7D II Reviews and Comments from those who now own it

[HDNitehawk]

I took my 15 year old daughter deer hunting yesterday, it rained all morning and I got an opportunity to shoot feeding turkey hens.

I came away with a few observations;
1, No problem encountered with the weather sealing.
2, I had read on other forums about the 7D II hunting for focus in live view or movie mode when used with a 500mm and a 1.4x extender. Indeed it does to the point I had to go manual. (It worked fine without the 1.4x.
3, Turkey's have small heads, using the lens button selection that is supposed to make the center point smaller had no effect. I need to go back and read the manual to make sure this setting indeed is supposed to do that, however on the 1D IV it does.
4, When using off center points to focus on the turkey's head the 7D II had a harder time getting critical focus than the 1D IV would have.

i haven't had the chance to compare BIF, but it wouldn't matter for the 1D IV comparison as the 1D IV works great.
I can say that from my perspective the 1D IV has the superior AF system. (Still debating on IQ)

None of this is a bash on the 7D II, so far it's been a great camera.
edit: I realized that the movie mode comparison may be misleading, the 7D II is the better video camera.
