I have been playing with a 7D II for nearly two weeks now and have been so thrilled and busy that I have been remiss about posting. To make up for that I just posted 20 7D II images in the Gear Forum. You can see them here (http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php/123915-Twenty-Canon-EOS-7D-Mark-II-Images?p=1027016#post1027016). There are links to numerous 7D II blog posts. Simply put it is a great camera for bird photography: the best-ever AF system, beautiful, high quality image files, and very good to excellent control of high ISO noise. You can learn a ton more on the blog at www.BIRDSASART-Blog.com (http://www.BIRDSASART-Blog.com). I have a streak of 330 straight days with a new, educational blog post. All free, and all with our legendary BAA educational captions.
This image was created at 8:32 am on the morning of 11 October, on the Fort DrSeSoto IPT with the hand heldCanon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/732108-USA/Canon_4411B002_EF_300mm_f_2_8L_IS.html/BI/6633/KBID/7226/kw/CA30028LIS2/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xCA30028LIS2) and a beta version of the Canon EOS 7D Mark II (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1081808-REG/canon_9128b002_eos_7d_mark_ii.html/BI/6633/KBID/7226/kw/CAE7D2/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xCAE7D2). ISO 400. Evaluative metering -1/3 stop as originally framed: 1/2000 sec. at f8 in Manual mode.
65-point Automatic Selection/AI Servo/Rear Focus AF activated two slightly off-centered sensors as seen in the DPP screen capture below. AF was of course actively tracking the subject at the moment of exposure.
