I got it mainly for the crop factor effect (1.6) giving me extra reach etc, but to be honest I never really hit it off with the 7d2.
Its one of those things, I loved the frame rate thought it would be a good camera to take on holiday, but try as I might I just didnt get on with it.
I have seen people using this body and they get beautiful pin sharp shots, but me nah maybe one keeper here and there so I stopped using it.
Then I saw an add for a Canon 5DSR and thought at that price its a no brainer, so I chopped the 7d2 in (whoever buys that will get a great camera) put a bit of cash too it and bought a 5DSR.
I know 2 guys who use this body and get incredible results from its massive 50Mp sensor.
My first trip out with it yielded a couple of reasonable shots:
The detail on the shot of this Mute Swan is right on the money

and zoom in its worth it to see all the droplets of water and the feather detail.
Next up is a Grey Heron coming in to land, nothing special but it was quite a distance away and the level of detail after a heavy crop is pretty good.

Finally everyones favourite
5DSR 1/125 f11 iso640 700mm
All the above shots can be found on my flikr feed here:
I am looking forward to getting out with this new camera in the near future to give it a work out.
