Quick hands on preview of the Canon 7D Mark II from Photokina 2014.

This camera has been on peoples minds for years. The original 7D was a revolution for it's time, a small, powerful and quick cropped sensor DSLR.

With the passing of five years this camera has seen a substantial upgrade, but is it enough?

Right off the rip this camera feels great in the hands and has some top notch professional features. I am not going to run down all the specs because by now you already know everything about this camera.

I can tell you it's FAST, the 10 FPS in such a small and affordable body is something we have not seen ever. The auto focus is fast and covers the entire viewfinder. I will have to dive in deeper to the settings when I buy the body to see if you can tweak the focus as much as the pro bodies.

I did have a concern with the lack of a touch screen. Where the 70D has a touch screen for the dual pixel af, this camera does not. How are we supposed to easily change focus while filming video?

That's it for now until I buy the camera at Allens Camera.
