What is your “dream” camera body and lens combo for wildlife photography? Let us know in the comments below...

I own a 90D and love the flip screen. I have shot in the rain and it just keeps a ticking, no worries there. The camera works well shooting wild life, you just got to experiment with the menu. The winner for me the 90D

90D *Autofocus Adjustment Functions* are in the Custom Functions :) regarding 4:22 Custom Functions II: Autofocus. *Tracking Sensitivity* (C.Fn II-1): Related to the AI Servo AF mode; this setting controls how much the autofocus system reacts when an object other than your subject enters the focusing area or when your subject strays from the focusing points. Accel./Decel. Tracking (C.Fn II-2): This one is also related to AI Servo AF mode; the default setting is designed for subjects moving at a fixed speed. The other settings are geared to subjects that are moving erratically. AF Point Auto Switching (C.Fn II-3): This sets the AF point switching sensitivity when tracking moving objects. In other words, you can control how responsive the system is when it needs to switch AF points. AI Servo 1st Image Priority (C.Fn II-4): When you use one of the Continuous Drive modes and AI Servo AF mode, this setting determines whether the camera takes the first shot as soon as the shutter button is pressed, even if focus is not yet achieved. You can tell the camera to wait for focusing to occur (choose the Focus Priority setting) or to go ahead and take the shot (choose Release Priority). The default, Equal Priority, tries to achieve a balance between the two. AI Servo 2nd Image Priority (C.Fn II-5): This function controls what happens for shots taken after the first shot when you’re using Continuous shooting and AI Servo AF mode. Choose Shooting Speed Priority to make achieving the maximum frames per second rate the priority; choose Focus Priority to restrict the camera to taking the shot after focus is achieved. The default setting gives equal priority to both concerns. Select AF Area Selection Mode (C.Fn II-7): By default, the 90D rotates through all five AF Area Selection Modes when you press the AF Area Selection Mode button when using the viewfinder. You can customize this by removing those you don’t want to see from this rotation. The only exeption (you knew there was going to be one!) is Manual Selection: 1-Point AF. It stays, whether you want to see it or not. Limit AF Methods (C.Fn II-8): Like the previous function, this setting limits the AF methods you can use, only when you are shooting in Live View. Orientation Linked AF Point (C.Fn II-10): Normally, the AF Area mode you select, as well as the AF point or zone you choose, remain in effect whether you orient the camera horizontally or vertically. If you change this setting to Select Separate AF Points, the camera remembers the settings you choose while holding the camera horizontally, vertically with the grip on top, and vertically with the grip on the bottom. Then when you rotate the camera, it automatically shifts to those settings. *Initial Servo AF* (C.Fn II-11): This option controls which AF point the AI Servo AF or Servo AF uses when the AF Area Selection mode is set to Automatic Selection AF for the viewfinder or the AF Method is set to Face+Tracking in Live View. By default, the system selects whichever AF point it thinks is best. However, you can change this behavior and pre-select an AF point to start on, whether preset or the last one you used. AF Point Selection Movement (C.Fn II-13): By default, when you’re selecting an autofocus point, you hit a wall when you reach the edge of the grid of autofocus points. If you change this menu option to Continuous, the selection instead wraps around the viewfinder by jumping to the point on the opposite side. This function applies to viewfinder shooting only.

I sold my 90D and purchased the 7D MK II and now I am much happier. Focus nailed every time.

Thank you very much for the comparison between these both cameras in terms of wild life photography. Concerning the autofocus issue of 90d (lost the Focus of bird) I want to comment that from technical point of view many Canon cameras like 1dxmii, 7dmii, 80d, 90d,... are using one and the same parameters in order to configure the autofocus performance. These parameters are so called "Tracking sensitivity", "Accel./Decel tracking" and "AF pt Auto switching". The SW algo using these parameters as input is in every camera the same, I guess. Only the hardware is different. As far as I know the autofocus HW module for the optical view finder of 90d is a new development derived from the one of 1dxmii. Thus, I wonder why the performance of 90d in terms of tracking birds shall be worse than 7dmii. For sure the 7dmii as well as the 1dxmii are capable to offer pre-configured autofocus settings in its menu so called case1...case6. Which allows to access different focus situations very quickly. But these pre-configurations do only use the three parameters mentioned above in different combinations. Thus, I recommend to configure the 90d in the same way as the 7dmii in order to compare the bird tracking capability. When I have a look to the pre-configurations, I would prefer to use case 2 for bird photography. The parameters are set as follows: "Tracking sensitivity = -1", "Accel./Decel tracking = 0" and "AF pt Auto switching = 0". I assume the Tracking sensitivity value is in this case the root cause for losing the focus in the 90d. Thus I recommend to change this value to minus one in the 90d CFn.II autofocus menu. Whereby “-1” means that the focus remains longer on the motif and doesn’t change to other items appearing in the image behind or in front of the original motif.

This was a great video. Hard to find such a non-flashy, objectively based review video that really focus on REAL world pros/cons - and just not just pro/cons for youtubers/vloggers! Thank you very much.

I clicked on this video mostly because it is Janine. Such an elegant beauty 😮😍. I'll stop typing now so I can concentrate on enjoying the eye candy.......

I wish Canon would release a 7D mkIII (I just love how indestructible the 7D cameras are)... But nowadays it's all about mirrorless.

Autofocus tracking sensitivity IS AVAILABLE on the 90D.. just not as a separate menu item but you can register the individual tracking items in the MY Menu. Also: Autofocus tracking for BIF is made better by disabling the Face and ITR (also in the setup menus). You didnt' mention any of this in your review.

Very informative and real world review....scoring made sense without discouraging either model...just a very neat and well presented review... thank you....looking forward to watching more reviews....live in the Rockies and looking forward to some nice nature shots this spring. I must say, with all due respect, you are an absolute pleasure to look at.

This comparison video was ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING! I am a basketball photographer here in Japan and have been contemplating these two for some time. Thank you very much...and I’ve subscribed.

A real "real world review" by someone who is wildlife photography! Good work! You should try the M6 Mk II too!

Great review. I've been thinking of upgrading my 7D mark 1. I do a lot of dog photography so AI servo is absolutely vital for me. 7DII seems a much better option for my usage. Cheaper too!

I loved the video and comparison between 7Dii and 90D. Started out with a 400D, then 7D and now the 7Dii. It is a great camera only let down by the AA filter which does effect IQ. I wish canon would do a firmware update to squeeze more performance outfit the hardware, or offer some internal hardware upgrade. As the 7Dii still has a very large owner following who have not, and probably will not upgrade to a newer body.

I could listen to you talk all day. So intelligent and articulate. Wonderful review, Janine.

upgraded my set up from a t5 to a used 7d mkii recently and I have to say that I am blown away that a camera that old is so fast and reliable. From my experience buying a used 7d mkii for a budget nature photography setup if you can find them in good condition for cheap enough is a great option.

I wish canon to make 7d mark iii with articulating screen with 24 mp it would be wonderful.

Thank you for your info. As a 7DII user since it came out many years ago, I was curious how the 90D would compare. Given that I rented one and shot with it Feb 5 - 12th in Sanibel, Florida. I agree with virtually all your thoughts. Some add'l insights are: * 90D doesn't have a dual back button focus. Dual Back Button is important to me depending on BIF or still shot * 90D with 1.4TC and 100-400 II Image quality outperformed the 7DII with the same lens configuration * 90D AF initially for BIF in Flight was "very bad". After making multiple AF adjustments the AF system went from "very bad" to almost good enough In conclusion, for me, if there was a 7DIII with flip screen, Touch screen, Dual Back Button, 32MB sensor, and most of all equal or better than 7D II AF system I would consider buying. But for now, I can't justify the 90D

Well, there are detailed settings for the AF system in Custom Function II. I wish reviewers spent some time to get to know the equipment before the review.

Had the chance of handling a friend's 90D and discovered that there is a Autofocus chapter in the menu of 90D as well, similar to those of 7D ii or 5D iv. I don’t know if It's exactly same as those of single digit cameras', but fine tuning of AF tracking sensitivity /responsiveness, acceleration/deceleration etc are available in 90D as well.

Great video, and what a beautiful spot for photos!! Great comparison, thank you for uploading, it was good to hear about the buffer etc. I recently found out that tracking sensitivity on 90D can be adjusted in customer controls. Canon has a live chat now and they can guide through the camera settings if required.

Great video. I used to shoot with the 7Dii but felt really restricted by the limitations on using high ISO. I didn't like pushing the 7Dii above ISO1000. It was for that reason I actually moved to the 5Div which as a full frame gives me a much better ISO performance and I don't feel I have lost the reach from the cropped sensor.

Thanks Janine for an honest review by the master of the craft. Hope to learn a lot from you in future.

Great contribution, after the failure with the Eos RP on moving objects I decided on the 90D together with the Sigma lenses 18-35 (Landscape, Street) 150-600Contemporary with 1.4 teleconverter and the 70-200 Sport with 2-fold teleconverter, let's see if I can get the 7DMKII as a used body at a good price she can then move in, Greetings from Germany, Markus

Having shot both, I recently choose the 90D for the better overall image quality & High ISO capabilities when shooting larger animals. Use my 1Dx Mark II or 5D Mark IV for birds in flight.

A year ago I got a Canon 100-400 zoom and I almost bought a 90D as a second body for it (I already had an 80D). I came across this video and saw that the 7Dii autofocus was much better than 80/90D, so I bought a new 7Dii and grip instead at a very good price. I confirm that this video is spot on, the 7Dii blows the 80D into the weeds on quickly changing autofocus for birds. I also find the 7Dii much better in other ways; faster, quieter, better sealed, better exposition with and without flash, and the CF card is way faster copying off onto a PC than an SD card. Thanks again for the excellent advice!

Janine, first off, your AMAZING at helping teach me good photo tips and tricks and instructional videos on my wildlife shooting. I only wish I could afford one of your Pangolin photo safaris!!! Keep up the amazing job!

I own the 90D, and it is an impressive piece of equipment, and for me, it is my go to camera.

Very nice real world review, it's great to hear from people who really use them so make real comments. I have the 80D and the weight and bulk is a real benefit for climbing / hiking - where you need a 400 5.6, 70-200 2.8 and a wide zoom with you and you don't want a big bag! My wife has the 760D and this is too small for me -I have no idea how I'd manage with a small mirrorless, especially with a 400 / 500mm lens - the 760D is ok with 400 but to small for 500. Mirrorless battery life is also a concern for me and the real viewfinder is great - tried EVF for 2 days and din't get a feel for it. However you have a more "pro" viewpoint and it's clear the 7D has big advantages, the weight is the only issue. I'm rarely above iso 1600, but the 80D is ok up to 3600, above is never so nice. A great review which got me listenning and thinking - more please - the best out there!

She had the same mindset with mine. I prefer 90D is because of the image quality and IS in videos. But as for tracking and brust mode. 7Dii stands out because of the CF card. In terms for wildlife, i will prefer the 7Dii, however if you want a camera with general purpose 90D is better.

Thanks, very informative. I just bought the 90D today and arriving tomorrow and so excited...

Thank you, great review ! I have been looking at the 90 D but its less rugged body is my main reason to hesitate. The better noise level at 6400 ISO is a definite plus and also the flip out screen, I think Canons main reason for not incorporate it in its "single figure models" is that its much easiier to break or damage that compared to the solid screens. I have the 70 D since many years, think I bought it 2013 when my old 7D mk 1 broke down and its ok but then when 7D mk2 came out that was soo much better, I still use that mostly for wildlife/ nature photography in northern Sweden ´(Lapland). That great noise at 6400 Iso is my reason to still consider 90 D seriously. so thanks for showing that so clear. Still hoping for a 7D MK 3... Bo Nilsson Sweden

really amazing review.... we were in the market for a camera and this review really did make it easier for us 😊

Such a helpful review. I am one year late but it's still good to watch this comparison :)

In Wildlife photography, I see my future not just for hobby but in this I want to take a lens so that I can start with that lens by taking the best picture.

Thanks so much for this great review. I have a 7Dii which I absolutely adore but I was thinking of getting another newer camera to increase my range. I was looking at the 90D as a possibility so your review was well-timed. I’ll stick to my 7Dii as it suits me and I don’t think the 90D would meet my requirements

Hi there, Nice review however i have a small remark. 😊 You are off in the comparison in regards to the AF. The 90D’s AF is way better. It’s true in the 7DM2 is a separate AF menu. But each and every setting can be made also in the 90D. There is no menu with cases. But one can create easy a customised AF menu in the green section with exact the same as in the 7DMII. The technical details of the AF for the 90D are way better😏 btw i own both bodies.

Very fair review - so difficult to compare what are virtually home computers for photography in 5 points and I have no problem with the conclusions. I would like to add however, that in addition to 4k video, blue-tooth compatibility and various other modern additions, the 90D includes focus bracketing software. For quality images I tend to use my 5D mIV (wonderful camera) but I got the 90 D for versatility and reduced weight in the field. The focus bracketing works with my Canon macro lens, my 100-400mm and the 24-105 mm lenses. So focus bracketing can have the widest possible application.

great review, thanks for sharing! and that beautiful location!! As a 80D owner, and someone who isnt a fan of the 7D series (mostly because of its bulk), I think i keep trying to find reviews that really show the AF performance from both 7DII and 90D (as someone mentioned, the AF setting can be fine tuned in the menu of 80/90D). Even if the 7Dii was a more manageable size, I'd have a tough time giving up the newer technologies and updates that the 90D has (sensor, flip screen, wifi!, video) at the same price point. As I'm sure there's a lot of other photographers in the same boat, maybe as a followup video, it'd be nice if you could fine tune the settings the best you can for the 90D (specifically for bird photography) and share results. Thanks again for sharing!!

nice review, was planning to buy 90D, now i have seen this video i think im gonna wait and keep searching ....thanks for this review

great video.. well presented from a super knowledgeable pro photographer--well done and thanx.. I had the 7dMkII for a short time a few years ago.. battery issues were horrendous even with GPS shut down--only about 300+ shots.. as there is a slim to no chance of a new 7dMkIII coming out with Canon basically 'giving up' on DSLR's.. hopefully a rumored R7 mirrorless version will show up soon from Canon

Great comparison! This question still comes up a lot for people for Canon action shooters.

Good review. A minor misinformation around 12:30 that Canon single digits cameras do not have flip screens. In reality Canon 6D Mark II has a flip vari-angle screen.

I am a Nikon shooter,. but this review is very helpful for me as well.I think we all have our own favorites in cameras and lenses, each of us is an individual who prefers a different type of photography .So there is always something for everyone.As long as you are happy :). We also have dreams of buying a better gear, but not always we can simply afford.But I tried to make the best of whatever I have , I need to appreciate.Thank you very much Janine for your great review on both cameras in such a spectacular garden.Very helpful and useful.

Hi Jeanine. I have been debating on whether I should buy the 70-200 iii. Or the 70-200 II. But been also looking at the 100-400mm II and or the 150-600mm sigma. I will be using on the canon 90d. I want you to help me decide or narrow it down. Since the 90d it’s a bit picky because of the 32.5 mg pixel. Sorry it’s a big question. If you already have those comparisons let me know so I can check it out. Thank you 🙏 for all the wisdom you have shared with us all so far.

Fantastic review. I was intending to trade in the 7D II on a 90D because of articulated screen and video, but after looking at that AF tracking, I will keep the 7D II and get the 90D as an additional camera. Thank you.

Thank you very much for the video. Very appreciated. I would only mention that even 90D has the option to tune the autofocus in regarss tracking sensitivity and stickyness, but it's hidden in the custom functions, C.Fn II :Autofocus. Well, I know 7DII's more customizable and better, but 90D has some degree of customization too.

Outstanding presentation and comparison. Pleasant delivery. Thanks.

first of all this is hands down the best comparison video on here, ive owned my 7dmkii for around 4 years now and its took an absolute beating and its still going strong to this day. i also use a battery grip on mine so i get the extra shots without having to mess around swapping them out

I have owner both the 7D and the 7dMK2. Hands down the mk2 is the best I’ve owned. Performance overall is top notch. Started with the early digital rebel 20d, 5d mk1,40d, 7D and now the mk2. Favorite lens 135 f2 and 100-400mm mk1. Had the 85mm f1.2 but sold it as it wasn’t being used much. Cheers

I always looking forward to your videos, thank you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌹

bedankt voor de tip

Thank you for an excellent comparison of these two cameras. Well done!

Some corrections out of my experience: 1. the 90D does have a comprehensive autofucus menu, with all of the options she claimed were missing and more! 2. The tracking of the optical view in the 90D is superior to the live view's one, at least for wildlife photography, as it's faster 3.the high pixels density of the 90D requires the use of high revolving lenses (100-400 ii is a great choice) and higher than usual shutter speed- once these two are utilized the result would be far superior to the 7d ii I appreciate the time spent on making this video and do consider it's release date which was close to the 90D release but the 90D is a far superior camera to the 7D mark ii, not even mentioning its video capabilities which are fantastic!

Excellent video.very good comparison between the 2 cameras. keep it up. i have subscribed to your channel. thanks a lot BTW i have using a 7d MKII for the last 5 years. love it

Nice review, I was curious about the 90D’s performance in comparison to the 7D Mk2. I have owned a 7D MK2 since it was first released and it has been a great camera for me. I mainly bought it for photographing birds in flight. I also found that the 7D Mk2 could perform a little better in low light, but for the most part the camera has not disappointed me. Thanks for taking to the time to show us a comparison between the two cameras! :-)

It helped me a lot by watching your video. I have a Canon 7d mark 2 camera. It has been taken some time ago, it has been 10 to 15 days and I should tell you which lens you should use that can take the best picture wildlife

Hi Janine, THX for your vid. On 3 July 2020, I order a Canon 90 D. So far so good. Then I read your chapter about 90d vs 7dii. On 18 July 2020, I order a NEW Canon 7 D ii. Now I must learn a lot, but the menus are simple. I learn also from KZfaq, and I net. My last CANON was a Canon FTb, that was in 1972. After that, I use LUMIX and NIKON and LEICA. The sound from the Mirror makes me Happy again! Still, I look to the NEW Canon R 5 and the new lenses 600- and 800- mm. Cheers, Frits from Thailand *_* [65-year friendship with the Shutter]

Thank you for the great video! I own the 7D Mk II myself, and I have photographed airplanes on takeoff and landing, weddings, portraits, and pack shots. It is huge favorite of mine and I love using it! I have a 70-200mm 2.8L IS on it and it has never failed, even in pouring rain. However I am looking towards mirrorless now. Do you think that the EOS R models will have a place in wildlife photography? Your opinion is much appreciated!

Outstanding honest comparison, thanks a lot!

The 90D has the capacity for 'stickiness'. Perhaps this was added with a recent update to the camera?

Getting ready to upgrade from my Canon Rebel T5 i and I was considering the 7D MK ii. Mainly because the lenses I own and have been using are compatible and it will save me from having to purchase new lenses. I use my camera for multiple purposes such as outdoor sporting events, indoor concerts, weddings, nature, and wildlife.

Many thanks for review! I am "wildlife" heavy trucks photographer in automotive magazine, and have used 7d more than 12 years day by day with only one repair. So, now i have choosen 7d mark ll, cause often im working in really tough weather conditions like rain, snow, dirty roads etc. And l need to have very fast camera, to make shots like running through the snow. So, my choice in 2022 is 7d mark ll

Great review. I've been using the 7Dmkii for 5 years, have travelled the world with it and still love using it today. Just ordered a Tamron 150-600mm G2 as I'm really getting into wildlife photography. Wish they'd do a 7Dmkiii as I like the professional camera but don't want to go full frame.

What a super comparison video, straight to the point on both cameras and makes me happy I bought the 7D Mark II. I also like knowing the 7D has built in GPS, Intervalometer, and decent enough ISO performance. Yet the 90D sounds strong in many other areas, especially the flip screen ( had one on my Canon G3 a century ago ) and they are very nice for composition. Hard to decide best.

Good video, but the most important thing is the image quality so the the 90d is better, also 30mpx is superior, you can crop more

Thanks a lot for the video you shared about back focusing. You really helped me a lot and now I realise that I missed a lot of shots because I was doing it wrong all the time.

Your video is very organized so I can easily get what I want to know,thank you!

I think I will go for the 7D Mark II after this Review. Thanks for the Informations 👌

great review (it gets my goat when i miss the focus on birds in flight too)!

very nice comparison. I have had the 7D MkII for some time and absolutely love it except for the poor performance at high ISO. Was hoping for a Mk III from Canon with the better sensor and tilt screen, but they gave us the 90D. Good to have this information for decision-making. I have taken flower and bird photos at Kirstenbosch. What a lovely place as is all of ZA.

Useful presentation and comparison. Thanks.

I have only just found this review and thoroughly enjoyed watching it. I have a 7D MkII and have already replaced the top part of the body as a result of rain ingress. I wouldn't fit the large battery pack as it increases the weight too much. I just carry a couple of batteries in my pocket. Hand holding any large digital camera with a heavy lens on a pelagic trip (8 hours) overall weight is a significant consideration as you quite rightly pointed out. I also can't understand why Canon doesn't have the flip screens on their pro bodies. I noticed the new Sony mirrorless cameras have them. Janine, If you have time I would be very interested to find out how you have your Autofocus tracking sensitivity set up on your cameras, please.

Wow, you must be strong seeing how you're handling those bulky cameras with ease. I was struggling with the tiny Sony A6400 while shooting for a couple of hours.

Hi Janine, although I don’t normally comment on KZfaq videos I felt I must comment on this review as it does the 90D a great injustice, you obviously Know your 7DMk11 very well as you have had it a long time, but you don’t know the 90D at all well, as you have made a lot of Errors in your review. I except the 90D Focusing system is not as good as the 7D Mk11 but it can be fine tuned in exactly the same way as the 7DMk11, the focusing options are there you just have to look for them and there are many more tweaks you can do for Wildlife Photography and the technology has moved on a lot since the 7DMk11. Canon should have made a 7DMK111 before moving onto Mirrorless It’s such a shame , the Mirrorless Cameras are not ready for Wildlife yet in my opinion and I know from my Bird Photography fraternity we were all waiting for the 7D Mk111.

both are nice cameras. If you were moving to a new camera would you stay with a mirrored camera or go mirrorless?

I just wanted to comment on your statement re 7dii battery life.. My first outing with my 7dii was to an airshow, I had a new n battery and a 32gb Transcend Cf card inserted initially. I decided I would change the card when the first battery started to switch off the camera due to low power. I had filled that card with over 3500 jpegs on a single battery. Admittedly GPS was disabled and image preview set to only a few seconds. I was shooting in long bursts but I was also turning the camera off when I wasnt shooting.

Just got my Mk II today, after trading in my beloved 7D. Really looking forward to putting it through its paces. The first lens I put on it was my 24-105.

I have both the 90D and 7D Mark II but I really can't say which one I like better for wildlife photography. The 7D Mark II is definitely designed for outdoors and the 90D has newer technology......so I can't decide. I use both of them for wildlife photography, as well as my 5D Mark IV.

Thanks for the review. Well done. Very well grounded in practical, real-world use considerations. You identify, better than others, an issue with the 90D’s focus servo abilities that others have also mentioned. For me, wanting the 90D to be an action/birding camera, i’m left thinking, “Dang, everything but THE ONE most important capability!”

Great comparison Ma'am! I do enjoy learning about the Canon cameras, because I wish to upgrade soon and I want to make an informed decision. Thanks so much!

12:22 - We can. The only single digit (and full frame at the same time) DSLR model to have flip screen is *6D Mark II* .

Thank you Janine Krayer, we purchased a new 7D mk11 (G) because of your review and we love it, it is a classic camera, (the Mercedes Benz of Crop Cameras), we know all about how great new "mirror-less" cameras are but there is something special about these older cameras,

I have been using the 7DII since 2014, mainly for wildlife but its very capable in all areas of photography, I've used it in tandem with my full-frame shooting weddings. People seem to have it in their minds its a wildlife camera only. I have found it is the great for all kinds of photography. I turned off the GPS and never had an issue with battery life.That said I dont like to take it over ISO 3200 so thats when I will use my 5DIII. I personally find my 7DII more fun to use. As for the 90D I think I prefer the bodies of the 7DII and 5DIII so I probably wont go to any double number canon camera

Thank you. Super helpful.

Very interesting and rare video, thank you! Best regards).

The EOS 7D MkII has built in GPS. A major benefit over the EOS 90D. The AF toggle switch is a really neat feature on the EOS 7D MkII.

woohoo, i discover your channel and it is by far the most down to earth camera review/comparison i ever see! I'm curious to know what you think about the m43 camera for wildlife, like the Olympus E-M1 mkII or III

very good review. One of the best for wildlife and BIRDS IN FLIGHT. ( which is a rare review)

Thank you so much for making this video. I currently shoot with the Canon EOS R.. but picked up a Mint Canon 80D for $400. I was using it as a backup but sometimes I use it for macro to get that extra reach as well as Wildlife once again to get that extra reach. But I was looking around at the 7D Mark II and I'm seeing them and mint condition used of course for about $700. And I was actually thinking tonight should I sell my 80D for the 7D? Then I stumbled upon your video. I haven't watched it yet but I just wanted to say thank you.

This video has some good points but I'm sorry the 90d is picky on lenses I have the 70-200 2.8 ii it's razor sharp and auto focus is amazing

Please suggeste to go with the best over 5d mark 4 and 90d. I wanted to buy the best to become a photographer

I used a 7D mkii for a number of years. It was a big improvement on the original 7D and was a fantastic wildlife action camera when used in good light. However it's low light, high ISO abilities was still lacking. I also own a 6D and found that I was using it more and more as wildlife here in Wales (particularly badgers which I shoot a lot in available light) is generally found in poor lighting conditions. As a result I sold the 7D mkii in favour of a 5D mkiv, which, although not as fast as the 7D, produces much better quality low light images.

Nice video. I have both cameras. One feature you have to try is adding the Canon 1.4x III extender to your comparison test. At 896mm, 400mm x 1,6 crop x1.4 extender, the 90D has 24 AF points at f/8, the 7D Mark II only 1 AF point. A huge difference for Birds in flight. You will love the extra reach for wildlife and the image quality is sharp at 896mm, handheld.

Excellent review. Thank you...

Great review! I have to disagree slightly with the battery life. I have a 7d Mark II and get hundreds of shots with one battery. I have never used a 90d so I can't say its better or worse but I've never had to use my 2nd battery for my 7d Mark II.

very nice simple explained ......well done

I am really confused between Canon 7D Mark II and Nikon D7500 to purchase now. Which one should I get for bird and wildlife photography and fantastic image quality? Please reply. PLEASE

Excellent review , I own both camera , think your were spot on, do you have any other reviews I can check out please

Thanks for this excellent comparison. I found your video while looking for a sport/wildlife oriented crop sensor camera, to compliment my fullframe camera. I am not buying new, and in that regard, the 7D II has another advantage over the 90D. The second hand prices in my area are 30%-50% lower for a nice 7D II compared to the 90D. The availability is also a bit better. The only pitfall is that secondhand 7D's can have had a rough life, although their build quality should help in that area as well.
