p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · 7DII frustrations


I have been following the threads on 7DII problems with interest I got the first copy my dealer got in and I have been fighting it ever since. I gave up today and took it to the dealer for them to sne in to Canon for me. If it is just me then fine but I need to have the camera looked at. I have tried BIF shots with image stabilization both on and off. I set ISO to get shutter speed of 1/3000 second. I set it to focus priority. I tried single focus point but when images came out muddy and blurred I blamed it in me missing focus. Then I tried the eight surrounding points with the same results and wondering again if it was me. Then I tried all focus points with the hawks almost filling the frame against a blank sky. I sent my Tamron 150-600 in for the firmware update. I read about possible thermal convection blurring shots from inside the car so I got out of the car to shoot. I could perhaps accept the fact that I'm an idiot and will never get decent BIF shots but even static shots weren't reliable. It has me wishing that I hadn't sold the 60D so fast. I like the improved high ISO performance and the 10 shots per second (nothing like having twice as many blurry shots to delete). I may miss some chances at BE while it's gone but won't miss the frustration of blurry bald eagles. Thanks for letting me vent. It didn't help but thanks anyway.

Well....for what its worth....there have been reported instances of where there have been some units with focus issues....so maybe yours is in that "batch" as well.
