* This article is created based on a trial model.

In this article, I will examine the power of this model by looking at the elemental technologies which underlie its advancement. However, the advancement made to the EOS 7D Mark II is so significant that it should be described as a leap of several steps. The evolution of a camera depends on the elemental technologies, with the number of functions increasing gradually with each step up the ladder. Considering that it adopts the Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology, which was first introduced on the EOS 70D, and the latest Dual DIGIC 6 image processor, it should be easy to imagine how powerful this camera is. However, the EOS 7D Mark II is considerably different from its predecessor, and in fact closer to the EOS-1D X in terms of functionality. Because of its resemblance in appearance to the EOS 7D, many may think that only superficial changes have been made. Its ease of use is probably the best among the EOS models. New features have been added to the operational and display parts of the EOS 7D Mark II. Meanwhile, the newly-developed 65 cross-type AF points far outnumber those of the EOS-1D X, but the body remains as small as the EOS 7D, maintaining its tradition of emphasising mobility. The maximum continuous shooting speed of 10 frames per second is comparable to that of the EOS-1D X and equivalent to that of the EOS-1D Mark IV, which was the best in its days. Scheduled for launch in September, 2014, the EOS 7D Mark II inherits the tradition of the EOS 7D, while it is being positioned as the flagship APS-C model that is extremely close to the EOS-1D X, with further advancements made to its performance for capturing moving objects. In the meantime, the EOS-1D X and the EOS 5D Mark III have appeared with numerous advanced functions while the EOS 7D kept its silence.

Yet, there has been no mechanical modification except for the addition of the lock mechanism for the Mode Dial, which is handled at Canon's service centres. With the release of the firmware version 2.0.0 in 2012, we saw a great leap in the EOS 7D, changing it almost beyond recognition.

It has been five long years since the launch of the series' first model, the EOS 7D. Shedding its veil of mystery, the EOS 7D Mark II has finally made its appearance.
