Canon EOS 7D Mark II kit 24-105

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.

In this camera, Canon installed its best APS-C sensor with a crop factor of 1.6. Shots with the EF-S 18-135mm IS STM are highly detailed, and noise at high ISOs is minimal. There are a huge number of autofocus settings that have migrated here from expensive professional cameras. Having correctly chosen the focus mode, it is almost impossible to miss - the 65-point cross-type system will not allow. And for dynamic scenes, there is a special tracking mode for the subject of shooting, called AI Servo. I was surprised to learn that for focusing the camera uses not only an autofocus module, but also a metering matrix. The Japanese are resourceful, yes)))) The metering itself is also very good.
Management is classic, with one significant difference. There are ample opportunities for customizing the joystick, selectors, both control wheels and buttons on the body. In fact, camera control can be almost completely reconfigured for yourself.
Convenient, large and bright viewfinder with service information overlay. The built-in electronic level was very useful to me.
The camera can not be called compact and light, but even in one hand it sits perfectly. "Carcass" is made of durable and lightweight magnesium alloy. There is dust and water protection necessary for reportage work. All places that touch the palm and under the thumb have a pleasant to the touch and non-slip rubber coating.
The built-in GPS does an excellent job of automatically geotagging images.
