An open letter to the Canon 7d mark ii

Best of both worlds would be nice, and one day just maybe. Lotto.

Lol.. I hear that. At the moment I'm trying to put a few bucks away in the hopes of being able to upgrade to a full frame sometime in the not so distant future. Something like a D750 is out of my price range, but with a little time I can probably put together enough to get a used D610.

I'll keep my 7100 though, I like having an APS-C on hand and it was always really nice having two cameras.

Do not rent the Mark III. Just don't.

Actually my friend has the Mark III.... and yeah I like it but I prefer the reach of the crop sensor and the 10fps for the wildlife I "try" to capture. But yeah.... its majorly sweet. Now, if I could just sell enough Jamberry, I might be able to buy my camera!

That is an awfully tempting deal.

I just hope it sells really well, that will most likely push Nikon into coming out with something to compete against it in that marketspace.

I also wish Nikon would come out with something like this, come on, this camera is sporting more focus points which are all cross type, 10 FPS, and higher ISO then my Nikon D7100, Nikon hasn't even made a APS-C camera that is like this since the Nikon D300S, which makes me sad, the only thing that is this calibre is the expensive D4 series cameras.

I'm kind of hoping they won't, at least not soon at that price point. I'm putting money away saving to upgrade to a D610 at some point, and if they come out with something like that then I'll have to decide if I need to go full frame, or if I need the 10 FPS APC.. lol

True, however, I'd take 10 FPS on an APS-C over a low end of FX DSLR any day of the week, not to mention for my kind of shooting, APS-C works better.

For me that's a much bigger toss up I guess. I do shoot outdoors quite a bit and it would be great to have 10 FPS with a good sized buffer for some of the wildlife shots I take, however I also shoot indoors a bit in situations where a flash is not an option, so boy it would be fantastic to have a full frame sensor too. At the moment though I don't have to agonize over that choice.. lol
