While this discount code offer is running,
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/202465

Dick Dick also running an online Exclusive Offer ends today! For 7D Mark2 for $2,073.31 with the code bring it down to $1,963.31 click and collect. I personally have not seen DSE do this before. Its always either full price plus code or around 2.1K but no code to use on the day.

For those who need a camera for sports and birding. This Camera is amazing at focus tracking and its unmatchable unless you go to something like Canon 1DX or Nikon D4S. You can YouTube all the test others did. On top of that coming from someone who hate canon and don't even like heavy DSLR, AKA me should bare some credit :)

Previously only CameraPro can do it under 2K @ $1998. Other shops do "SO CALL" 10% discount but jack their price up before did not reach this price level too.

I know $35 is not a lot but with our dollar looks to tank further. I am not sure if you can even get it at this price few months down the line…..its you call!

    2K for a crop sensor? You can get a full frame 6D or Nikon D610 for that.

      Not a fair comparison. 7D2 has 65 cross focus AF points to 6D's 1. 10fps compared to 4. 60fps video. Shoots up to 1/8,000th of a second and has 2 storage slots. 7D2 is a professional camera, 6D is for a home enthusiast who thinks a full frame sensor makes them a good photographer.

      Anyone wanting for sport, wildlife or video work would take the 7D2 over any of Canon's full frame cameras.

        "Anyone wanting for sport, wildlife or video work would take the 7D2 over any of Canon's full frame cameras."

        mozz- can I buy you a 7DII and swap with your 1DX? Since 'anyone' would take the 7D2 over 'any' canon FF camera.

        This is good deal, but this "6D is for a home enthusiast who thinks a full frame sensor makes them a good photographer." is ridiculous comment.

      Can you go to dpreview and YouTube to read up what this camera can do before you make comment like this?

      Sensor size is not everything. You can get a refab D610 from RYDA for 1.4K but I assure you it will not be as good as this when you shot sports and birds.

      Like I said in the title, I don't even like Canon and I was on the bashing team when it first came out. The more test you see and the more professional review you read. You will start to appreciate what it can do. As much as I don't like DSLR and Canon, this thing has some unique capability at this price point. The next best thing will cost you 6K body only.

      • [Deactivated] on 12/07/2015 - 13:49

        Buddy. Sensor size is not everything. But it's one of the most important thing in capturing light.

        I have seen my buddies creating the most beautiful picture with a cropped sensor as well full hd video work. Yes, the original 7D. The physical limitation of an APS-C compared to a FF will never change. The most obvious is the DOF and low light noise.

        Yes. 65 points AF is good. But realistically speaking, most enthusiast grade camera is reasonable (be it Canon, Nikon) has a decent AF system. In fact, I do not know many people who overly relies on AF.

        And the next best body does not cost 6k. Do not insult the 5Diii. Would appreciate if you have done some real hands on comparison before purely based on online reviews. Each photographer is to his/her own and select the gears based on their style and preference.

        True, for sports and birds 7DMii has all the better features. 6D is better for landscape photography and high ISO shooting, and also produce better bokeh. Each to their own.

        • syousef on 12/07/2015 - 19:13

          High ISO, yep. Landscape, not so much. Even shooting ultra-wide there are lenses starting at 8mm that will do the job. IQ at base ISO is indistinguistable….and since you want as much DoF as possible in landscape even that advantage isn't there.

        • cheapo999 on 13/07/2015 - 15:00

          @syousef: With landscapes, we usually try to get as much of a scene into the viewfinder as possible. So the larger sensor size allows you to capture more of your surroundings with the same lens as there is more room for your image to be exposed on. That's why most serious landscape works are still using medium-format camera.

        • syousef on 13/07/2015 - 17:45

          @cheapo999:

          Medium format has some other serious advantages. Real megapixels with real resolving power (at great expense though). The difference between a crop sensor and full frame DSLR is not so great. The gap is closing though. Some of the latest Canon bodies being 50MP it'll be interesting to see if DSLR or mirrorless eventually kills off larger format.

          I wouldn't hesitate to shoot a landscape with a crop sensor.

      I agree. $2k for an enthusiast crop sensor body only is not really a deal.

  • ShinyDiamond on 12/07/2015 - 14:42

    These chunkier crop sensor dslr are HISTORY now. Sony A7 ii mirrorless, full frame, 5 axis stabilisation, for same price is far better choice.

    • syswong on 12/07/2015 - 15:01

      The only A7 that can get close to this focusing system is the new A7rii which is double the price of this. I still doubt A7R2 will be as good in focus tracking and FPS. It's a totally different market.

      • kevitkotw on 12/07/2015 - 18:27

        Yeah I'm pretty confident that the A7R2 will be amazing, and probably as good or better than older tech with regard to focusing speed and tracking. That's why its $4500+

        As to the 'chunky crops are history now' I disagree for 2 reasons:

        It doesn't matter if the body is larger if you are using anything more than a 50mm 1.8… A proper 70-200 f2.8 will still be the majority of the weight, so a few hundred grams savings are negligible. Relative to sensor size, whether you have mirrorless or DSLR, the glass needs to be the same size.

        A DSLR setup with good glass is still better bang for buck than mirrorless. A7R2 is the only mirrorless that should stack up against good autofocusing performace that you get with a decent dslr, be it a 7D2 or D7100 (which is my camera). $750 for the record, and is amongst the best performing autofocus you can buy. If you want to take pictures of your children, invest in 'better than you think you need' autofocus. I would choose autofocus performance over practically everything if you want to photograph your kids, or anything that moves for that matter.

        If you are getting into photography, autofocus performance will probably be something you won't appreciate the value of until you realise that you don't have it. 7D2 is a good camera, pricey but good. But I'm a Nikon fanboy and am thoroughly convinced that the bang for buck is to be had with Nikons rather than Canons.

        • dreamzz on 12/07/2015 - 19:46

          7d and sony a6000 are the best caneras for kids photography, dont have any experience with nikon

        • kevitkotw on 13/07/2015 - 10:04

          @heloanand:

          I wouldn't consider the A6000 to be similar to 7D2, although it is a fine camera, 7D2 is in another league. Nikon D7200 is Nikon's comparable model to the 7D2. About half the price, similar autofocus speed and tracking, better picture quality. What the D7200 lacks is the burst speed of the Canon, and that's what you pay for.

          All the internet controversy about the A6000 having amazing autofocus seems to have stemmed from Sony paying people to review their gear. sure it is good for a mirrorless, but it is not in DSLR territory when talking about the flagship crop sensor cameras.

  • DaiShan on 12/07/2015 - 18:21

    Hi camera pros. I'm thinking of upgrading my 6 year old 1000d and have been angling towards the 70D. Is this a good purchase at circa $1k, or should I splash a bit extra for, say, 5Diii or 7Dii or 6D. Any help is appreciated cheers!

    • cheapo999 on 12/07/2015 - 18:45

      First make up your mind on sensor size first: 1", 4/3, APS or Full-frame.

      • DaiShan on 12/07/2015 - 18:51

        Okay, looks like I got a lotta googling to do. thanks man, will read up.

    • syswong on 12/07/2015 - 19:15

      Unless you have many canon lens, I suggest you look at options from Nikon and Sony. D5500 and A6000 both very good option for under 1K.

      7D MK2 is a special tool for a special purpose, unless you are into briding or sports, you won't need it.

      • DaiShan on 13/07/2015 - 08:36

        Good point, thanks. Did some googling and realised the specific feature set probably would've been lost on me.

    • [Deactivated] on 12/07/2015 - 21:43

      70D. And then upgrade again in 6 months. When one has reached the "limit" of his/her gear. They will learn what the new gear can bring into capturing lights.

      My journey. 500d, 50d, 7di, 5dii, 5diii.

      Gone through a range of lenses and various makes. Ended up with a basic kit 24-70l and 70-200l before selling them. Enjoyed the joy of ultra wide and fish eyes. Also once had a 500mm bigma. But yes. 24-70l is the ultimate call.

          @googleyahoo69: Yes, and Sigma Art 35mm as well, waiting for the 85mm, currently using Canon 1.8

      • DaiShan on 13/07/2015 - 08:36

        Upgrade journey is good advice, although I don't think I have the cash for a 6month cycle haha. I have a sigma 2.8 18-55 and a 50mm 1.8 prime. Not sure which lens to pick from here but I'm always eager to go a step further. I'm thinking a wider aperture prime and/or the 24-70L.

        • [Deactivated] on 13/07/2015 - 10:03

          24-70 is too narrow for a cropped sensor. Sad but true, majority of the good glasses are made to FF.

        • kevitkotw on 13/07/2015 - 10:13

          I have the 18-35 Sigma Art series. It is crop sensor only, I'm not going to full frame for a while. It is a truly stunning lens. I also carry a Nikon 50mm 1.8G, and a 70-200 2.8.

        • shoppingbag on 13/07/2015 - 10:46

          @googleyahoo69

          Even if the good lenses is made for FF, they can be used for crop sensor.

          Not to mention the sharpest section is closer to centre region. Perfectly suited for crop sensor as well as FF. Don't know why u consider it a sad situation… It a win/win situation imho.
