Hello
only a trouble ...reading notice about the new 65 af cross point Canon 7d mark II:
are they very useful using manual setting with only central point for Af ?
The addition of more cross point sensors increases AF accuracy and speed for those points. But if you are only using the center point, then the others don't matter.
Go over and read Artie's blog http://www.birdsasart-blog.com/ he had a 7DII to test for a while, He addresses the 65 point auto selection that also includes iTR face detection something that apparently has been vastly improved since it's debut on the 1DX. He has put it tru the paces and shared plenty of images and said " It is a great camera, the best 1.6 crop body ever by miles…. artie"
