The camera cannot be called compact and lightweight, but it fits excellently in one hand. The "body" is made of durable and lightweight magnesium alloy. It has the necessary dust and moisture protection for reportage work. All areas where your palm and thumb rest have a pleasant-to-touch, non-slip rubber coating.
The built-in GPS does an excellent job of automatically geotagging photos.
