Graduation Arrived Early (first shots with 7D MK II)
Apr 4, 2015 10:04:52 #
I have owned several Canon APS-C cameras over time (20D, 30D, 40D, 50D and 7D), as well as the FF 5D MK II and 5D MK III. I knew that I would eventually upgrade to the 7D MK II, but I wanted to wait for a few months until the price came down somewhat. I was hoping to save at least 20% off the new camera price of $1799.00 which meant I was looking for a selling price around $1460.00. I purchase most my camera gear on Amazon.com, in "Used - Like New" condition. In this case, I chose a Refurbished camera and when I contacted the seller, found out that the camera was still new in the box, with zero actuations and a selling price of $1399.00. Wait over! I ordered it on a Monday afternoon and it was delivered to my doorstep on Thursday.
I took it out on its maiden voyage Friday and the following images are from the first photoshoot.

Enjoy the new toy, I envy you now (besides your photo/PP skills) I would really like to get an action body with improved AF over my 6D.
Very nice pics you got with the new camera.

Thanks for your comment Jerry. I suspect there are options out there for you with better focusing capabilities ...... just a matter of setting aside a little bit each month until you can afford to get a new body. If I had to be honest, I upgraded to the 7D MK II specifically for its focus capabilities ....... I prefer tack-sharp when I can get it.Enjoy the new toy, I envy you now (besides your photo/PP skills) I would really like to get an action body with improved AF over my 6D.
