Numerous function buttons on the back (left of the LCD screen) and on the top help users change parameters very quickly and intuitively. While it has a large body, a big grip on the right hand side makes handling very comfortable. For example, users can define groups of 9 or 21 AF areas move theses areas within the frame select a single AF sensor for very discrete focusing and even define AF for use in portrait or landscape shooting orientation. Using the AF-sensor configuration button on the back (which will be very familiar to all Canon DSLR users), photographers can choose numerous AF configurations with the “M-Fn” button on the top and the setup-dial (joystick) on the back of the camera. Compared to previous Canon midrange DSLRs, the AF sensors of the Mark II cover a very large area of the image and allow for very precise focus control. The 7D Mark II offers a new AF system with 65 AF sensors, all of which are “cross type” sensors. Perhaps the most important difference between the two 7D versions concerns the AF system. It offers a slightly higher sensor resolution of 20MP (7D: 18MP), but uses a completely new sensor design. Rather than being a simple update of the 7D, the 7D Mark II is a newly designed system based on an APS-C sized sensor. The Canon EOS 7D Mark II ($1,799, body only) follows the legacy 7D, which was debuted way back in 2009.
